Excellent idea!
Explanation --- if (except for the data entered) the two sets of books,
when open, look very identical, there is always the chance of having the
wrong one open. The suggestion by David is to have some VERY visible
difference. The time "wasted" by a one time editing of all the account
names (say a prefix) would be dwarfed by the time you would lose if you
EVER by mistake of entering one organization's transactions into the
other one's books. Especially if you did not notice immediately.
