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.

Excellent Invoicing and Accounting System

What do you like best? Freshbooks is super easy to use, very user friendly and budget friendly especially for new businesses. I love that I can input recurring expenses so that I don't have to input them each month. Also, running reports is an absolute breeze. Also, expenses that are recurring but not necessarily the same amount each time can be duplicated for ease of entry each time I need to input them. I can also duplicate an entry when I know that it is the same type of expense ...

Freshbook - Great solution for small businesses

What do you like best? What I like best about Freshbooks is that it is a simple and easy to use time tracking and billing solution for a small business. It makes sending out invoices easy and provides an easy method for clients to make payments via credit card. What do you dislike? Not much. Occasionally there is a problem...that the design of the program does not exactly fit the way that I want to bill for or track the work that I am doing and this is rare...and the technical ...

Freshbooks Makes All The Difference

What do you like best? It is a solid technology program and mobile app. You can track project time and time estimates as well. The bill is easy and payments work very well with Paypal and bank payments. Woks into the tracking of billing and payments so you don't miss any money coming in. If I had not started using Freshbooks, I would have left a lot of money on the table and unclaimed. If you are trying to do efficient time management, Freshbooks lets you track time multiple ways. ...
