TEX may be fine for more free-form text, but often reports take a more structured layout than that--fixed columns etc.

For example, I generate my client invoices using odfpy <https://github.com/eea/odfpy>, so that I can do any necessary tweaking using LibreOffice Writer before outputting a PDF file.
