Welcome to BambooInvoice

Originally developed by Derek Allard and abandoned in 2014, I (Cedric Perrot) decided to pick up the development and add some more functionality.

BambooInvoice is free Open Source invoicing software intended for small businesses and independent contractors. Our number one priorities are ease of use, user-interface, and beautiful code.

View source shows semantic, structured, meaningful XHTML. We use AJAX to keep things peppy and javascript to keep things functional.
