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.

FreshBooks is a Lifesaver and Saves Me Time!
What do you like best? All of it! User friendly, dependable, the project timer. What do you dislike? My only complaint is not being able to associate an expense with a project. Right now, you can only associate it with a client. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Mostly just saves me a ton of time and keeps up with time, expenses, and overdue invoices so I don't have to. Makes tax time at least 10% less nightmarish.

Always striving for better + GREAT customer service.
What do you like best? How easy it is to get the answers I need. It's easy to reach a real human on the phone when I can't find the answer in the FAQ database.

Freshbooks has streamlined my bookkeeping and ensures I get paid on time.
What do you like best? One of the features I like best about Freshbooks is being able to easily create proposals which can be duplicated and modified from project to project then converted to an invoice once accepted. Being able to accept credit cards directly through the platform has drastically cut down the amount of time it takes for a client to pay me. The Freshbooks app is also really nice - I mostly use it on a desktop but especially when travelling it's nice to be able to ...

Everything I Need for my Business
What do you like best? I don't need any other software. Freshbooks does everything: automatic invoicing, estimates, expense tracking, and tax reports. I have one website (and mobile app) that keeps me on top of my accounting so I can focus on the work that I really enjoy. What do you dislike? I feel like the amount I pay monthly is kind of high when there are some features I don't use. I used to have the free version which suited my purposes pretty well. Recommendations to ...

A simple way to keep track of your invoices and much more.
What do you like best? Freshbooks makes it easy to keep track of my accounts receivable. Not only that, but the invoices look professional, and the system is set up in such a way that it's very easy to create different line items as needed. Plus, the integration with Bench is a major plus come tax time. What do you dislike? I wish there were an easier way to include receipts. The functionality exists, but it's a bit clunky. Especially with things like Lyft/Uber receipts. Luckily, ...

Best Software to Help Organize My Business
What do you like best? As a fledgling business owner, Freshbooks is so user-friendly. Everything is laid out in front of me and quick to understand.

I work on many projects at hourly rates for a variety of clients. The fact that I can organize all of these and really make sure that everything is correctly accounted for saves me so much time. I also ...
