accounts.
GnuCash is supposed to be able to import anything that it can export, so if
you try to find an existing account tree example in a
There is no panacea for replacing QuickBooks with GnuCash but I'm starting
to warm to the workarounds:

- use tags instead of classes, the transaction report is the only one that
supports filtering so other reports would
By coincidence, I too am trying to import my QuickBooks well-tuned COA
into GnuCash via CSV files. I already knew to try the things
recommended in this thread but still have indeterminate results. I

Also, do you really need to import data from Quickbooks? I used Quicken,
not Quickbooks, but (by and large), I just started up GnuCash afresh and

The easiest way to learn is to set up a dummy GnuCash book with a few
accounts and transactions (doubtless you have done this already as part
