Spotsaas Editor’s POV

FreshBooks works best for freelancers, small agencies, and service businesses handling invoicing, expense tracking, and basic project costing. The interface requires minimal training, and core features—time tracking, expense categorization, project assignment—are straightforward to set up. Account managers are available for onboarding calls, and the mobile app ...Read more

Freshbooks pros and cons

  • User-friendly interface, making it simple to set up and use even for non-accounting experts.

  • Excellent customer support with responsive, knowledgeable, and patient account managers, frequently cited for their exceptional service.

  • Effective for small and freelance businesses, particularly for tasks like invoicing, expense tracking, and bookkeeping.

  • Offers valuable features like recurring billing, time tracking, project collaboration, and seamless payment integrations (e.g., PayPal, Stripe).

  • Reporting functionalities and customizations are less capable compared to industry giants, limiting advanced financial analysis.

  • Invoice customization options are relatively limited, which may not meet specific branding needs.

WHY I LEFT QUICKBOOKS TO GIVE MY BUSINESS A FRESH START

As a small business owner, I had used Quickbooks software for years to run several small business startups. However, the software became increasingly complex, with expensive updates that did not always work as they should. I found Freshbooks last year, and now find myself more organized and with more time to attend to the actual work I need to do to run my business. I appreciate the user-friendly interface and credit card capabilities,and recommend Freshbooks to everyone I know in small ...

Saved me about 4 days-a-month

I don't usually publish reviews of services, but I feel it's the least I can do in this case. Freshbooks is the most user-friendly, time-saving, software I ever used. it simplified my billing process, my time tracking, and my taxes. I can more quickly see trends, follow up with clients, and monitor my business. Can't say enough positive things

Love Freshbooks

As a small business, Freshbooks has everything I need to invoice and get paid. They update frequently--adding services I end up loving even when I didn't even know I needed them. They have great, responsive customer service as well.

Agile & Easy

Freshbooks is everything you wish other accounting systems were. It feels like it is custom built for small business owners who manage their own books. You aren't an accountant, you don't think like an accountant, and your software should work the way you work.More than anything I like how accessible and paper-free it is. I can issue invoices, take payments, request deposits, expense clients for project related purchases, and log expenses all on my phone. My phone! Of course the web app is ...

I love Freshbooks!

I run my own business and bookkeeping/#s is NOT my thing! FreshBooks makes it soooo much easier! I used the free version for a while until I had too many clients and now use the paid version. Well worth it!I was referred by a colleague to it and have referred a few others. Definitely worth giving it a try.

Great starter program

Much easier to use then quick books! Only problem I've had is you can't make changes. What they have is what you get.

Quick and easy

Freshbooks is a really quick and easy way for us to register our costs and manage our invoices. I love the mobile app! Ideal for startup companies. Now that our company is taking off however I am not sure yet if Freshbooks will be able to cover our requirements.
