What kinds of ERP do you want out of it? QB does an amazing amount of 
stuff and is great for keeping the books on a small business. My main 
beef with it is that it's cluttered up with endless offers for ancillary 
Intuit services (and The World's Slowest Browser). Other than that it's 
great for tracking all income/expense items, reporting on them, doing 
tax forecasting, even keeping inventory. Bill of materials and supply 
chain management - well probably not...but not many people need that in 
a 1-2 person biz.
