To add insult to injury, 18 months after Freshbooks canceled and deleted my account, they charged my credit card for another year subscription.

Freshbooks should be facing fraud charges and or a Class Action lawsuit. I expect either very shortly in the future.

Ease of use and integration from pc to mobile. The fact that i could copy repetitive invoices and projects saved me a lot of time as well.

It’s very easy to use,excellent customer service and use also a great mobile app. I am really happy to have this software in my company.

Dishonest Culture - Horendous Customer Service - Terrible product STAY AWAY.

I love that i can send edit and track my business. The app on my phone is great but would like more of the same options as the desktop.

Software is easy to use, has the appropriate features and the support staff is outstanding.

Interface is hard and confusing to use. Not built for those without precision motor skills (forget it if you have any sort of impairment).

It shows you who is yet to give the payments and how much outstanding balance is remaining. The compatibility of FreshBooks is so good that it tells you the total profit and loss.

My experience was FreshBooks has been a phenomenal one. The interface is great and the presentation and look of the program is great as well.

Its easy  to use have a good customer servicehave good mobile apps designed so good and have attractive invoice templates.

I like that the software is great at keeping track of invoices. It's helpful for a freelancer.

It was a great beginners accounting software with an invoicing option that I made good use of. It was pretty intuitive and user friendly.

I like the fact that it makes me very serene about my numbers. This is not something I like doing so I recommend it.

It had been extremely simple to highlight and remove outsider applications since it made my experience superb to utilize this product.

Great for freelancers and small businesses. Free version is easy to use and when you upgrade to the paid version you get great features.

Great experience, easy to use. Customers like quotes and invoices and I like the ability to create them off my mobile device quickly and easily.

The downside of FreshBooks is that there is no possibility of merging contacts while duplicates are repeated when Freshbooks connects to another platform e.g. Hubspot.

It's does a wonderful job helping to keep track of all the outstanding bills of all of the clients that I have.

It is a great experience to manage our things with Freshbooks & it made our tasks more easier. Thanks team for the wonderful software.

So easy to set up and the customer service is awesome, they immediately helped me to fix issues.

What I love most is the standby customer service– it's really been helpful and effective.

Easy to use, it has integrations with PayPal among others. It has integrated time tracker and great support.

I also love how easy it is to maneuver through FreshBooks website. FreshBooks is also very affordable which makes it easy for me to focus on other details in my business.

There are a few features missing in the software compared to the other softwares.

It's been really great to get a quick glance whenever I log in of how many invoices I have outstanding and how much I'm billing clients throughout the year.

There are many integrations and excellent support that helps us with all issues.

The fact that the accounting software is one that helps in the smooth running of a business. It is very easy, secure and user friendly.

An excellent business tool and support. A great investment for smaller organizations.

I was frustrated when I was struggling to keep track of business. I didn't quite understand what I needed to do.

It's very cost effective. Good for small and mid-sized businesses who need a simple accounting alternative.

Ease of use is perfect and integrates easily on a website and setup is easy to setup and manage from one location.

There is so many features that any one at any level can use. The pricing options definitely made this a great purchase item to help my business.

I use it for invoicing, expenses, estimates, and tracking profits. The home UI is super fun to look at and easy to understand.

The personalization of contracts and some accounting errors are the example.

Not everyone learns at the same rate and everyone hates change.

The applications are user friendly and the closing per month  is quick and efficient. If you encounter any difficulties the support is outstanding.

Looking forward to discovering more efficiencies we were unaware of previously.

We also use the software for AR, AP, inventory, and check reconciliation. Overall VMS is a good product, and has great customer service.

It is a fully integrated product from purchase orders to dispatch to all things financial. We don't have to go outside the VMS product for supporting software such as an accounting product.

It is great to visit with them every year and to know there is a friend on the other end of the support line when we need it.

Ability to transfer Estimate to Job Cost and Service. The ease of searching  is great.

All software has issues and the client portal allows us to log issues and check the progress. The staff is courteous, helpful, and knowledgeable.

Top marks for customer support. Having an integrated solution for all our business is very efficient.

My biggest issue though is how difficult it can be to get some new set up by programming. Anything custom is expensive and takes forever.

Having such a great customer service team when dealing with software changes and updates, even when trying to navigate areas in the program your company has yet utilized they have never let us down.

No or very little training on the software. No idea how to use most of it.

We always come back from the conference with new information and ideas for improving our workflow. Above everything else, we value the Vertical Market Support staff.

The support was, and continues to be great, and I have the highest degree of confidence when I do have to call that issues are taken care of quickly. These guys really deserve an award.

Vast number of reports, very diverse in what you can pull. Ability to save to queue to have a history of all transactions.

The support from VMS is great, they are always very helpful and responsive. The product is easy to use and navigate, and we are very happy.

It has great functionality, and it's user friendly.

I know we will see better tracking between warehouses once everyone gets it under control.

It is a very powerful accounting software. If used properly it can do a lot of amazing things.

The ease of usability, easy to find what i am looking for and track my work flow. The ability to change the sites that we take care of.
