You are in the right place.
Let's take these in order:
#1 Categories/Accounts
GnuCash uses Accounts, not Categories, but you can think of them as
roughly equivalent for what you are likely using them for in CheckBook Pro.
#2 QIF Import
I don't use this import myself, but I *think* if you don't have an
account created, you either get the option to, or it is done for you.
Perhaps someone who regularly uses QIF can shed more light.
I'd advise that the import will probably go a bit smoother if you create
your Accounts when you first set up your GnuCash book. (if you miss a
few no big deal, but try to get that done first if you can)
#3 Balance Sheet
Yes, you can produce a Balance Sheet report. This report is not for a
date range, but as a snapshot in time. (this is not particular to
GnuCash, this is part of the definition of Balance Sheet) But you
certainly can produce a Balance Sheet for every month if you like. (that
is, different reports as of the last day of each month) There is also an
experimental Multi-Column Balance Sheet report that may be useful but it
is not presently 'comparative' with variance columns, but you can always
export any report to a spreadsheet and make your own modifications.
#4 Cash Flow
GnuCash does have a Cash Flow report, but it is more general than most
are used to (maybe more accurately titled 'Asset Flow') and is not
predictive without some extra work. It does report over a date range,
but for the entire range, not by period. (you'd need to run reports for
separate periods)

Adrien

I am new at this, so please bare with me as I learn the correct process.
I am not sure If this the place to ask these questions. If not would you
please direct me to the right location?
I use an iMac and I use CheckBook Pro from the Apple Store to do my accounting
for personal and a small business.
I can export a QIF file from CheckBook Pro. My question is: If I import the
QIF file from CheckBook Pro into GNUCash, will GNUCash set up the account in
GNUCash and use the categories I have used in CheckBook Pro?
Apple Support directed me to look at GNUCash, and it looks like it will do what
I need. That is; if the import of the QIF file into GNUCash is successful, can
I produce a Balance Sheet and Cash Flow Report by month over a set period
(Yearly)?
If I am in the wrong place to ask these questions; I apologize for any
inconvenience I cause. Thanks Nick
