I'm on a Mac also, and thankfully haven't had to worry about this for the last few years :) And yeah, I've never met an accountant on Windows.

I'm OS agnostic, I prefer to use what I think is the best solution for the problem. With that in mind, it might be worthwhile to look into a windows machine to run QB. You can rdesktop to it (there is a great rdesktop app for the Mac), and when you get to the point of having a part-time accounting person come in, the PC will already be all set up for their use. This is what I did in the past (dedicated low-end PC for "hosting" QB).

I think there's a lot more mileage in running Windows under VMWare Fusion or Parallels, than in having an entire machine dedicated to doing nothing but running Quickbooks.

Might help the balance sheet out... :)
