Self-Employed Time/Billing Manager. Every self-employed person where time is important needs a billing manager. Quickbooks can help you here too, but Quickbooks is a lot more bulky than many people need. With iBiz you create a client, create individual projects for those clients and then have specific tasks for each project. With each project you can assign flat rates, hourly rates, mark-up percentages and more. iBiz also has an invoice setup function where you can create your own invoice design. When you are done with a project, click the create invoice button and an invoice will be generated using your invoice template. iBiz also has timers for when you are doing paperwork, phone calls, or anything else that requires documented time. Simple, yet very powerful, iBiz is great for those people who don't want to work in a large program like Quickbooks, but still need similar features. Download the Demo!

Business Finance Software. Most of the industry uses Quickbooks for managing their business finances, but Quickbooks isn't the best. The company that made Quickbooks actually abandoned the Mac for a few years. That doesn't work for me. With AccountEdge, you get an application that has been on the Mac for a while now and an interface that is tons easier to use than Quickbooks, along with some very fresh features. Plus, if your accountant doestn't have AccountEdge, the company will send them a free copy! Account Edge includes features like: 100 Business Templates, Checkbook Register, Customizable Quotes/Orders/Invoices, POs, Receivables/Payables, Integrated Payroll, Inventory Management, Contact Management, Time Billing, Customizable Reports, Job Costing, Purchases/Payables, Credit Card Processing & more.
