Amigavision (AV) would perhaps be a slightly strange vehicle for such
an application at first sight, (as it is primarily a multimedia authoring
system) however on further investigation it might suit your needs. 

AV has a database editor which is very easy to use and which has
a file format which is compatible with other database packages
such as Superbase. 

There is an example of how one would build a simple database
application on the Amigavision tutorial disk. I have used the 
database myself and have been quite pleased with it. I have founhd
AREXX rather harder to get into than AV. Moreover you could easily 
add crazy sound effects to indicate interesting accounting phenomena
due to the multimedia capabilities :-)
