I may need to look at it again. The last time I did, though, it was too
complex for the non accountant.

What I have been working on is an interface for just the stuff we need, in
such a way that almost anyone can go in and do the things that they are
supposed to be able to do without having to know a ton about accounting.
Things like create an invoice, enter a manual payment, enter a vendor
invoice or payment, or process payroll.

The last part is mostly automatic, since we are currently using a local
third party payroll company, but it would be nice to someday be able to not
rely on an external entity for payroll purposes.

The rest, though, needs to be able to be done by everyday people without
deep accounting knowledge. The system should hold the accounting knowledge,
the people should just have to do the work. :-)
