Office Accounting Express

Sometimes it’s hard to believe these programs are free. Office Accounting Express from Microsoft lets me track my time (and my employees’ time, if I had any), create invoices and estimates, reconcile with my bank account and accept credit cards through PayPal.

If I knew anything at all about accounting, I’d probably use a lot more of their features, but this program is perfect for my needs as a freelance writer with multiple clients.
