Billing and Invoicing software Sep 21, 2016

Hello Yves,

When I was looking around for Billing & Invoicing software in French I was able to download a free trial of EBP, Ciel, and another one (that I can't remember) so I could try them out for myself for 30 days or so. In the end, I decided on EBP, simply because I liked the interface and was able to perform pretty much any task I could think of with ease (in other words without going through thousands of menus).

Hello Yves,

When I was looking around for Billing & Invoicing software in French I was able to download a free trial of EBP, Ciel, and another one (that I can't remember) so I could try them out for myself for 30 days or so. In the end, I decided on EBP, simply because I liked the interface and was able to perform pretty much any task I could think of with ease (in other words without going through thousands of menus). I also liked the way I could come up with my own template for invoices so that I could incorporate my logo & "business" colours, keep track of my expenses as well as any invoices that clients have "forgotten" to pay. Since I do my accounts myself because I am an AE, it does cut down the time spent on paperwork because it is all there.
I guess in the end it is up to you to decide which software suits you best, so I suggest you give the trial versions a go to make your choice.

Good luck!

Kelly

PS Yves, in reply to your message which I deleted by mistake, "to give something a go" means to test or try it

I use Translation Office 3000 for business management (quoting/scheduling/billing) and basic accounting, but I have an accountant who deals with the real accounting part, so I don't know how efficient it is in this area.
Its interface is translated in various languages, including FR I think.
But if you need a proper accounting tool and no job/rate/discount grid/file/FTP/service management utility, then TO300 may not be suitable for your purpose.
