Capabilities: - Import a set of accounts (these should be exported from a valid GnuCash instance; `File > Export > Export Account Tree to CSV...`) - Create transactions in GnuCash-compatible, double-bookkeeping fashion. - Export said transactions for import into a standalone GnuCash instance (`File > Import > Import Transactions from CSV...`). Use the "GnuCash Export Format". - Set favorite debit and credit accounts for pre-populating transaction fields.
