Hi,

Whilst obviously not written in Gambas, I've been using GnuCash for 
personal accounting for some time. The double entry bit and UI are a 
little clunky for my basic needs, but in the end it works. I'm think you 
can use it for billing and you can tailor reports etc in guile, so it 
may be worth a look. Source code should be available since it is GPL.
