billing

I know we've postponed the panel discussion on project pricing, but I'm wondering what other freelancers are using for their accounting software?? I'm currently using LessAccounting, http://lessaccounting.com and so far I've been able to figure it out easily enough. My problem is, the invoices themselves are rather unattractive and they are not customizable.

I'm interested in web based solutions, but won't discount (sorry for the pun) software that runs locally. I'm 100% Linux based. What are you using to invoice clients?

Regards,

Mark

I would like to open up a discussion on retainers for drupal web developers. I started the conversation on drupal.org here: http://drupal.org/node/286539 and I would like to continue that here.

As a drupal consultant or as a client hiring drupal developers/designers/etc, what are your thoughts on retainers?

Hello there!
I don´t know how to use a simple Billing platform for student´s payments, where student´s can pay using personal checks, cash at the school´s office, or credit cards.
When a student uses ie. cash to pay, you should be able to enter to his profile and write that down somewhere, or maybe after some time of not fullfilling that payment slot the student could get an email with a reminder.
The ecomm module is far more complete and server heavy than this.
How did you guys solve this issue?
Thanks for your opinions!!!
