There is no panacea for replacing QuickBooks with GnuCash but I'm starting to warm to the workarounds: * https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-February/099811.html - use tags instead of classes, the transaction report is the only one that supports filtering so other reports would need to be modified, also no grouping by tag (ie every transaction shown) in any report * https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-September/097666.html - Cash Accounting with Automated GST which requires data to be prepared offline and imported instead of using the Gnucash gui
I'll test these workarounds soon because I'm keen to give Quickbooks the flick. Mark Bole wrote: > Here is an example of an import file... Open the file in a spreadsheet and simplify it.

"Works great" implies the workaround is as good as Quickbooks classes, which it isn't for either data entry or reporting.

GnuCash can be recompiled but forget it for Windows. R Losey wrote: > Also, do you really need to import data from Quickbooks? It is normally useful to convert any data you can. There are plenty in this community with decades of data, especially for investments. You need history for tax records, time series analysis, eg rental payments, insurance bills, water usage, etc., and preparing budgets.
