Re: [OCLUG-Tech] Accounting help needed

My Mom used to be an accountant, she is sort of retired now.

I'm not sure about her time, and also she would not be as web savvy as many
on this list, especially with open source software/ linux (but she would
know her away around the windows software that she's used before for work).

I think my mother was looking for some kind of low-commitment work for some
extra income, but my parents are travelling for a couple months at the end
of June, which might provide some challenges (although she has a win7
laptop and they will probably find places with internet access).

I will share this with her, although it seems there is already some
interest being shown on this thread.
