I am not sure what response you get here because accounting is traditionally a non-hacker domain. In my own research, there is a huge need of a service like yours for the particular segment you are aiming for.

I have been offering SQL-Ledger (and its fork LedgerSMB; both open source) hosting, training, support, customization for many years. (See my info)

Though both packages are targeted to small to medium sized business, the biggest problem I find with new users is they always find it difficult to learn. This is mostly because of a large number of features even for smbs (and also because accounting software does require you have a basic understanding of accounting) And no one has time to read the fine manual.

I have been experimenting for the last few months by removing/rearranging menus, adding context sensitive help/tips, making it more user-friendly but still not satisfied with the results.

So yes I also want to target exact same segment (bare basics accounting system for freelancers, micro-isvs, and small businesses) but I need to do a lot of work/testing before doing that.
