finally- GnuCash

[Cyber Source]

I'm running ALL my accounts through GnuCash now. I've seen how to do 
invoicing and all that in GnuCash but I have other MySQL/PHP software 
that I like for that that creates *.pdf's for my invoices. I would say 
that your wife would be more than welcome, the more the merrier!
