Linux Weekly News has reviewed accounting packages in the past and may
be a good place to start. (Be sure to read the comments as well as the
base articles.) Note that if your friend has an accountant they work with,
that accountant may put limitations on the software. That is an area where
there is not much compatibility and you don't always have much of a choice
in software if you are working with a particular accountant.
