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.

We wouldn't be in business if not for Freshbooks!
What do you like best? Freshbooks moves at the speed of our business. It's there to track an hour or two of work, or it's there to remind our clients to pay. It's intuitive and downright fun to book business in Freshbooks. What do you dislike? Honestly? Nothing. It rocks just the way it is. Even their support staff is top-notch. Recommendations to others considering the product: It's the best way to go from "freelancer" to "small business operator". It adds a level of ...

Great experience so far
What do you like best? The customer service is honestly next level. I love that when I call, I always have someone who is willing to answer any question I have! That's #1 priority for me, is someone can teach me how to use this platform, so I don't feel like I'm confused on what I'm doing, especially when it comes to invoicing clients on a daily basis. I also love that I have an account manager for my company, so I can call someone when I have issues. What do you dislike? I'm not ...

Really enjoy the entire process!
What do you like best? Simplicity and ease of use make it a great entry point for a business owner who’s never managed their finances before. It makes organizing and coordinating expenses so easy. What do you dislike? I feel like there could be more built in automation or easier ways to generate your own custom profiles for managing expenses and things. I also wish the expense matching was easier. It’s really hard to match things especially the stripe payments. Recommendations ...

Accounting for creatives
What do you like best? Freshbooks is easy to use, even for me and I'm your stereotypical creative type that has difficulty with numbers. I love that I can track my time easily from my computer or my phone with an app. I love that putting together an invoice is as easy as a few clicks. Estimates are a breeze too. Plus freshbooks looks nice! What do you dislike? There really aren't any downsides. For a while the app was glitchy but that seems to have been solved. I wish I could keep ...

Great platform for new entrepreneurs
What do you like best? Freshbooks is super easy to use and has great reports. I've used it for about 8 years and highly recommend it. They even have a chart of accounts now! What do you dislike? Cannot custom the chart of accounts and it's difficult to stop and adjust recurring expenses when trying to do it a few months after they should have stopped. Recommendations to others considering the product: Freshbooks is super easy to use and has great reports. I've used it for ...

Great So Far!
What do you like best? I love being able to use the app on my phone and have it integrate with the website version. What do you dislike? There are a few features that don’t work the same on the app. Also, the estimate and invoicing numbering can be quite frustrating, especially when it tries to auto populate even for different clients. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Invoicing is great! Taking CC payments has been nice as well!

Easy to use, great for small businesses!
What do you like best? I have been using Freshbooks for nearly 10 years now and I have been so satisfied with the service. It has been very easy to manage our clients, update their information, send invoices and receive payment. We have also used the contractor and employee features as well. It's been a great tool for keeping track of how our time is spent and also allocating billable time to invoices. It's nearly effortless! What do you dislike? I have not yet found an issue ...

Best cloud accounting software... no-brainer for solopreneurs!
What do you like best? The best part about FreshBooks is the recurring invoice feature and the automated invoice reminders! I also love the proposals and ability to convert an accepted proposal to an invoice in one click! What do you dislike? I would like to see more data on the dashboard and/ or data presented differently... monthly revenue in a bar graph vs continue line graph; year over year comparison; view of top line vs bottom line sales with a check box. Also, I'd like to ...
