To add to general thoughts on this I'm less certain of the connection
between the two bits of software now than I was a year ago.

My example is that I introduced the incumbent manager (person changes most
years) at a non-profit to GnuCash for Android both last year and this year,
last year the person saw a connection, this year they didn't.

This year's manager said they'd record stuff their own way and I made a few
saved reports for them instead, all happy.
