Odoo

I would never recommend Odoo anymore, given how painful it is to upgrade from a major version to another. Their answer to it is basically "yeah, some complex migrations need to be done, just send us a copy of your database with highly sensitive company data, pay us to do the migration and we'll send it back to you". Yeah, lol, no.

Yeah, it was always too much for me. But I know quite a few people who run their entire business on it and they’re not small by any means. They hired some people to do custom work for modules too. They all started as small businesses too with Odoo and it just grew with them

Are you in the US? If so, what state? This might be one of the few things I would never consider self hosting. There are so many legal issues you could run into, and if your self hosted solution fails, you’ll be fucked (to put it lightly). I’m an HR/payroll professional by trade, in case that helps.

I’ve used TimeTrex in the past. For my needs “, it was overly complex.

This is one of those areas where I’d think long and hard about self hosting, if you’re doing more than tracking your own hours.

Lots of compliance risk here, and transferring some of that risk to the payroll company is part of what one pays for with those services.

In my case, I just needed to substantiate invoices for a couple of clients I contracted for, and I was strictly paying myself and once in a blue moon my wife.

Agreed. If you have real employees, as much as I hate to say it, just get something like Quickbooks. The small amount of money you spend is well worth the time not fussing over it.

Just too easy to get over a barrel trying to DIY it, and the first time ya screw it up, you lose a ton of credibility with employees which also has a great deal of value.
