I've used Quicken and Quick Books. With both, I've found myself simultaneously limited by the inflexibility and shortcomings of the applications, and overwhelmed at the complexity and obtuseness. Personally, I'd love to find a small business accounting system that's not aimed at the MBA//Accountant market, and is flexible enough for different types of companies.
There's a huge market for it, but nailing it seems to be an issue for everyone. I'd advise not to try solving everyone's problem, or you'll be another Quicken!
I'd love to hear more about this... make sure you keep hacker news posted!

That's exactly the problem I'm solving.
Glad to hear there's a market for it.

Yeah, I'm curious what you're doing. I've tried all sorts of things, and ended up settling on an excel spreadsheet :(
