Also, complexity depends on the type of entity for which books are being 
kept and the jurisdictions to which reporting must be done. Definitely 
not "one size fits all" and why you were advised to consult an 
accountant for that.

Look, once upon a time (within my lifetime) books were kept pen and ink 
on paper ruled for journal and ledger. No matter how complicated the 
books, that worked. Similarly, to a bit more modern, instead of on paper 
could be spreadsheets with columns for journal and ledger. Software like 
gnucash can keep any books that would have been kept in those ways, just 
simpler to enter the data and less prone to error (autoposting: virtual 
journal)

If you mean to be asking a QUESTION "if the books were very 
complicated,could gnucash still handle that?" the answer is yes.

PS --- "multiple currencies" is actually another topic entirely. There 
are (potential) aspects to that you will not see in examples on this 
list. That is because as far as I can tell all the users HERE are using 
solutions within gnucash suited to "continuous re-evaluation" 
assumptions (current currency market) << as opposed to entities 
operating with organizational or statutory requirements as to WHEN such 
re-evaluations/rate conversions are to take place, etc. or other 
restrictions on conversion>> Not that gnucash couldn't handle, but would 
be doing so very differently.
