Thanks for the mention (UserVoice). Thought you might like to know we have a free version available to all small companies looking to get instant feedback from users. Setup is a snap! You'll be on your way in minutes: http://uservoice.com/account/new
Look forward to your review!

Oh yeah, to clarify, I had gone ahead and set up UserVoice, and while that sort of functionality is great for sites w/ many users for gathering feedback, I'm not as sure whether that dynamic applies to a small business w/ a limited number of clients. (Probably not)

Thanks for posting this, Leonard - I've been meaning to do a similar writeup on our blog. So far we're using LessAccounting - http://lessaccounting.com/ - for tracking money stuff, Google Apps and Dropbox, and Technology Credit Union - http://techcu.com/ - for banking. Still undecided on bug trackers, though I'm leaning toward Lighthouse - http://lighthouseapp.com/
Cheers, -E

Yeah, I was curious that more people who I knew were making some of the same decisions hadn't been posting about what they've discovered, so I thought I'd kick off the conversation a bit. :)
How do you like TechCU? Do you use their payroll, merchant processing? Do they do electronic payments/ACHs? We're just getting our EIN so haven't actually locked in 100% on the banking yet. Do you guys have SEP/SIMPLE IRA stuff set up?
LessAccounting looks pretty decent - I like the ability to upload scans for expenses...
I took a quick look at Lighthouse, which looks really nice (and the scm integration looks sweet), but for us Fogbugz was a nobrainer since we'd been using it already and the effort tracking is really nice (not a great fit if your doing hourly invoicing or timesheets for freelancing, but for dev projects, is great)

TechCU's been great so far, but we're not yet using it for payroll and merchant stuff. They send/receive ACH which we've done a few times, and it's worked great. So has hooking it up to our own bank accounts so we don't need to write checks to ourselves. Don't have IRA stuff going yet - was hoping to be able to do that through Vanguard (who we used at Google), but we're not quite there yet. ;)
Cheers, -E

Adobe Acrobat Connect (formerly Macromedia Breeze) is a pretty polished collaboration tool with video/audio conferencing and whiteboarding and there's nothing to install, each user just needs to have Flash. Kinda pricey, though, I believe it starts at $39/month.
I use the free version of Toggl (http://www.toggl.com/) for time tracking, it has a desktop client.
I also have the usual love/hate relationship with Basecamp.
