Our company is using ProfitWise by Solomon Accounting Software.
This is not a Windows package, but it runs quite well under 
Windows.  The package is a full blown accounting system and
requires some time to setup and learn.  Once I got passed the
learning curve, this package has been quite easy to use and 
handles everything (invoicing, job costing, payroll, AR/AP,
general ledger, and inventory).  I use the invoicing, payroll,
accounts receivable, and general ledeger.  Everything is well
integrated, and fault tolerant.  The price is about $150 mail
order.  They also have an upgrade version for large businesses
called Solomon.  This package came recommended by our accountant,
and is really oriented toward an account/book-keeper.  It prints
all the quarterly and annual tax reports.  Like I said, the
learning curve is steep (I had no accounting background), but the
package does everything, and the price is reasonable.  Most 
importantly, the package provides a fully auditable book-keeping
system.  I looked and MYOB and several other packages, but they 
just didn't stack up with the features and reporting facillities.

Good Luck.
