Working with membership accounts

[Raymond Laverty]

Dear all,

I’m new to Gnucash and would therefore appreciate any tips you may regarding the following:

I work for a small organisation that has about 100 members from around the globe. Since we are planning to increase our membership dramatically over the next few years, I decided it might be good to start using an accounting software. Our budget is small, we have only one bank account and a paypal account, and our income is from membership fees and project funding.

My question is therefore, what is the best/easiest way in Gnucash to keep track of my members’ payments? Should I enter each one as a customer, and enter an invoice for each, or should I just create an account for each member or …??

Thanks for your assistance,

Ray
