Freshbooks Software

Cloud based, easy to use application you don't need to much knowledge on computer, the design looks professional. Plus, a big help for accounting, finances, and clients as well.

Pros

Our Accounting department started deploying and use of this system. Well if you view the entire system it looks appealing, icons and buttons are nice. It does not look complicated to use. Automation of invoicing, notifications for clients, having all of it in one system is great idea this application have. Great work!

Cons

Convincingly it is for small to medium businesses. Yet this works on a cloud, updating is real time, this is is still a promising application.

Pros

Interface appearance. Ease of use. Statement creation. Electronic abilities. Works great for online statements, and established business.

Cons

Cost Effectiveness depends on state of company. Difficult to undertake for a brand new, start up business.

This software is affordable (If very limiting at the lowest tier) and provides an easy, stress-free experience for keeping track of invoices and communicating with clients. Particularly useful for anyone providing services such as electronics repair, landscaping, on site technical support, etc...

Pros

Easy tracking of estimates/invoices. UI is very intuitive and communication with clients is a breeze. Knowing when an invoice has been viewed is a killer feature. Expense tracking is nice.

Cons

Basic tier is very limited (can only save the info for 5 clients and no proposal creation), When creating a new line item, there is no way to add the cost of that item, just the sale price.

Pros

The functionality is top notch. Clean and simple design, easy to use. I love the estimate portion which allows us to easily created and send beautiful estimates and proposals

Cons

I wish it had more functionality to connect accounts. I have yet to hook up this feature yet as I hate the QB functions and am afraid to ruin a good thing with FreshBooks.

Pros

The thing I liked most about Freshbooks, was its customer support. Their team was available practically 24/7 to answer any questions that I had, both during the initial setup and afterwards.

Cons

I was not too big a fan of this platforms user interface. I found it a bit clunky and bit difficult to navigate.

Overall, give this software a try. It works and I love how you have everything in one place. Their developers are also accomodating and they show great customer service. If in case you get any issues, they response as soon as possible, limiting the delays in your business. Thumbs up to the team!

Pros

Freshbooks helps our accounting team big time. From timely payroll functions to paying bills in helps us maximize our workforce because the software itself works fantastic. The interface is easy to use and modern in style.

Cons

It's kinda difficult to sync data from the website to the mobile application. I hope it improves on that aspect.

Freshbooks made it really easy for us!

Pros

We just recently implemented to use this tool and I though setting this app will be a pain but it didn't happen. It is easy to set up and to navigate.

Cons

I've been using this tool for just about 2 months now and haven't explored it features and functionalities though, I've never experienced trouble using it.

Pros

Easy to use! The UX is so simple and clean looking, you don't have to dig around to look for what you need.

Cons

Haven't compared this to other money management tools, so would like to see how this software stacks up against the competition price-wise.

Pros

With Freshbooks, there is accuracy on the employees' working hours. With the use of pomodoro, you can itemize and categorize the type of work done on every 30 minutes of the employees' scheduled shift. The Employer benefits the process where the employee is paid only on hours that the employee has been productive. Every minute is worth paying as time is maximized and utilized. With work details included, the management can see if the worker followed the tasks assigned and what still needs to be finished. The employee can link their paypal for payment option or salary payment method. As soon as it's approved, the pay is automatically transferred to the employees account and will be credited after 3 working days. It's easy to use and people are regrouped to their designated department or head. Tasks and time allotted can be edited in case hours should be adjusted.

Cons

Instead of employees concentrating on finishing tasks, freshbooks process is also an added task on their part where you have to use a timer and make sure that the tasks done are noted. The employees are usually paid less per day even if they were present or online within their given scheduled hours. Pay is not credited instantly and will be on pending for 3 days even if it was already approved by the Manager.

Pros

So ready to use, even for the financial challenged!!! Perfect for my small business. Has a free trial!

Cons

Estimates should readily email, but they don't without lots of manipulation and frustration. Such a hassle!

Pros

Simple accounting for small businesses who don't need an enterprise-level SaS. Awesome platform and support was friendly / knowledgable.

Cons

Inventory management / tracking? Non existent unless you switch to their legacy version which will be gone soon. No point in having an accounting software if you can't track inventory!

I'm still new to this software but it makes me feel more secure running a business, and looks clean, professional, and established. So far very happy to have found it, though the price could be slightly better (especially in Canada).

Pros

-Feature suite; particular the invoices, invoice tracking, and expense tracking
-Easy to setup
-No option overwhelm; two basic layout/visual options for invoicing
-Remembers your vendors for later
-Easy to setup recurring invoices, set it and forget it
-Can track your tax collection in conjunction with your expenses to make tax time simpler
-Attach photos of receipts to expenses

Cons

-Customer service/sales is a little pushy - started with the free trial and received many emails and calls about upgrading when I had yet to have a chance to actually use the service
-Would like if the expense upload option let you pick which entries make it in; it pulls almost everything as a business expense if you sync it up with your bank, and will pull ones you've already synced and then deleted the next time you sync - so far it's been simpler to manually enter

Pros

It was good to generate invoices for my clients and to integrate a payment option in a wordpress site that I have.

Cons

At the end I could get all the benefits that the tool offers and I ended up changing for an open source option instead. The price was not convenient for me.

Pros

Pros for Freshbooks is the ease of use! Very easy to get started, and not very complicated! Which is a huge plus!

Cons

Doesn't appear to have many "extras". I'd prefer it have a few more options for advanced users to help with more detailed accounting.

Overall, I use this software every day and love it for all of my invoicing and expense tracking related to client work.

Pros

Clean and clear interface. Straight forward to use each day. Clean invoice templates for invoices, estimates and proposals

Cons

Time tracking is lacking. It's the least intuitive portion of the entire experience. The browser extension would be way nicer if it didn't log me out as often as it does.

Pros

I was impressed with the interface of this software. it was accounting made simple for creatives. it provides a lot of ease for data entry. it also tracks outstanding payments very well.

Cons

this software however is not comprehensive enough for my business model. so if you have a lot of customizable services then this software might not be for you. it is just too basic for my business.

If you're a small company or have a small team, let FreshBooks help you with your accounting needs!

Pros

Easy to learn, easy to create invoices, many other accounting related tools to choose from with your subscription.

Cons

They have raised their prices recently however, I think the software is worth their current price points.

Overall, I absolutely love Freshbooks. I have used it for years and have showed new people how awesome it is and how to use it effectively.

Pros

Three reasons way Freshbooks is the smart tool for on the go entrepreneurs are:
1. Freshbooks has the ability to convert an estimate to and invoice. This allows you to begin work on a project quickly.
2. It integrates with Stripe so you can literally accept global currency. Again, right from your phone.
3. Freshbooks is a time saver for accounting. I can track expenses right here. I don't have to use another app.

Cons

The only two things I would change is the ability for chat support from either a smart device or laptop would be great and better goal setting.

Pros

Easy to use. Easy account software for my buisness needs. Can be used on any device. Very nice product features like invoicing and reporting.

Cons

Reports are not that easy to understand especially when you are new to the world of performance charts.

Pros

I love how time and expense tracking, invoicing, payment reminders, and payment processing are all included in one easy to use system. They recently rolled out an entirely new UI/UX which is still getting a few things ironed out, but is overall a great experience.

Cons

There are some minor features which would be nice to have that do not currently exist, such as being able to mark time as unbilled after you have marked it billed, and some visual customization.
