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.

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).

  • Invoice customization options are relatively limited, which may not meet specific branding needs.

I did a lot of research on similar products, and I am glad that I chose FreshBooks. I can do it myself, yet I am never alone. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. The product gives me the flexibility that I need to concentrate on my consulting business.

Decent product, not open to feedback

Freshbooks is a decent product that does most of what I need. Suggestions for improvements fall on deaf ears. They've been advertising a new fresh look for it for quite a while but nothing has come out. Its the same product with the same features and limitations I started using a year ago. Not sure if they're serious about improving it.

Freshbooks has all the features I need for my business. Invoicing, automatic expense recording, a mobile app with the ability to upload pictures of receipts, time tracking...and much more! Since I started using it I no longer dread going to get my taxes done, and my clients appreciate the ease of the online invoicing system. Highly recommended.

Fully capable and robust online accounting

For me, FreshBooks is the perfect accounting software to keep track of my clients, work progress, and billing/payment. In my particular business I have a wide range of client lists so dependence on volume is never an issue. I've enjoyed my association with FreshBooks for over 10 years!

Key tool for a mobile small business

The administrative part of my business life got a lot easier when I started using FreshBooks, thanks to a referral from a colleague. We have a highly mobile small company with work across North America, and some overseas, as well as associates based across the US. Therefore, the most important features for me on FreshBooks are the ability to schedule recurring invoices for retainer clients, and access FreshBooks wherever I am, as long as I have an internet connection. I cut down on my ...
