iBiz is an easy to use time-billing and invoicing application. It integrates with iCal and Address Book, offers tax support and easily generates custom invoices. This is the most intuitive time-billing application out there.
Essential for anyone self employed. Try it, you won't be disappointed. And yeah, it has seamless networking features.
Here are some key features of "iBiz":
