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
