Again...repping my set.
Freshbooks sucks when it comes to flexibility and workflow.
Blinksale sucks when it comes to features and appearance.Cashboard is the answer to your problems, and it's also my baby.

you lost me at "repping your set" ..but if you care to elaborate a little more than just saying the other 2 "suck" i'd be willing to give it a shot.
what do you do better than freshbooks?
- brianbrooks0

@kerus, didn't feel like typing...so here's some commentary from one of my happy customers. maybe he can sell you on it.
...and i quote
"I’m a very happy user of Cashboard. I found Harvest and Freshbooks lacking in flexibility when it comes to estimating, and that’s not all. Cashboard is a joy to use, is rock solid reliable and available everywhere I happen to be. There are Mac OS X and Yahoo widgets for entering time, or you can do it quite easily through the web UI.
What makes it worth the monthly expense:
1. Clients are involved. They get to review and approve estimates online. They get to review and pay invoices online (they support credit cards if you have an Authorize.net account).
2. The system is constantly improving. They frequently add little improvements here and there than make life much better. They tweet about their ongoing development and keep us well informed about new and upcoming features. They are receptive to feedback but know when to say no so it doesn’t become too bloated.
3. Basecamp integration. ‘Nuff said.
Try it and you’ll never go back to a desktop application again."

yeh. I love freshbooks. So easy, I love being able to have them snail mail invoices to clients for me as well, and clients can pay online.

ive checked out a few things and so far it has the best options for someone like myself who is just started out.
note to sublocked: might not want to advertise yourself as a "hacker" in some of your profiles while trying to push accounting software. i liked your software but .. OH HELL NO

@kerus *shrug*
In coding circles "hacker" is a good thing. The dude who invented linux calls himself a "hacker". I think I'm good there.
Regardless, I come from a different background than all of the geeks making software. I'm proud of who I am and won't hide that on twitter, here, or anywhere else.
I've got thousands of customers who don't seem to mind, but thanks for the protip. :p

How do i add VAT????
- ********0
don't worry found it after half an hour... eek... the 'edit details' bit in the invoice needs to be clearer so you know where to assign VAT
- any design suggestions that don't clutter the default ui there are welcome.sublocked
