Hi Mark,

My wife, a professional accountant, is using GNUcash for small business and
is making her life much easier.

However, there are a few things it cannot do out of the box, and needs some
tweaking. From memory it is GST stuff and others.

A lot of smaller companies use Xero which is web-based. From my (limited)
inderstanding the customers use it for basic book-keeping while she seems
to do the more "difficult" jobs, as providing regular BAS statements to the
ATO and others.

Regards
Peter
