    💵 Bigcapital is financial accounting with intelligent reporting for faster decision-making, an open-source alternative to Quickbooks, Xero, etc.

    Odoo. Open Source Apps To Grow Your Business.

    Belgian company, very complete offering ( used to be called OpenERP) - https://www.odoo.com/

    Note: I have OpenERP v7 still running for free ( well, except my VPS).

  5. WeasyPrint

    The awesome document factory

    For Python there is Weasyprint: you prepare the invoice as an HTML document, and Weasyprint turns it into a PDF

  6. gnucash-helper

  7. Manta

    🎉 Flexible invoicing desktop app with beautiful & customizable templates.

    Nice work!

    Reminds me of Manta https://github.com/hql287/Manta, which unfortunately has been abandoned 5 years ago.

  8. invoice

    Command line invoice generator

    I live in the terminal and recently found https://github.com/maaslalani/invoice, which looks really cool. Still will likely stick with my own solution (a little ruby and some tectonic latex [https://tectonic-typesetting.github.io/en-US/]), which lets me create PDFs more in-line with my aesthetic.

  10. Invoice Ninja

    A source-available invoice, quote, project and time-tracking app built with Laravel

    I didnt see https://invoiceninja.com/ get mentioned yet, but it is my favorite software solution in this space. You can self host it or pay them for hosting. PDF generation and alot more
