Of course, but for someone asking the question that was asked, this sort of
response might not have been, well, helpful.

No, the double-entry form of accounting is an accounting style. Unlike a
simple check register, which is a single entry form of accounting, a
double-entry method provides for a debit entry on one side (income or
liability) and an equal credit amount on the opposite. It is a book-balancing
system. For example, enter a payment of $500 in accounts receivable for
customer Joe Blow (credit) since he paid his bill and a $500 entry (debit) in
the cash account. Take away from accounts receivable and add to cash on hand.
And, yes, the "debit/credit terminology is always confusing for those not
familiar.

when you say double entry are you speaking of having a row whereby you
might send a single payment for two separate issues?
another suggestion is A P H's Moneytalks software. It will allow to split
an entry.

That works fine for check registers and so forth -- for any single
entry system but I do need double entry.
Thanks,

Does anyone have a recommendation for a JFW friendly bookkeeping
program. In depth accounting program with job cost tracking and that sort of
thing is not necessary. A fairly straightforward income/liability debit/credit
program would be sufficient.
