Aloha everyone, I used ledger in emacs (with babel) for many years managing the finances of two small non-profits. It did require learning a few things but so does org-mode.
That's not to say that one size fits all, but ledger for me took a lot of the work out of things, and once you learn how to do it, double entry bookkeeping really makes financial management easier. I'm not saying that custom org-mode code is the "wrong" way to go; the right way to go is whatever works for you, even if that's (oh my) a single-entry Excel spreadsheet. But my take is that once you learn ledger, and especially when you integrate it into Emacs, you'll be sold. -- Bob Newell Honolulu, Hawai`i - Via GNU/Linux/Emacs/Gnus/BBDB
