Have a look at First Office (http://www.hansaworld.com). You can start off as a ‘soho’ user, move up to 4 persons with stock control and CRM, and then migrate your data across to an Enterprise version when required.
Let me know if you need advice on setting it up.

I am in the same boat, having used MYOB before, I am not a lover, there is the opensource GNUCash which I may try…eek but the horrible interface.
Where is the incredible looking and intuitive mac accounts package…easy to use and understand especially if you are just setting up in business???

I have to say: stay away from MultiLedger. We’ve been using it here for the family real estate business for ten years. Our bookkeeper still doesn’t understand it. Their Version 7 upgrade was so incompletely QAed that if you saved account files on a file server — not a wild idea, right? — it would corrupt the files permanently. ML has an incoherent user interface, poor data management, and no compatibility between versions. On the plus side, not many people use it. I guess I get your concerns about Inuit, but I’d start with QB. At least it has a large user base and active ongoing development.

In all fairness, I should say that I have heard that if you have problems with MultiLedger they are very patient with their phone support.
