I work as an independent consultant while going back to school and keeping track of my customers, time sheets, projects, hours, invoices, and rates is a daunting task. That’s why I’m so glad I found Bamboo Invoice. While evaluating various other fee-based online applications (invoiceIt, etc.) that can generate invoices, I stumbled upon the Bamboo Invoice system. It is more comprehensive and offers more standard features than most of the fee-based solutions out there. Best of all, it’s completely free.
Created by Derek Allard, here are the top 10 reasons why Bamboo Invoice is awesome:
- It’s free.
- It’s a 5 minute install on any web server running PHP & MySQL.
- It allows you to create beautiful professional looking invoices quickly.
- It allows you to export your invoices in PDF.
- It allows you to store and reconcile existing invoices.
- It allows you to generate reports on invoice totals.
- It allows you to print invoices directly from the system.
- It allows you to manage your customers.
- It keeps your invoices private with user accounts.
- It allows you to email invoices directly from the system.

This project is dead, it is another project that has been neglected under the excuse there is no time, the math in the program is not right, time always seems to be an excuse when someone reaches their level of understanding. Don’t waste your time on this product, free doesn’t have to mean it doesn’t work.
