Does anyone have experience switching from QuickBooks to GnuCash? I would like to move from QuickBooks self employed to something that doesn't require a subscription. Would this work well?

The value add for Quickbooks is they calculate payroll withholding based on the latest tax law -- which is probably not cost effective to continually do yourself.

However, where you aren't making payroll (household, a self employement, or a charitable foundation) then GNUCash shines.

I haven't done this myself, but GnuCash has importing [1] from .qif and .qfx and a few others.

Also check out integration [2] with OFX at your bank [3]
