... with specific requirements in mind?

Most important:

  • multiple users (up to 5)
  • inventory tracking
  • faster than QuickBooks

Of lesser importance but still, required:

  • customizable forms (invoices etc.)
  • unlimited estimates per customer
  • ability to email invoices, estimates, purchase orders, etc.
  • "assisted" payroll (the one that does all the filings)
  • not much more expensive that QuickBooks

Known "usual suspects":

  • NetSuite: way more expensive
  • MYOB, PeachTree, etc.: not faster than QuickBooks

Any ideas? :)

You might take a glance at ManageMore from Intellisoft. I have several clients who really like the integrated module approach (sort of like SAP Business One, only more affordable and easier to use).

Have you tried looking into GnuCash? http://www.gnucash.org/

It may not have the needed number of users you stated, but that is something that could be written in easily enough.
