Grisbi is a knock off of GnuCash and is for personal not business and has some preset account info setup already. It is a good substitute for Quicken (if you are on that route).

I tried doing the PFX thing and found it to take more time than manually entering the transactions - my bank didn't categorize the transactions properly so I had to revisit each transaction, which seemed to defeat the purpose.

I would suggest GnuCash. It can do double-entry accounting, investments, and it has a simple mode. You can also import your bank's PFX output, if offered, to enter your transactions automatically to then be categorized. Oh, and it's been packaged by nearly every distribution and has a Windows port, if anyone is forced (under duress) to use it there.

Spouse 1.0 gets cranky sometimes when she deals with finances! Even if

The key is a transaction document to start with. Like you need a purchase order to become a payables document but it becomes a liability first. How else would you balance the books? Similar example with payroll. The withholdings etc become a liability when the paycheck is entered,

This sounds like a solution that would only work for businesses. There is no need for a Purchase Order in GNUCash, and shouildn't be for a personal finance package. I'm not sure what a transaction document is, but I do balance our accounts monthly, so again, it feels like GNUCash is a more appropriate solution for what Mike was asking.
