Ledger rocks as a double entry accounting tool. I've been using it for some basic accounting, expense reports, and more with latex & perl. I even wrote a CSV importer (CSV2Ledger) that provides much of the functionality I felt was missing from importers in other packages (ie: Gnucash). On the flip side, Ledger is exactly that, a double entry accounting tool. Not more, or less. I'm faced with needing the ability to integrate it into some business workflows (ie: expense reporting, invoicing cycles, tax reporting, etc) which I'll have to write all of the logic myself. I can use Ledger for the data, but I have to code the workflows I require. I've been struggling with this for several months, because I want to avoid solutions like Quickbooks that provide a workflow coupled to an accounting backend with proprietary formats in that other OS. I'm certainly open to suggestions.
