Accounts Receivables and Invoicing Using FileMaker Pro

Douglas Alder explores why and how you should use FileMaker to supplement, integrate with, or even replace more traditional accounting systems.  My experience with meeting customer needs is similar to his:  Different types of companies have different types of process and reporting needs, and they usually shoehorn their needs into what the accounting packages offer.  FileMaker lets then easily and inexpensively build better solutions:
