Look, I'm sorry, gnucash is a great help automating most of keeping 
double entry books, but you still have to learn the basics of double 
entry bookkeeping in order to use it effectively. Otherwise your ledger 
might be a shambles (messed up chart of accounts, aka CoA). Gnucash 
cannot tell you what accounts you should have in your CoA. You have to 
tell that to gnucash, and where they it in the CoA hierarchy.
