Quickbook, Peachtree accting, or pretty much any financial program should be able to do it. Or you can use Excel or Word to make your own.

I still do it the old fashion way with a pen and store bought Avery 2 part invoice book. I like the convenience of being able to carry around with me and I only write couple of invoices a month.

If you want the invoices to tie to a financial or accounting package, then Quickbooks is a good answer.

If all you want is an invoice, Excel has some great invoice templates that you can customize to your needs.

I don't own a business, but I've used Notepad for the occasional invoice. No one complained.

I've seen it done with both Quickbooks and pen/paper depending on the circumstances (as in, ALWAYS carry around a blank invoice book on calls in case the customer needs an invoice right then).

Do you have Access?

(Or excel as has been suggested)

 

[DaveSimmons]

Or WordPad or Word.

Back when I was doing about $10K/year of consulting to the company that bought my old employer, they were perfectly happy with invocies done as a simple Word document with just a couple of horizontal lines to dress it up.

People don't care about how invoice looks. It's just a bill to them. The main thing is to make sure you detail all the charges so there's no confusion and you get paid properly.
