I'm currently looking for an accounting software too and made many researchs.
One of the best choice available as a truly open-source project is SQL-Ledger:
An accounting software needs to be customized for each country because of the various laws, and it looks like SQL Ledger has enough users to be usable in many countries (it's well localized). I'm not sure that Quasar meets that point. Furthermore it's a web-based application which allows you to give access to your "auditor"... the software lacks a bit of documentation but the author sells its own documentation/support as a way to earn money.
Sql Ledger also misses the payroll feature however.

Wow, this looks to be much more comprehensive an application than Quasar. I'm not an accountant, but I like the many glowing references on the References page, and I like the conversion tools available to help users move from Quickboks and GnuCash over to SQL-Ledger. I'm looking forward to comparative articles between these two applications - hopefully done by an internationally-focused CPA.
