I would agree with Derek here: One document should suffice for both Personal 
and Business guide. Everything from Personal accounting is also of interest 
for Business. Only some Business stuff is not interesting for Personal 
accounting, but if properly labeled these sections will be skipped by the 
Personal guy anyway. 

My point is also that one document instead of two would keep maintenance and 
translation much easier. Take the "Help" vs. "Guide" document as example -- 
now eventually we got one translation of the Help document, but those guys 
stayed far away from the other document. I.e. the threshold to tackle "yet 
another document" is so giantic that I would absolutely vote for keeping this 
in one document. This would mean other translators "only" need to translate 
"yet another chapter" instead of tackling a whole new document... just my 2 
cents.
