Recommendation for invoicing software
Looking for recommendations for invoicing software. I have been using FileMaker forever. I need the ability to import my logo as part of the finished invoice. Any better suggestions out there? Simpler the better!

Wouldn't that depend upon your software that you use to tabulate your billing? What are you going to use to database with? Either you are looking for a billing system or an add on for your accounts payables. or whatever.
A lot of poeple use project software that tracks time per project and can then create an invoice.
You need to give more information.

I usually have set pricing for jobs so I just know the price and enter it on the invoice. One of my concerns is that right now my invoices print right onto some fancy letterhead that I had printed. Lately I have been getting requests for bills via e-mail and want to be able to print those out as pdf's with my logo and address.
I am all ears to your ideas sturner.
Thanks!

You should be able to include your logo in your FileMaker layout. You can easily place a pdf file in the layout you use for e-mail output. Just use Insert>Picture.

I haven't tried any of these but some have had good reviews (I believe Billable was in MacLife, might have been iBiz, can't remember). Been meaning to switch to something better and so far these are the options I have to try:
Billable
Billings
iBiz
LittleOffice
OnTheJob
Some track time too and I'm sure at least one allows you to customize your invoice template.
