Let's talk a bit tomorrow at the game. I actually took basic accounting in college.

Guys, I don't want to lean on Charlie as he's up to his teeth in taxes. Does anyone have any experience with GnuCash software? Charlie was nice enough to send me the electronic data initially given to David (e.g. membership database, balance sheet in a format compatible with GnuCash, etc.) and I'm trying to make heads or tails of it. My biggest downfall here is that I'm not an accountant and don't know how to think like one. As with most things in life, it can't be that hard.I just can't put the logic together in my head at this point. Anyone willing or able to talk me through some of this "double entry accounting?" Any help is greatly appreciated!! Chris Hanrahan 623.455.9836 home
