I've been using beancount with a fava interface for my accountant. Worked out so far... But it wouldn't work if you need multiple people doing the books at once.

Does this configuration integrate with all of your other software for automated entry? Any gaps? Any particularly nice automation features you've discovered?

Beancount doesn't have built in support, you need a small bit of code. I set up my own importers, which required a small amount of configuration. It helps if you use a "bank" like Mercury that's living in this millennium, instead of a real bank which does not understand technology. But with a small Plaid or SnapTrade importer you can connect to any of those
