It's not a new company, but in previous years I have submitted things on
spreadsheets. He has acce[ted spreadsheets in the past - he sent me one
with different tabs for what he needed. He has also suggested commercial
software - one of which was Kashflow. Now he has stopped using that as the
prices have risen, and he is not finding it so good. So I'm glad I did not
go down that route.

He does not seem too fussed about how things are recorded, as long as he
can work out what's happened.
I have just sent him some screenshots from GnuCash, and asked if they are
okay before I start putting this year's transactions in.
