| After years of working with accounting software these days whenever I have
| to do small business books and family books in the end I just use Google
| docs-spreadsheet.  In the end a well done spreadsheet and smart pivot
| tables can accomplish a lot.  I mean granted this is not a substitute for
| quickbooks, but it is also easier to sell LibreOffice Calc and google
| spreadsheeets as replacements for Excel than it is to sell gnucash as a
| substitute for quickbooks.
| 
| Also just googling around there is this:

| 
| Not sure if that will be an easier sell the gnucash.
