Re: Accounting for contractors using GnuCash?

Here's what I do, but it might not work for you. I use two pieces of software for accounting, bookkeeping, and compliance: gnucash and prosystemfx from CCH (Wolters Kluwer). gnucash is excellent for tracking expenses, but for income amounts I rely on 1099's, DIV's, etc. Similarly, I sometimes use

Re: Accounting for contractors using GnuCash?

I have an interesting solution for recording mileage within Gnucash. I presume you have something like Expenses:Business:Travels already set up in your local currency. You could create an account called Expenses:Business:Mileage in currency XXX, and it will contain only mileage records. It doesn'

Re: Is there a way to set an account's beginning balance AFTER having created it in GnuCash?

A thought, I never, or just the last 40 years, make a beginning entry in account creating. Sometimes I set up my next year before I have closed out my previous year, so I don't have the final transactions for the Asset, Liability and Equity accounts. I have a list of opening balance transac

Bob, The Opening Balance shortcut that you see when creating an account is not functional after the account is created, as you have seen. That shortcut just creates a transaction to offset the opening balance with an entry in Equity:Opening Balances. You can open that account and duplicate any p

Re: Accounting for contractors using GnuCash?

I worked for decades as a contractor in IT. Briefly, what I needed as a single entity was pretty simple, and fell well within the capabilities of GnuCash. I assume here you work as a contractor essentially in a 'do the work, get paid' mode. Whether you operate on a b2b direct mode or in a 1099
