Glenn Tyndall for About.com writes: The future of small business software is in cloud computing,
and this fact is no different for small business accounting software.
Dan Wernikoff, senior vice president and general manager of Intuit’s
Financial Management Solutions division, said that QuickBooks Online products are growing at a rate of 28% per year, according to an August 2012 press release from Intuit.
Given the rising popularity of cloud computing applications, we have
identified the top 5 small business accounting software programs for
you.
#5 Monchilla
Monchilla is a online accounting software that lets you track
revenues, expenses, and payroll. Monchilla lets you estimate your
revenue and expenses by entering recurring invoices and estimates, which
is its defining feature that makes it different than other small
business accounting software applications. Monchilla does not come with a
lot of other features and capabilities, so it is probably a good choice
for freelances, independent contractors, or small service-based
businesses with limited accounting needs.
#4 Intacct
Intacct has a suite of financial management applications for various
accounting functions, including inventory management, vendor management,
and financial reporting. Intacct has more than 7,000 customers and does
offer a free trial for new users so they can try the software before
they use it. Intacct also lets you customize your dashboard so you can
quickly access information and reports that you need on a daily basis to
help save you time.
#3 FinancialForce.com
FinancialForce.com is a sister software developed by the makers
of SalesForce.com. FinancialForce.com is a full-fledged accounting
software application, but it is designed to be integrated with the sales
and customer management features of SalesForce.com. Small business
owners who are in saes-oriented business, the ability to integrate their
accounting and customer management software seamlessly may be of
interest.
#2 Freshbooks
Freshbooks includes accounting software modules for tracking
revenues, expenses, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and employee
hours. FreshBooks is not as popular as QuickBooks Online, but it does
have more than 5 million users, including more than 1,500 professional
accountants. FreshBooks is a good choice for small business owners who
are on the go and want to access their accounting software on their
mobile devices because FreshBooks comes with mobile applications for
Apple iOS as well as other smart phone and table operating systems.
#1 QuickBooks Online
QuickBooks Online is perhaps the leader in the small business
cloud accounting software marketplace. You probably are not surprised by
that as a small business owner since you have probably found that
QuickBooks products tend to dominate the small business accounting
software market. As with the traditional desktop versions, QuickBooks
Online is easy-to-use and has same look and feel as the other versions
of QuickBooks. If you have used any QuickBooks product, then the
transition to this QuickBooks Online should be an easy one because you
will only be accessing the software on a different platform – that is,
an online one.

Freshbooks isn't truly "accounting software", it doesn't include all the features that you need to have to be "accounting software". It is invoicing software, with some nice features.
