When I showed them GNC, admittedly briefly, they got quite excited--well, by accountant standards at least :) They asked me to discuss it more with them, and help them understand further, after tax time, and were very interested in having it for themselves to browse my books interactively. They also asked if I might be willing to make a small presentation to some of their interested clients to help them understand the possibilities and potential issues if they were to migrate. I shall, of course, be hoping to get a much more thorough understanding of the system myself before I do that :) Perhaps there's hope yet :)
This does NOT surprise me in the least. Before the 2006 house fire one of my orgs had/was using QuickBooks Pro -- for non-profits. In spite of its name, had none of the added features* a non-profit would want (gnucash doesn't either so not replaced (we could get ANY software/hardware with the software/hardware replacement coverage -- didn't have to be the same) I was able to switch to gnucash with essentially zero learning curve. The differences were trivial. In other words, if familiar with QuickBooks, gnucash an attractive alternative. Michael D Novack * Would want invoice/statement production ALSO cash basis and person category "donor" (in addition to customer and vendor) I know of organizations using QuickBooks (and of course gnucash) who work around the lack. The point here is that when we invoice "members" to renew their memberships that is NOT a receivable. They are under no obligation to renew. This is very different from invoicing a customer for goods or services in that they DO owe you the money. The member of a voluntary organization does not. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
