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

Freshbooks helped me step up my game!

I've been a very, very happy Freshbooks customer for about a year. I started off with the free trial and it quickly became obvious that the professionalism, organization and accounting that the service brought to my small business was well worth every penny, so I committed to it and it's paid for itself. Being able to instantly tabulate and send an invoice that looks polished is essential. I especially love the new addition of being able to accept credit card payments from clients--they ...

Worth every penny

Has made my in office time of organizing invoices, receipts and crunching numbers a breeze. Extremely helpful when paying my GST/HST and other taxes. Love how easy it is to bring up an invoice and review it. Most of my customers are 60+ and frequently tell me how easy it is to use and they love the simplicity.

great for small business owners starting

so far i have had a great experience with using freshbooks. I first tried using quickbooks and found it was very confusing so then i did an online search and found freshbooks. It is easy to use and convenient especially with app that gives me access from my phone.

FreshBooks is the best product for independent contractors

I've used Quicken and QuickBooks for my personal and business accounting in the past. FreshBooks is the perfect solution for me as an independent contractor. The price point is unbeatable and the product is absolutely right-sized for someone who wants their bookkeeping in order, and doesn't want to spend their time crunching numbers when you could be finding new clients or delivering an awesome product to your customers. The mobile app is wonderful, especially for tracking hours and ...

Great for freelancers

Easy to use and the iPhone app makes tracking expenses super easy. With expenses it would be better if you could add different currencies.I’d love to be able to customise the design of the invoices more, but overall Freshbooks saves me heaps of time and reminds me to keep on top of my accounting.
