Great, easy to use tool for new freelancers :)

Great tool for managing invoices and accepting payment! It's streamlined my transition to taking on freelance clients, and the tax features are so helpful to keeping me on track for tax season.

I couldn't live without it!

Bonsai is just a must-have for any business in my opinion! I don't think I could run my business without it! From sending proposals and getting my clients to easily sign our contract, to sending the invoices on time, Bonsai is the best tool for project and business management! Their templates have honestly saved me so much time and helped me when I didn't have a clue about what do to and how. Couldn't recommend it enough for any freelancers and business owner!

Bonsai CRM for Interior Designers

I'm very happy with Bonsai CRM. As an interior designer working remotely, Bonsai had made my life so much easier. I have used other CRM in the past and had tested all the CRM platforms in the market and by far Bonsai is the best out there.

Bonsai is easy to use and they are constantly making updates to improve their platform. I've been using them for a couple of years for my business and it's always worked smoothly for me.

Bonsai is awesome!

I have been using Bonsai for about 6+ months now for my freelance graphic design business. I LOVE it. It's super convenient for contracts, invoices (+recurring invoices) and tracking billable time. It's just all around perfect for freelancers.

A great CRM/Invoicing option for a great Value!

I have used a few apps like Hello Bonsai but none have stacked up as a small business owner. Between the cost and the features it can't be beat. The customer service is outstanding as well if you ever have a question you can't find an answer to. I would 100% recommend Hello Bonsai!

Essential Freelance Tool

I've used Bonsai for my freelance design business for a year and it's been an essential part of my day-to-day work, from onboarding new clients, to generating professional proposals, contracts, invoices and billing options, it's been great. I consider Bonsai a business partner at this point! I also use Bonsai Tax to automatically calculate all taxes I will owe and what I need to pre-pay. This gives me peace of mind knowing I'm setting it aside ahead of time and won't get any surprises come ...

I have been using Hello Bonsai for 4 years now. Just love it. It's fast and easy, and I can track time as well as the invoice and do my contracts all in one place. I know other places do this, but as a Creative Director/Producer contract worker, it's been very helpful.

Business Relaunch!!!

After relaunching my business and looking into reopening a QuickBooks account I found that they were NO LONGER interested in customer service and reasonable pricing! So I researched similar software and I came across "Hello Bonsai", signed up, and WOW! Everything I needed for a freelance business! Great pricing with lots of options!!!! I especially like that you can create timesheets and legal contracts!!! There are tutorial videos on "Youtube" that will help get you on your way!!!! Try it, ...
