The thing you have to consider is the security of your data. Publishing to the world that your club has $40,000 in the bank could be a major problem. There are a number of alternatives, gnucash has a windows client and is very extensible for reporting purposes. It comes up complicated but has nice OFX import features which makes book keeping really easy. It also has fuzzy matching same as spam which means that it will do the right thing more easily once set up.
