I've personally tried several different online services but ultimately landed on Wave (https://waveapps.com - no affiliation). I used it for personal consulting and lately have used it for somewhat more formal (bit still fairly straightforward) corporate accounting. I'm a big fan - just my two cents.

+1 for Wave. I started an LLC to do contract work and so far it's been great.

I do have one minor gripe: I have my Wave linked with my Azlo bank account, and when I'm scanning and uploading a receipt Wave creates a separate transaction, in addition to the one from my bank feed. You have to go in and manually select both txns and click "Merge". Seems like a pretty big miss, but still very usable. Especially on my small scale.

Completely agree - being able to just add rote attachments to a journal entry is a huge miss. Hoping they rectify it soon.

+1 for Wave. I only ever do part time work but Wave works really well for me. I use the free tier because at most per year I send out 10-20 invoices.
