I run the accounts for a couple of clubs with similar needs. Setup
one accounts file for each club so they are kept separate.  I have not
bothered with the complexities of the business features (invoices etc)

As to whether it is the right application for you I can only say that
it meets all my needs (and handles my personal accounts too, in anther

There is a catch 22 here.

Do YOU contribute, are a member of, and intend to be the treasurer of
all of the organizations for all time?

GnuCash is flexible enough that you can carry all of the organizations
in one file.  It only requires only a top level account for each
organization.  I am currently carrying accounts for 4 separate
businesses in one file, because I set up top level accounts for each
entity.  And now I am adding a 5th company. Technically they should be
all separate but; I contribute to all 5, and I am "required" to be a
partner in each as long as each entity exits.  Plus, I am the only one
competently capable of preparing financial reports.

Here is where the catch 22 hits.  You may not be the treasurer for one
of the entities at a future date.  In your case, I would consider
setting up a separate set of books (separate files) for each
organization.  You can initially set them up identically but; each will
evolve separately.  And at the end of your tenure, the books of each
individual organization, and only those books can be passed to the next
treasurer for that organization.

--JEffrey Black M.B.A.





That's a very good suggestion, thank you.

Today I'm working just like that in a commercial software so I 
understand the setup.

Hi Geof

With the choices I’ve got I choose “open”

Hi Robert

No! One screen only with four desktops! I'm not able to find the
setting you're referring to. Will you give me some more detail on
where to find it?

Hi Fred

Unfortunately it's not the case here. It doesn't matter how many times
I start the program. After the warning it just goes away. I can't see
any process in the Activity monitor either.
