Try to avoid Intuit (Quicken/Quickbooks). They have a monopoly, and it is unfair.

I tried for a bit to compete with them, but the banks are complicit and it is impossible to provide proper account import functionality with the way things are now.

That said, try Less Accounting (http://lessaccounting.com/) or Harvest.

Some people care much more about efficiency than your perception of fairness. For them, Quickbooks is a pretty clear answer.

Ability to just hand it over to your accountant is a must.

+1 for Harvest. I'm very fond of their service. I'm using them despite the fact that I also have Quickbooks for accounting.
