A CPA can be an all-around professional business adviser and an asset for any business. An accountant - anyone who knows the basics of a double entry DR/CR system. In all cases, the levels of professionalism and expertise can vary widely.

CAUTION: don't fall into a marketing trap thinking that buying an accounting software, as a non-accounting business owner, will by default make your business have proper accounting. If you bought a set of power tools from Home Depot today, would you be able to build a real home with the knowledge and time availability you currently have while running your core business? Probably not... Accounting tools like QuickBooks, Xero, and the others, are just power tools, you still need accounting expertise to have proper accounting. QBO is our choice for the clients as it is easy to setup, use and affordable for most startups and new small businesses. If a business can't afford to hire an accountant, my CPA advice to such business owners is to focus on their sales and top-line revenue first. If they have no revenue, accounting is the least of their worries, as they're at risk of going out of business!

CPAs and staff cannot possibly care about clients' accounting and tax issues more than the clients themselves. The clients are partners in the engagement and should equally participate. You have to clearly communicate that to your clients on day 1. And it helps to have a clause in the EL, that any non-compliance with the data request deadlines will trigger additional fees. ... Also, agree with many commenters here, the bad clients will weed themselves out naturally if you have the proper onboarding process.
Because more often than not, if you have a non-expert do your accounting, eventually you will need to have an expert fix it, but then it will cost you 4-times as much, not even mentioning the tax penalties and implications. Do it right the first time! Yes, you will pay a bit more, but you will...

Do it right the first time! Yes, you will pay a bit more, but you will get a lot more than you're paying for too.

I think someone has already mentioned Oracle's NetSuite, but I'd also look into Microsoft Dynamics. Once you outgrow QuickBooks, this is the time to consider having a captive accoutning/finance department. GL!
