My largest issue is time tracking, I probably average 4-6 time inputs per day. The number of CATEGORIES is probably 10-15 at most. As a non-CPA guy, I always wondered why Quickbooks departed from typical accounting jargon. 

I probably should look at some Excel apps to help, but I tend to want to understand what the Great Oz is doing behind the curtain, and so I may just create my own. I can probably use Quicken to keep my CPA happy on one side, I may have to start running parallel bookkeeping scenarios next year and see if they match.
