Mainly because I am NOT an accountant, or book keeper.  I am a computer 
consultant/programmer/network engineer.  I did try to do my books myself, but 
I've come to the realization, I do not know the "right" way to do it, nor 
have the time to learn it on my own.  But, I do like SL, and the time card 
system (which is perfect for my business), and can use SL- once I've had an 
experienced accountant/book-keeper help get me started the "right" way, and 
to understand the accounting concepts/procedures.  In the mean time, I have 
last year's books that are in varying states of entry - which I again do not 
have time to do myself (I'm expecting the tax hit, but it won't be too bad).  
So I'm also interested in a bookkeeper who can take care of this part for me, 
and an accountant to help get the most out of my taxes.  (though I do 
understand the accountant in this case does not need to know SL).  The best 
possible outcome would be to find a single accountant who could handle these 
roles for me.

LOL.. I think the real telling point is that I had to read your first 
paragraph 3 times before I understood what you were saying.  Not due to 
language or accent issues, but due to the fact that I have only a very very 
vague idea what GIFI is and how it releates to my books.  (and yes, my books 
have been set up with the Canadian tables.. That was easy as I have a 
thorough understanding of databases.  <grins>)

I'm still looking though, any leads would be appreciated - off list though.
