Hi,
OpenERP is a good alternative. It can be used not only for invoicing and tracking expenses, but also for accounts, inventory management, CRM, POS etc. You can start with minimalistic approach installing bare minimum modules initially and later expand the scope, if needed.
The solution can be availed on SaaS basis also these days.

Actually the company I work for released an open source billing option that's much like freshbooks. It's not feature complete yet, but the essentials are already there--you can create and send invoices, receive and post payments, and run a collection of reports. It's only going to get better from here on out.
You can play with the online demo or download, install, use it... without paying a thing--the beauty of open souce :)
I'm not sure of the rules about linkage here (I just got here and saw this post) but it's opensourcebilling dot org -- there's screenshots and links to the demo and download on the website.
I agree with Gorav.Many people have advised me about OpenERP.I think I will try it for my business.
You can run it over local server as well, if you have the technical know-how.
Reliable web servers are not free - True.
We are providing hosted instance of OpenERP for $36/month or $360/year. So far our customers are happy with the services. Reviews can be seen at this link.
Well done, Gorav, for coming back quickly with a sensible and courteous response! That is the very best way to build credibility with our members who might become your customers.
If we run OpenERP on our local server, aren't we likely to have problems when communicating over the internet for sending invoices and seeing payments via Paypal?
Your company is in India. Will all of your support team speak English as well as you do?
If we run OpenERP on your hosted server, how do we know that your firm will be viable for years to come?
Static IP and proper firewall rules will be able to take care of these concerns. However, email gateway can be configured to work even with SMTP authentication.
Our staff is well-trained and capable of delivering. End of the day, we deliver what our customers need. In terms of communication skills, we do groom our staff and take utmost care that resources interfacing with customers are fluent in English. We do support our customers over skype chat and voice, no complaints so far.Quote:

We are in business from 2007 onwards. We have customers across India and overseas as well. Some of our customers are doing multi-Million Dollar turnover per annum. List of some of our customers is given on our webiste. Hence, we are not quitting the business, at least not any time soon ;) Still, worst case scenario, if for some reason we were to close our business, customers always have the option of taking backup of the hosted instance and run it elsewhere. Hope that helps.Quote:

I was out of town and enjoying quiet time without the internet--sorry I missed your reply.
You can install Open Source Billing locally as well, but it's not currently feature complete... so there will be changes as the software advances. We basically created the software for ourselves. We have multiple vertical companies that have different branding, etc--so when using both Quickbooks online and Freshbooks, they required us to purchase multiple subscriptions. It was getting to be a very expensive endeavor, so we created something that would meet our needs. We made it open source, so others can use it and bend it to meet their needs as well.
Yes, we use the invoicing facility within our Sage Accounting software. That seems to do the job.
There are many free invoicing software available.
You can easily download and install it.

Give Nutcache a go - it's free and is a good all rounder for invoicing, accounting, and time tracking. It's also multilingual, so if you work with clients overseas (or even clients with a different native language), you can change their templates to suit their tastes.
It takes a lot of the little jobs out of my day, which frees me up a little more for the million other things you have to manage as a small business owner!!

If he's not computer savvy, your best bet is to get one of the off-the-shelf programs like QuickBooks. At least then he can easily call tech support without calling YOU when he has a problem
Did you take look on Software Suggest or Capterra or Software Advice? They do have comparisions of these and the features being highlighted.
I've been using Billings, from Market Circle, for almost two years now; Pretty straightforward, and I appreciate its simplicity, as at the time it was my first time working as an independent contractor.
Agree with Kevin. Before selecting an invoicing software for your business, you should compare these on the basis of requirements, features, pricing, location, support etc. Here is an infographic that compare different cloud accounting software for invoicing.
I would use Quickbooks. It is a standard software. It is easy to get help with it.
I am a bookkeeper and using SlickPie for invoicing in the cloud. It's free & fast.
If you use an CRM software it will help you in invoicing too. I am using Apptivo CRM software for my small business. It can help you to develop and grow your small business.
Try using other CRM software like Zoho too. I found Apptivo has good customer satisfaction.
A CRM software can solve the issues. If you are using an CRM software it would have Invoice app , Project management App which you could use it for small business. Instead of using only Invoice software.
If you are looking forward for Invoicing software or ERP/CRM software's then eNvent Software Technologies are the best in this field.

Invoice software is used to send a statement of amount paid by the customer for services offered by organizing. It helps to solve a many business finance problem. Provide Invoice in a right time, then amounts transferred in before the due date.
I am working in software company, we manage many clients they need different services. Based on the services we provided through that generate an invoice and send an invoice to our clients. If same services offered to clients in a certain time period set a recurring Invoice, it automatically sends Invoice.
There are many business tools you can opt for, some of them are free or some paid. For quick invoices management one should need a effective tool. The two other tools that really effective in comparison to freshbooks to use and host are QuickBooks hosting and XERO. Basically QuickBooks Online users praise the system’s quick reporting capabilities.
You can find a lot of free invoicing software tools online but you run the risk of bugs and not being able to use the software solutions to their full potential. Other software tools like BillQuick software, which is a time Tracking, Billing and Accounting SaaS solution can fully help your business scale and while you manage your clients with ease.
