Re: Any suggestions on how to improve this?

I've had a similar problem. My books are still in Quick Books, so I've kept
an old Windows box around to run it. I've looked at GnuCash, and it didn't
seem to do what I needed yet. If I can ever make the time I want to get in
on the GnuCash project so I can create the missing features that will enable
it to be a Quick Books replacement.

It's not just keeping the Windows box that's the problem, I'd have to keep it
around anyway for various client-related reasons. But I've gotten really
sick of how aggressively Intuit pushes the upgrades, especially the tax
table updates. If you don't buy your table updates, QB will refuse to
calculate withholding taxes any more, even though the changes are usually
minor from year to year. (Of course, they'd probably get sued if they did
let you do that.) I ended up re-implementing the withholding stuff in a
spreadsheet, with the calculations based on the Employer's Tax Guide from the
IRS. Pretty easy to do, actually.
