I have found that you don't want to over complicate things and try and keep things as simple as needed. Freshbooks is a great option for basic bookkeeping, has timetracking and some level of project mgt. I have not used the timetracking and PM tools within it as of yet so I cannot comment too much, but it does have the foundational components you are looking for.

In regards to PM software, this can also get overcomplicated in a hurry. Try using something like Trello, its free and is simple to use. I know that others LOVE Basecamp, but I am still not onboard as of yet. The other best thought on PM software is that if your using it to track others work progress, to learn the tools the developer likes, that way you are assured buy in.

I have a broad scope of experience with CRM and PM software and it really comes down to what you require, and to avoid over complicating things.

Just my thoughts.
