Hello Eric,
I use beancoount (another text-based accounting software, very similar
to ledger) for accounting purposes and I am very happy with it. I use
org-mode for planning and management tasks or simply to compare quotes,
things better handled in a a spreadsheet table.
I think it is time to have a look at how org-tables can be extended to
handle monetary quantities.
Cheers,
Dan
