Bret,

You need to do your own investigation and testing and testing and more
testing.  Other users can help with specific details of testing, but we
do not know whether you will be satisfied with the results.  You used
the word automatic, GnuCash does nothing automagically.  It is capable
of doing a lot of tasks well, but manually.

Since we are using the product, you can be confident that it meets our
needs fairly well, but your needs may differ.
