If you are dreaming of a situation in which LedgerSMB is used *and
customized* by "average" office workers, I'd say LaTeX is the least of
your worries.

Realistically, installing and customizing LedgerSMB is currently done
by Linux and FOSS geeks, and I don't see that changing any time soon.
So I would say it's best to use the best tools for the job, and LaTeX
is about the best there is for generating printed output.

How many people have asked for that?  (Just curious.)
