I use GNUcash for business too, but use git as storage/sync instead.

Also a simple fast tool with some handy little reports and graphs is http://homebank.free.fr/en/ We still use this for our personal finances.

How do you find GNUcash? I looked at it awhile back and found the UI so antiquated compared to modern tools, but I'd prefer something different than the commercial provider I'm using now.

Honestly, I suspect if you changed a few icons and made the default theme more blue and less green, it'd look a lot more modern.

Edit: or maybe a cool 'dark' themed version.

The UI may be antiquated but it does what it needs to without any lock-in, and you have control of your data. Plus you can do you accrual based accounting which just makes so much more sense (I may pay my car insurance premium once a year, but it is a monthly expense)
