I could be mistaken about the features of the application. Perhaps he will chime in here on his thoughts about how he uses it. I believe he manages his personal and I think the Church's books. Kevin E.     Sorry about the delay in getting back about GnuCash.    But my priority was to sit on the patio and watch the clear Blue water of the Atlantic and walk around town (being Key West).     Two years now and I have been very happy with GnuCash.   But I do not keep the Church's books.   My previous software was Quicken.    So here are some points relative to Quicken:         Much faster.         Harder to "Cheat" the system, which is really good.         Not as pretty.         Data entry is a little faster.         Charts are not as good.         Is not as intuitive.   (Which I wish they would work on)         Bottom Line:   Would take (which I have) GnuCash over Quicken.     From what I understand, GnuCash was not originally written for business.   But they have added that functionality over the years.

For what it's worth I think there is a web based version of quicken/ quickbooks. That's platform agnostic.

I know SQLLedger/SMBLedger used to be the favorite but I never warmed up to the web-based user interface. (Web-based isn't inherently bad, but SQLLedger's looked cumbersome to me.) Anyway, January is more than half-way over and if I'm gonna change I need to do it soon. Any suggestions? (Howard, were you pushing XTuple's Postbooks?)
