I'm an accountant/auditor now as my full time job and personally GnuCash if you manipulate it or Kmymoney is very good. I say this because as an accountant it is pretty easy to set up. I'm not to sure what German Law has to abide but if it's documenting who has donated etc. then there is a notes section in both those software packages. Other packages which include a whole range of different things such as PHP CRM packages which have components for accounting and things like that. It's going to take a bit to set up, if you are going to purchase software well you are going to be paying for the software and also for the setting up. Any help that you want give me a yell offlist but I've had a good look at some of the packages around. Also actual knowledge of Gnucash apart from basic know how there is a guy on IRC who uses it for his business. Have a chat to him his IRC nick is "Southern Gentlemen" Cheers, Marc -- Fedora-marketing-list mailing list Fedora-marketing-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-marketing-list
