I recently moved my bookkeeping for these from a combination of Sharepoint (seriously) and SSRS and Excel in to <a href="http://gnucash.org">Gnucash</a>. I had been looking for a decent free app for a while and whilst there are some interesting cloud options (in fact there are a million options) I stumbled across Gnucash - a nice looking open source, cross-platform tool that would work on my Mac (without X11) and decided to go for it.</p>
