Searching for such is country specific and what your company's CFO and others research and select. You'll discover that what you may call as best may be dismissed by your C suite staff.

For OP and Dani. Long ago I worked with developers on a very big accounting system that was not cloud based but it was at the time one of the big systems out there. I like Dani's answer for an accounting app that will likely work for most small companies without issue. But then again as I worked for another company with US and Canada (now in England as well) they had to use 2 accounting systems due to differences in each country's accounting laws and currency.
As you get into really big accounting, you invaribly have to consider Oracle's cloud systems. That was what I had exposure to with another very large multi-national company.
