Aloha everyone,

I used ledger in emacs (with babel) for many years managing
the finances of two small non-profits. It did require learning
a few things but so does org-mode.

That's not to say that one size fits all, but ledger for me
took a lot of the work out of things, and once you learn how
to do it, double entry bookkeeping really makes financial
management easier.

I'm not saying that custom org-mode code is the "wrong" way to
go; the right way to go is whatever works for you, even if
that's (oh my) a single-entry Excel spreadsheet.

But my take is that once you learn ledger, and especially when
you integrate it into Emacs, you'll be sold.
