You might take a look at gnucash (www.gnucash.org).  We are focusing
mainly on the personal-finance side of things, but we have a
significant amount of infrastructure in place for dealing with the
generation and display of financial reports in Guile.  Our default
storage backend is a simple single-user affair, but there is prototype
code working to use Postgres instead, and Linas Vepstas has already
written the C code to convert our abstract "financial engine" queries
to SQL.

Most of the interesting work is only in the development version, which
you can get from our CVS server (cvs.gnucash.org ; instructions on the
www.gnucash.org pages).  We have a fairly active development mailing
list and welcome new developers/collaborators.
