Title says it all - looking to see if anyone knows of any apps or excel-on-steroids that does cost accounting, FIFO, and cost of goods sold calculations.

I'm looking for currently active market tools myself. The evelopedia just has a bunch of tools listed linking to the old forums and old threads that only contain dead links and no evidence to continuation or discontinuation of the tool...

Not exactly sure what you're looking for, but EveNexus accounts for broker fees and taxes. It also processes your bought and sold items in a FIFO ordering. Corporate API is however not supported (yet).

EMMA is still the only tool (that i'm aware of) that really tries to track individual items. I know of at least two other projects that started to try and do the same thing but none that were finished or even reported any progress beyond that.

The fact is, it's actually incredibly difficult to do right and most people seem to feel it's unneccessary. All that effort just to go from 95% right to 99% right so i can see why most programs go with 'good enough' approaches rather than 'best' (trust me, 100% right is impossible with the way Eve's inventory system works).

For the new version of EMMA that I'm currently working on, one of my key goals is to make it's item value tracking much better and more complete. That's a long way off though.
