Initializin GNU Cash

[Jim Douglas]

Well I have been using a spreadsheet all these years.

My accountant initially set it up with Account ID and Descriptions.  I was wondering if I could create a format from that to export from Excel and Import all those ID and Descriptions to initialize GNU Cash...

Is ther an file import spec somewhere?

Thanks,
Jim

I have an S-Corp and want to use GNU Cash.



What is the best way to initialize the software?  Are there any template files that will create the accounts?


Don't know what version you're using, but in 2.2.5 you can start GnuCash then do File->New->New File. GnuCash will then offer to help you create an initial chart of accounts.

Or, if you've already started creating a chart of accounts, go to your account tab then click File->New->New Accounts Hierarchy.
