"use QuickBooks, learn how to do basic bookkeeping, and hire an accountant to check in and make sure you're doing everything right."
At the cost of locking your data into QuickBooks, sure. Just be on the watch for a "forced upgrade" every other year or so, with a different set of bugs for every new version.
There is no way to recover your data from QB. if you don't mind being locked into Intuit and paying them money every other year or so, go for it. But be aware of what you are getting into.
Due Discloure: I've worked for Intuit before and while I liked my coworkers and even my bosses, I know what the code looks like, how customer support operates and what their business practices are. There is no way in hell I would ever use Intuit software for any business of mine. So I am prejudiced, take my advice with appropriate doses of salt :-)
