I am in the market for a good small-business accounting package that
will handle payroll, general ledger, and accounts payable, with
flexible reporting and automatic check writing.  The setting is a
not-for-profit organization with one part-time paid office staff member (an
administrator/secretary).  I am the (volunteer) treasurer, and 
I find after a year and a half that I have pushed Quicken to its
limits and beyond.

The two contenders
seem to be atOnce and Accountant.  The latter costs about 30% more
than the former.  Does anyone have any experience comparing the two
(or comparing to other accounting packages)?  I would like to set up a
system and then have it run by a non-accounting person (possibly a
volunteer).

I will summarize and post any email replies that I receive.
