Invoicing is a fact of any freelancer’s life. With all of the “glamour” that comes from being self-employed and working with companies on a freelance basis comes the joy that is invoicing, often involving tracking time and logging it carefully.

T:metrack (which, for the sake of my fingers, is going to become Timetrack for this review) is an invoicing solution designed to help you focus less on your invoicing and more on creating excellent stuff.

The world of web apps is over-saturated with project management apps. It often seems like the only new apps you hear about are new project management, time tracking, or invoicing apps. There’s only so many ways you can design an app for the same purpose, and so many project managers look like they were copied right from 37signals playbook. Then, the features different project management tools include vary widely, and they’re often designed more for large teams than freelancers.

Solo is a fresh new entry into the project management field that uses a drastically different approach. It’s a fully unique design, with modern, beautiful typography and charts that make the important parts of your work stand out. Plus, it’s designed from the ground-up for freelancers, so you won’t feel out of place working without other employees. Keep reading to see our review of Solo, and get a chance to win one of 5 year subscriptions for Solo!

One of the best things about web apps is that you can run them from any computer. Many PC users wish they could run popular Mac apps in Windows, while Mac users for years wished they could run PC games on OS X. Linux users are often left in the cold entirely with commercial software. But if you’ve come across a brilliant new web app, you won’t have to worry whether or not it’ll work on your computer. All you need is a modern browser and an internet connection, and you’re ready to go.

Billings is a popular invoicing app for Macs, one that’s nice enough that I used to wish I could run it on my PC. It’s still a fully OS X app, but now, you can use a companion web app to manage your team, track time on work, and record expenses from any browser. It’s an interesting synergy that tries to balance the flexibility of web apps with the style and features of a native Mac app, while letting you host the web app yourself or use their cloud service to save you the trouble.

Efficient accounting is the backbone of any successful business – only when money is flowing in and out of the system smoothly can you rest assured that your hard work is actually paying off. A large part of this is invoicing, which typically refers to sending estimates and quotes, billing clients and customers and keeping track of their approval/payment status. Whether you’re a freelancer, small business owner or CFO of a large enterprise, you need your company’s billing and book-keeping mechanisms to work well and that’s why it’s important to choose an invoicing system carefully.

There are a number of invoicing apps available online, with different feature sets and price points. TradeShift takes a different approach and aims to bring together your business network and invoicing all in one place, while offering options for customization and expansion of features. It’s also completely free. Sound like something you’d be interested in? Let’s sign up and find out.

Whether you’re a freelance designer or a developer running a new startup, there’s one thing that’s always frustrating: billing. Sending out invoices and making sure their paid on time can be one of the more irritating tasks, especially when you’d rather be designing or coding an awesome new web app.

Blinksale is one of the most popular invoicing web apps. Unlike most invoicing apps, they only have one flat fee for unlimited invoices to unlimited clients. Then, with their new Blinkpay service, you can accept credit card payments directly without having to use PayPal or other payment systems. Just create your invoices, and Blinksale can take care of the rest.

Sometimes it seems like it can be more difficult to run the business end of a job than to actually do the job. Keeping up with your expenses, rates and services, clients, and invoices can be a full time job in itself. The good news is, there are many great apps that can help you keep track of your invoices and the info you need for them, so you won’t have to worry about it.

One great invoicing app we’ve reviewed is Invoicera. Invoicera lets you bring your clients, services, products, and more together in a simple invoicing app, so you’ll spend less time billing and more time getting your work done. It’s a handy tool for freelancers and businesses of any size.

One of Invoicera’s best benefits is its reasonable prices for the hosted application, so you can scale your account as your business grows. Or, if you’d rather keep your invoicing data on your own servers, Invoicera recently launched a new self-hosted version of Invoicera. This lets you take advantage of Invoicera’s app while still keeping your billing data internal.

Best of all, we’ve got 5 free 6 month Invoicera Business accounts to giveaway to our readers. With this, you’ll be able to create unlimited invoices for unlimited clients with up to 4 other people in your team. To enter the giveaway, just leave a comment below and let us know how you’d put an Invoicera account to use in your business. The contest will close at midnight CST on Tuesday, June 21, 2011, so make sure to get your comment in quickly!
