Here's a simple script to migrate Freeagent invoice data -> Freshbooks. Putting this out there in case it helps someone else.
# gem install ruby-freshbooks
# https://github.com/elucid/ruby-freshbooks
#
# * Limitations *
# - Freshbooks Invoice #'s can only be 10 characters
# - requires creating clients ahead of time (though this would be easy for someone to add)
# - client names must match exactly
#
# * Usage *
# require 'freshbooks_importer'
