[GNC] Debit/Credit

[Brian Burns]

Thanks for that info!
He’s been doing all his accounting (personal and 2 LLCs) in spreadsheets he
created. Formulas everywhere as long as your arm. He’s the only one who
understands how they work.
I’ve managed to get the simpler LLC setup in gnucash for him to learn from.
Maybe come next year I can get him to give up those spreadsheets :)
