I noticed that Josh Sled has already replied, but I'll throw in a  
slightly shorter description just for kicks. For more info, you can  
check the README file:
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/README
and the README.dependencies file
http://svn.gnucash.org/trac/browser/gnucash/trunk/README.dependencies

GnuCash is a C and Scheme implementation of financial accounting  
software making use of over 100 open source libraries from the GNOME  
platform, Perl modules, and online banking utilities. GnuCash runs on  
Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows.

BTW, I think Josh's description is more precise. Mine looks more like  
not-as-informative marketing.
