That’s a setting in outlook

While I take your point, I often see people who don't really understand accounting avoid the topic entirely by fully outsourcing the preparation of their financial statements. This often leads to disaster because I've noticed that if you're not really on top of your outsourced service provider, they get sloppy/lazy and make lots of mistakes.

Such a great product:

+ Free

+ Cross platform

+ You own/control your data

+ extremely flexible

+ true double entry (unlike mint etc)

+ great for an individual power user or keeping very simple corporate books

- a little longer to pull financial data as you need to download CSV files etc from each financial institution

- some reports can be a bit clunky/annoying to customize

- Not sure i would use this for a complicated business with lots of employees or huge volumes of transactions

I was told that a while back Bulgari (and probably some other high-end jewelers) operated one of the largest illicit money transfer networks - primarily for bribery.

Want to bribe a public official? Give his wife a $100k bracelet, and mention that it can be returned anywhere in the world for CASH (less a 10% “restocking fee” of course). Then you might mention how nice it would be to spend a weekend in Geneva - and coincidentally there is a branch of that jeweler just down the street from some very discreet Swiss bankers (back when they were discreet)...
