Re: beginning balance of income and expense accounts

In general, I wouldn't bother entering starting balances for income and expense accounts from before the period I am accounting for. Traditionally, those accounts were temporary, and at the end of the accounting period the balances would be reset to zero, being transferred to equity. That isn't

Re: Getting started

I don't know if it is what new users usually do, but I think it's probably one of the better ways to do it. A lot of the difficulties I see on the gnucash-users list come from trying to import data from other programs, especially multi-year Quicken imports. On Sun, Feb 4, 2018 at 6:52 PM Graham

Re: How to best keep track of tax liabilities of a sole proprietorship

My basic approach to such questions is to think about the "5 W's" of reporting (after all, "accounting" is fundamentally about telling an accurate story of what is going on with your money. How you tell that story is dependent on what the standard practices in your local jurisdiction, as well as

It's entirely possible that Frank has a "mybooks.gnucash" file that doesn't have everything, and a bunch of "mybooks.gnucash..gnucash" files which have (incrementally) more of everything, as well as the "*.log" files which go along with them, but beign a new user doesn't realize what those

Re: What's the best way to model "in-flight" transactions?

Remember that your books are supposed to reflect your view of the transactions you are making, not those of other entities. Instead of a credit card payment or an account-to-account transfer, consider the more traditional case of paying a vendor with a check. On January 1st, you buy a CD from a

Re: How to deal with the cash flow and the credit card.

What might be a nice feature for GnuCash to have is the ability to generate an "available credit" column for credit cards in some sort of report. As long as I pay more to credit cards than I spend each month, I pay no interest on the balance. As such, I sort of treat debit and credit cards

Re: Basic Register - Removing Unwanted Columns

Keith, The "Transfer" column isn't ever going to go away. It's fundamental to the concept of double-entry bookkeeping as GnuCash implements it. Double-entry bookkeeping tracks flows of value, and the transfer column says what the other side of the flow is. As for debit and credit, roughly

Re: GnuCash Files names

You probably also have a "den.gnucash", a "den.gnucash.20161107142750.gnucash", a "den.gnucash.20161107142750.gnucash.20161201140745.gnucash", and a "den.gnucash.20161107142750.gnucash.20161201140745.gnucash.20170208132409.gnucash" as well. When you are using GnuCash to work on the file

Re: For UK users: Will gnucash get ready for Making Tax, Digital ?

As far as I am aware, there shouldn't be any licensing issues on the FOSS side about including a government-granted key in the distribution. There are severe technical issues, which may impact licensing, in keeping the government-granted key a secret. Since the last bit is the important part, as

Re: Methods to Track Gift Cards and Similar Items

All those cards represent something that you own and can convert into stuff of value. As such, they are assets, much like cash. They are not, in and of themselves income, any more than cash is. They are not your liabilities, which makes them different than credit cards, and should not be tracked

Accounting for contractors using GnuCash?

I seem to be transitioning from full-time employment to software dev contracting. I don't know really what's involved in that, accounting-wise, in the US. Does anyone know of any resources for how to do the proper accounting as a contractor in the US, especially using GnuCash? Thanks, Buddha

Re: Current terminology

I would mention both on a glossary, cross-referenced. I would probably also consider changing references in the text to FinTS, with the first reference mentioning that it used to be HBCI. On a Wiki, I would redirect HBCI to FinTS, and mention on the page the naming history. But I'm not a user of
