Please explain WHAT you are doing with spreadsheets. In other words, are 
you simply using spreadsheets to do old fashioned pen and ink on paper 
double entry bookkeeping (using columns just like standard accounting 
paper)? In that case, the learning curve would be short (and of course 
your reference to errors understandable, as finding /correcting the 
inevitable errors the bane of a bookkeeper's existence in pen and ink on 
paper days)

OR -- have you not been doing double entry? In which case your first 
step should be to look at the tutorial to see if that provides enough 
basics << if not, get a double entry bookkeeping 101 type text, with the 
understanding that you will be ENTERING the data directly into the 
journal --- so see if it has examples of "cashbook accounting".
