How to enter from my old accounting system

[Jeff Earickson]

Mat,

You probably don't want to hear this, but "start fresh".  Pick a date,
beginning of this year, beginning of FY, etc, and start by entering in your
reconciled values from your old system as "opening balance" in Gnucash.
Then go forward from there.  You are well advised to study the Gnucash
guide and work thru the examples there first.  This will give you a good
idea of how you want to set up your own accounts, and it will teach you the
details of how to use Gnucash.  I made the conversion from Quicken 2007 to
GC in February and I started from Jan 1.
