I think Tryton could be a good choice according to your requirement. But you did not say in which country you are going to do your accounting? You will need to encode yourself the account chart (if you got some programming knowledge, you could make it with a module [1]). Also you will need some good knowledge of the accounting rules of your country if you want to do all the accounting in Tryton. But don't expect to have a "click and run" solution with Tryton, it is a framework that could need some learning or customization to use it. If you need some help, you could find some companies that propose support to implement Tryton [2].
