[GNC] GnuCash Friendly Accountant

[John Robins]

Many thanks for your experience.

What I am hoping to find is an accountant whereby we can share the 
GnuCash file on Dropbox with them and then they can output the 
information they need for our filings. That of course would require the 
accountant to have GnuCash operating (on Mac or PC) and have some basic 
understanding of how it works and how to set it up so that we can set up 
the accounts together. That would leave me to enter the transactions on 
to the books day by day, month on month and for the accountant to just 
check over them and do the filing.

 From what you are saying I probably need to make contact with a number 
of accountants in my area and see if I can convince any of them to give 
it a try.

Many thanks, John
