My wife and I run a Salon and I WANT to use InDinero... but it really seems like it's focused on super-small businesses. Is there value for a $500k+ revenue 12+ employee business that I'm missing? I'm not super happy with LessAccounting, but I still want to keep track of per-employee revenue and payouts and what not :\

Have you tried Quickbooks? If so, what did you like or did not like about it?

I've definitely tried quickbooks and it is a bloated, feature-ridden, trainwreck that requires weeks of training. Doing simple things like setting up categories and viewing transactions become ridiculously difficult and time consuming.

I like lessaccounting because it has some of the features we need, but it's really setup for invoice-based businesses which we are not. As such, there's no way to track things like... credit card payments that a merchant fulfills in May but were actually run against expenses in the end of April.

Have you tried using the tags in LessAccounting? They should allow you to do exactly what you want.
