Simplifying

I recently purchased an application called Billings to take over my outdated system of sending manually-generated PDF invoices and estimates. Oh, has it been a time-saver. I've avoided products like Quickbooks, as they seem to be overly expensive and have too many options. So I began my search for something simple, customizable and Mac-friendly. So far, Billings has been worth every penny of its $40 price tag. I was able to import my contacts and create custom templates for my invoices, etc. It also eliminates the need for me to keep a separate spreadsheet of my outgoing invoices—what a pain that's been with my growing client list!

If you're looking for an easy way to keep track of your projects (and you're on a Mac), I highly recommend Billings. It even won an Apple Design Award last year. There's also a Billings app for the iPhone—I can sync the info from my computer so I'll always know who owes me $$ :-)
