Hi John

I use Billings2 on Mac.

You can create custom invoice templates run all sorts of reports to =20
keep track of timings and costs.

Its not a full blown accounts program that keeps track of outgoings =20
etc, but its works for me as far as invoicing and keeping track of =20
who owes me what and what costs I have spent on jobs, and its cheap.

regards
Malcolm
