> Most people don't want to learn accounting tbh, not even that – they hate doing it.

How is it accounting tho? If anything it could be classified as tracking your income and expenses, but you would be doing that with a spreadsheet too.

I wrote about GnuCash a few years ago at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/using-gnucash-as-a-freelancer...

But there's a screenshot in there near the middle showing how I tally up costs for Netflix. It's pretty much exactly like a spreadsheet. In a way it's even easier than a spreadsheet because a lot of columns are auto-filled out for you like the dates and all of the totals get auto-calculated for you. It takes like 3 seconds to make a new entry.
