* time tracking: a frankenstein combination of system logs (especially helpful when jumping between workstations), paper notebook, and chatlogs
* invoicing: http://billable.me/

Evolution (and current, w/ a small team):
* time tracking: http://getharvest.com/
* invoicing, accounting, etc: https://www.xero.com/
The first one carried me for a few months, at an average workload of 60~140h/mo and a maintenance workload of about 4 hours total.
The latter is solving somewhat different problems, but does equate to time won on the admin side.
