I made Cheqbook with my accountant co-founder after he got sick of only being able to recommend Quickbooks Desktop for his clients. Most people still use accounting on desktops and still have to move the company files around by thumb drive or email.
We tried the other online solutions first but found they were not proper accounting tools. They didn't have necessary reports and double-entry books. In most cases, we had to fight with the UI to get anything done. Ultimately, we built this so accountants and bookkeepers could handle more clients and business owners could concentrate on their business.
As a dev: Not sure why the blog sidebar needs to be on every page, especially Pricing. Doesn't come off as "pro" and at first made fear that the entire app may have been built upon Wordpress (I see it's not though).
As a user: Love it, need it and will be trying it out myself!

I would love any feedback.

Good point. I will remove it tonight!

I know. We really wanted to build out our sales site in Rails, but that would have taken resources away from the app.
