It went closed source a few years ago, but Quasar Accounting is still free to use (for non-POS installations), and the last GPL version still works fine as well.

#12I used FreshBooks.com when I freelanced a few years ago and I think it contained all the features you want and it was pretty inexpensive (~10 USD per month) and invoices/receipts looked very professional and allows setting different currencies for each client (eg. if you work remotely for different international clients).

#14Zoho has free accounts and one of the available apps is invoicing. They have all the features you ask for. You can even integrate the "here's an invoice, pay me" emails with payment processors. I've only used it for a few months, but can't complain - it had way more features than I ever needed. https://www.zoho.com/invoice/ (it's a service, not opensource software though - I assume you really meant free or opensource…
+1 for Zoho. I've been using it for a few months and really like it. Their iOS app is also pretty good for viewing time sheets and logging time.

It's pretty trivial to set up a template, a data source, and have the mail merge feature generate your reports for you. If you F4 in Writer, pick a data source you can drag&drop fields or queries directly into the document where you want them. The rest is just a case of trivial document editing which you're more than likely already familiar with.
Your data source can be anything from a csv (spreadsheet), an .odb or an external data connection to a database (eg, postgres).

Agreed, and you could pair it with Ledger[0] as a way to keep track of the accounting.

#19When I freelanced, a long time ago, I used Solo[0] as a self-hosted solution. It allows only for one account manager but it was perfect for me.
It is written in PHP and the licence gave me permission to edit it the way I needed, so I did.
The same company also makes a "full-featured" alternative called Duet[1] that costs 49$ to buy.
