OT: accounting via spreadsheet

[der.hans]

moin moin,

Randy mentioned using a ledger rather than suffering the indignity of
paying for software.

I'm fine with paying for software, but it still needs to be Free Software
and it still needs to use a free and open data format.

Are there accountants that support clients who use spreadsheets for the
source data?

In other words, could I obtain or create an OpenOffice.org template for
general personal and small business accounting that an accountant could
use?

If the accountant then imports the data to a proprietary program for
auditing I might be fine with that.

ciao,

der.hans
