[GNC] Is this a wacky idea?

[Glenn Fowler]

Hi,

Unless your accountant is familiar w/ GnuCash, they usually don't want to
learn another program.
However, you mentioned you give then your report on paper. Why not just get
them a PDF copy? You eliminate the physical copy and they don't have to
worry about loading GnuCash.
