So it is that time again to either fork over another wad of cash to the good people at Quickbooks or find another solution. I am hoping somebody knows of an alternative billing solution for somebody that needs to send and track invoices and expenses and the occasional profit/loss snapshot but not a whole lot more.

My 3 main beefs with the last version I bought probably 3 years ago are.

1) there was very little ability to make adjustments to the invoice layout outside of a few very narrow presets, which made it hard if I needed to accommodate a large project code.

2) The fact that it could not be integrated with other devices such as tablets or phones.

3) lastly the fact that I feel it is overly complicated for what most of us do, great if you are doing book keeping at a major business but not really designed for freelancers…
