Of course, it is up to you what to use, but I suggest trying invoices 
before totally rejecting GnuCash: setting up receipts so they appear as 
you want them takes a bit of time, but you don't need to do that.  Just 
using the 'invoice' function would add a few seconds at most for 
processing, and certainly take far less time than any form of manual 
book-keeping.

GnuCash is much quicker than the dedicated charity accounting package my 
husband was forced to used for a church treasurer role, and the level of 
extra effort is minimal for the extra information you gain for reporting 
and oversight.

regards,

Katie
