Any good accounting software?

I am currently using Quickbooks for another business but not using it for my ecommerce retail music book business. I'm tracking everything manually at this point but am trying to make a decision on accounting software and the inventory aspect is my main area of concern. It seems that Quickbooks' lack of costing methodolgies (uses average cost only rather than LIFO/FIFO options) is a serious drawback since our product costs do fluctuate from time to time. In my research of Peachtree, I see that it is more flexible and allows other cost methodologies. Can anyone else share your experience in regard to this issue tell me about any other accounting software that you might recommend for a small retail business? Thanks.

Peachtree has LIFO, FIFO, and Average Cost. They are a double entry accounting software company which means at the end of the day your accountant should have very little work to do unless you really mess up the books.

Depending on how sophisticated your estore is you could convert to their web store and have it fully integrated.

Peachtree's web store is not very customizable but you could use your website as the front end and then use them as the actual estore. They also have credit card company on the back end of the estore if needed.
