JT,

   Good to know; many boutiques need management consultants.

   But, there is SL.

   Well, we're nowhere near that size, but SL works for any company of 1+
employees. Set up your services and normal expenses as inventory items,
create projects for each client/project, use the timecard capabilities, and
go to town. SL will generate invoices for you, add them to A/R when posted,
and handle the A/P and G/L functions, too.

   There's no payroll (as far as I know), and many companies contract that to
a dedicated payroll firm or have their accountant handle it.

   Go set up SL and ask your questions here. As far as this capability is
concerned, size does _not_ matter.
