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).

The best Co-pilot for any new business or freelancer.

Freshbooks allows those who aren't the best at coordinating, remembering to save receiots, or aren't very number minded and for those that are, freshbooks is even BETTER!!!Freshbooks is user friendly, the hours tracking and reports allow one to stay on track, the expense filing setup to your bank account, being able to take a photo of your receipts, accounts receivable has never been easier with automated 30, 60, 90, and 90+ messages, financial reporting has never been easier. These are ...

Freshbooks - easy and intuitive first-level solution

Our firm purchased Freshbooks this past year. It was the perfect solution for a small consulting firm with subcontractors and multiple clients. It is extremely easy to use, super intuitive and makes time tracking and client invoicing very simple. Our subs each have their own accounts and track time against common projects that we can aggregate for client billing. We are needing to migrate to a full-scale accounting solutions now that we have a more elaborate chart of accounts and need for a ...

Great software that is semi intuitive

Overall, in short, this is a great tool to use in my small business. I found a few odd placement issues with where to find certain things, like adjusting taxes in the expense reports. Why would this be in the settings (up top and not in a main header section or accessible to change via link directly from the expense reporting tab? And deleting a vendor/client was a bit to figure out at first, however their customer support is spot on. So my 4 stars is really to say it's not quite perfect ...

Very happy

My needs are pretty basic, but I'm glad there's room to grow if I get beyond basic. Support was attentive and very prompt.

Average

Freshbooks still has a ways to go with improving their system.It has been very frustrating at times.I used to use Quickbooks online, but their customer service was so terrible that I switched to Freshbooks. I have LOVED the customer service at Freshbooks, but just wish their program was as comprehensive as Quickbooks online.

Clients actually compliment my invoicing

As a solo freelancer, I'll take any credibility boost I can get. Freshbooks gives me easy, professional invoicing and online payment that clients keep remarking about. The time tracking, accounting, and reporting features mean I don't need additional software to run my business. Over my four years with Freshbooks, new features keep getting added right when I need them. Great company that makes the "business" part of my business easy.

Why Use Quickbooks?

I'm a technology consultant and my needs are simple: I need a reliable time tracking system and billing system; a solution that can manage electronic payments; a solution that can prepare financials and share them electronically with my accountant; a solution I can run from my cell phone. I don't need an _accounting_ system; I need a good _billing_system.And that's what Freshbooks is. It's an excellent product that simply works. It integrates well with 3rd parties, is very conscious of ...

Absolutely love this company!

When I was first introduced to FreshBooks I was hesitant because I wanted a free solution; but this is worth every single penny.They offer a wide variety of tools for any small business and they are all extremely simple to use. I am also a big fan of the mobile application, it's nice to be able to take a picture of receipts and create an expense on the go.
