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.

Perfect for my business

What do you like best? I really love the simplicity and clarity of the interface, which facilitates my being able to get what I need out of this accounting package. What do you dislike? There were a couple of updates that fooled me at first. And early on, the product didn't support an ad hoc invoice. But now it does. Recommendations to others considering the product: Great cloud-based product, built for collaboration. What problems are you solving with the product? What ...

Changed the game for our invoices

What do you like best? Makes creating and tracking invoices and expenses so easy! What do you dislike? I’d love if there was more payroll and tax form integration. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? No need to use complex systems or outdated spreadsheets to track everything.

Beautiful, Effective Software for Entrepreneurs

What do you like best? One of the great features of FreshBooks is the timer, which allows me to not only bill accurately and easily but also understand how much time I devote to specific projects. It keeps me accountable, which is great for the client and for those of us who tend to over-deliver. I also love the ease of invoicing via email. Having the email come straight from FreshBooks helps me look professional, and it's as simple as clicking a button. What do you dislike? ...

Great accounting software for small businesses

What do you like best? Ease of preparing snazzy looking invoices and receiving online payments. I love being able to add pictures to my invoices, and it's nice to be able to check on whether an invoice or estimate has been viewed yet. If the customer hasn't viewed it I know I should follow up and make sure it hasn't been lost in their email. That feature alone has made a lot of sales that I would have otherwise considered "abandoned". Support has been great the few times I've needed ...

Intuitive and efficient

What do you like best? As a graphic designer that handles my own bookkeeping, I love the convenience of having the whole process in one place; from the estimate to the time tracking, billing and all the accounting features. What do you dislike? It no longer shows the the monthly profit and loss on the home screen Recommendations to others considering the product: Go for it! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Freshbooks ...

Excellent Customer Service

What do you like best? The quick response to issues and questions. The friendly follow up and resolution to challenges. What do you dislike? I have individual clients that work for the same company. For example, 50 Realtors who all work for Keller Williams. Would like the invoices to be able to auto-populate so I don't have to continue to fill out the same business name and address over and over. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? ...

Great program for a small business!

What do you like best? I love the organization structure of the program, the fact that it connects with our bank and PayPal, but the best part is the wonderful customer support! What do you dislike? It gets fairly expensive once you go up to 50 or more customers. Recommendations to others considering the product: This program is great for someone new to bookkeeping, as well as someone that has been doing books for a long time. I love that it connects to my bank and PayPal ...

Simple and easy to use

What do you like best? Freshbooks has simplified our invoicing. What do you dislike? I would like cost of sales to be able to put actual cost of the inventory rather than a percentage. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? Keeping past invoices under control is the best benefit for us using Feshbooks.

Saves Time and Money

What do you like best? Using FreshBooks has saved me time when creating invoices, and also provides a great way to time track. What do you dislike? Sometimes the interface can be a little tricky to find things, but once they're found it's not a problem. What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized? I used to use a phone app to track time, but FreshBooks has an internal time tracker that can link directly to clients. This helps to save me ...

Rescinding my review.

What do you like best? Ease of use, new features being added, Stripe implementation, great API, great support, I've tried most of the competition and have chosen FreshBooks as my accounting and invoicing software. Everything is in one place, and it just works well. Even over industry-leading solutions. What do you dislike? I literally cannot think of something about Freshbooks that I dislike. I tried! What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you ...
