I love this tool because it is easy to use, it helps me with the accounting of my small business and best of all is that I do not have to have great knowledge of the subject, what I like most about FreshBooks is its ability to create and manage custom invoices, it integrates seamlessly with accounts like PayPal which facilitates even more online payments, it is amazing the control that keeps track of expenses allowing me to keep up with the profits and losses of my company. I consider that for not having any experience in accounting this tool has been a great help. It does most of the work, so if you are in a bind this platform will always be a great option,
Overall I find it to be very comprehensive and very useful for my company which is small, however for much larger companies it does not offer all the features you might need, nor is it as powerful as other accounting software.
Having FreshBooks has provided me with a better management of my company's finances as it keeps track of cats, and has helped me in an easy way to understand accounting, I have saved me a lot of time as I don't have to spend time on recurring customer invoices every month because FreshBooks does it automatically, and overall it is a tool worth having.
Freshbooks is easy to use, and have built in dasboard, accounting feature, and allows us to generate more than thousands of invocices each month. We can mail out invoices or have e-invoice email to our customers
I like Freshbooks, which allows our customers to be to login to the invoice, print them, look at history, pay by various method, including check, PAYPAL, Stripe, Wepay or via Bank transfer.
It can setup as recurring invoices and we just need to set it up the first time and tell Freshbooks to either email or print out the invoice and mail to the customers.
Freshbooks helps keep things simple. With it's easy to use platform I'm able to quickly send quotes, invoices, and track my expenses in one easy format.
With the simplicity and ease of use it definitely is limited in its ability to fully paint a picture. If you are more financially inclined or have a larger business, this doesn't give you a deep deep dive into how the company is preforming
It's allowing us an easy solution to send out bills quotes and estimates without having to put in too much time... as a small business owner this is key when time and resources are limited.
I love how simple Freshbooks is to keep track of your company's bookkeeping and invoicing.
I wish it let you customize the invoices more.
Tracking time spent on projects and helping to invoice clients accurately
I love freshbooks because it helps me to stay organized while I am working, I can time track for all of my different clients in one convenient space and send them invoices from the same area.
I wish that the first tier of accounts was 10 contracts instead of 5.
Freshbooks has helped me to easily keep tabs on every clients time that I spend.
It was helpful to get us up and running with an online estimating/invoicing solution.
We outgrew it after a few years. That's all. Otherwise it was really a great system.
Like I said before, it gave us the opportunity to turn to the cloud for our accounting setup.
The best thing I like about Freshbooks, is that it is not QuickBooks.
The invoice layouts are limited and could be better.
I am able to invoice, track expenses, track time, organize by project, accept payments, manage accounting tasks, and reports.
Very flexible, simple navigation, easy to understand workflow, best for sending estimates and invoices. Excellent customer support as well.
No built-in payroll module. In the US it integrates with external apps like Gusto and in Canada with the Payment Evolution.
With its features like project creation, team collaboration, and time tracking it has increased the speed and visibility of the status of each project my team is working on. Clients can be billed accurately and auto-payment reminders can be set up as well.
Ability to create and manage customized invoices is what I like best about FreshBooks. FreshBooks integrates seamlessly with PayPal hence enhancing ease of accepting online payments. Expense tracking and managing is well done using this tool. Profit and loss reports can be generated quickly hence possible to know the status of our organization.
FreshBooks makes accounting and bookkeeping activities to look more simple and I got nothing to comment as negative vibe.
Bills can be processed and managed more efficiently with FreshBooks. It's simple to track and manage cash transactions with this tool.
I love the ease of use and the way all my clients are saved in Freshbooks. I've used it for over 10 years and have all my client data stored there. I frequently look back at my old billing history to see how I've changed my packages and pricing over the years. Saved items are also a huge help -- it's like a menu of services that are saved and can be reused on invoices over and over again, making sending a new proposal/invoice to a new client a cinch.
There isn't much to dislike. They've added signatures for proposals, which saves me having to have a HelloSign or AdobeSign license. Their customer support is amazing.
FB saves me so much time. I don't meddle with Excel spreadsheets and each quarter I download my profit and loss for my business financial manager. They use the numbers to calculate my self-employment taxes. It's a huge time savings and by the end of the year, I'm totally organized for tax season.
