Hmm, good question.

GTK support in gambas is incomplete if compared to QT - especially the 
printer interface which works well in QT and it seems to lack in GTK. 
There are other widgets missing in GTK, and probably more quirks.

Being your a financial program, I would go with QT.

Anyway, you can change the graphic back-end without touching a single 
line of code, if you plan with care. Once your project has been created, 
you can go in the Project/Components tab and substitute QT with GTK. You 
can also use the switcher component instead: this component uses QT if 
running in a KDE environment, otherwise GTK. This would render the 
application more portable. So start your project with QT and, at times, 
try to switch to GTK forth and back (especially when adding complex 
widgets).
