[GNC] Switching from Quickbooks and getting started

[flywire]

Two things you need to consider before deciding to switch:
1) classes are not supported and the workarounds won't do grouping for
reports (ie list all transactions ordered by workaround for class)
2) with cash accounting there is no automatic tax (GST, sales tax, VAT
etc), it only works with accrual accounting

Further to the advice from Jim DeLaHunt, if you actually enter the
transactions in the GnuCash Tutorial and Concepts Guide sections Getting
Started and Managing Personal Finances you'll learn a lot more, and the
switch will be fairly straightforward once you work out how to get your
data loaded. Managing Business Finances (ie accrual accounting) has brief
examples but they are unrelated and do not form a tutorial.
