Have you thought about treating this like a separate business? That's 
the model I'd use.  I think it a good idea have a ledger for this that 
is completely separate from personal/family cash transactions.

Actually, I'd use a spreadsheet as they were invented for exactly this 
purpose, but I understand the urge for people to get as much 
functionality as possible from the applications they already use.
