Another addition that I've been checking to replace Freshbooks to have it self hosted- https://www.fusioninvoice.com/

Just saw an even better alternative for fushioninvoice

https://www.pancakeapp.com/ A bit more expensive one time fee but packed with more features

Interesting. WOuld not have thought to put that stuff on to WordPress.

man, either of these would pay for themselves quickly. one thing I do like about freshbooks that i dont see here is the ability to attach CCs and bank accounts to freshbooks and then be able to manage expenses.

Interesting.

I am looking for a WordPress Ticket System.

Love WordPress.

Seems like most of the stuff could be handled better by other FOSS rather than trying to load a ton of extras on wordpress.

Most certainly, specific applications for these tasks are better. That is almost always the case.

But for the very small shop, these are simple and easy and mostly free.

Yes there are other free choices too.

My concern would be security. WP doesn't have a stellar track record, but rarely contains critical data.

Yeah that would be mine too. It doesn't really matter if a content page is hack too much if it's only really a PR risk. when it contains more it becomes much more valuable.
