Time tracking and how seamlessly it's connected to invoicing.
Not having more functions for individual project tracking, like schedules and timelines.
get paid faster.
It’s modern, clean, and easy to use interface.
I would love to periodically have someone check in to make sure I am getting the best use from all the products offered.
My clients appreciate the brand consistency and simplicity in viewing and paying their invoices.
FreshBooks has made invoicing and getting paid much easier as my business grows.
There really isn’t too much I dislike. The expense tracking could be easier and add more flexibility.
I’m able to automatically follow up and track income and invoices a lot easier.
Its easy to use and works for my small business.
I click the remember for next time when entering expenses but it does not do this function.
It is easy to use and I can get my accounting work done quickly and efficiently.
I like the time tracking features the best. I keep track of all my time on projects. I also like the ease of invoicing my clients.
I would like the ability to be able to charge clients for the use of credit cards. These charges are pretty high for a small business and my clients would be happy to pay for the convenience.
I'm not an accountant. I like that Freshbooks makes it easy to handle my expenses and invoicing.
Ease of use to set-up, invoice and track billings.
I wish I could have more customers saved in the basic plan - it's annoying to only be able to manage five at a time.
Since I migrated to FreshBooks, my invoicing has become much easier to set up and manage - and I look much more professional. Greatest benefit is being able to track all outstanding invoices in one place and sort by customer or other key parameters.
Freshbooks is simple to use, fully of useful features and reports, and perhaps best of all, they have the best customer support I have ever witnessed in my 30 years online. Bravo!
The only thing I've ever found to dislike is the 50 character limit when creating a title for an invoice.
I have solved a myriad of problems, which is important since I am a small company with limited accounting resources---namely me. Freshbooks provides me with everything I need to stay on top of both day to day and long-term numbers relating to my business. They provide me with reports that I couldn't dream of that provide new and helpful insights into how we are performing.
The quick response to issues and questions. The friendly follow up and resolution to challenges.
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.
Ease of issuing and paying invoices online. Quick resolution when we need to refund a client.
It is easy to create multiple billing rates for various consulting arrangements, UI is very well realized. Reports make tax preparation quite simple.
I think the pricing change was rather sudden, and not handled all that well from a PR standpoint.
I’ve never had a billing platform this flexible. I’ve juggled simultaneous projects as a cloud strategy consultant, Engineering Process, and general IT consulting, all with different clients and billing rates. This was more difficult before FreshBooks.
Ease of use. Generating invoices and interfacing with clients is a breeze.
The 5 client cap before having to upgrade to a higher tier of pricing.
Invoicing and keeping tax prep to a minimum.
