FreshBooks
I liked using Fresh Books as an accounting software. It was somewhat easy to use. I would reccomend
I used Fresh Books for accounting. It was easy to use and I like that it is cloud based.
I have always used quick books and wanted to try something new. Fresh books was highly recommended.
I personally chose not to use it. I found there were other software systems that offered more services for about the same price. I did enjoy the ease of use while I did use it.

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!
I do enjoy the simplicity of the Fresh Book system. I haven't tried very many software systems like Fresh Books, but I will say that so far my experience with their software has been good enough for me to stick with them and not go out and search for any other comps! I was introduced to Fresh Books a few months ago when I was watching a YouTube video on my home computer and an advertisement popped up. Generally, I don't pay much attention to the ads, but the ad I saw that day really caught my eye! I was intrigued enough to try it out and I am truly happy I did.
There's not thing that I dislike about Fresh Books.

Overall, I wanted to like fresh books. However in the long run they just don’t compare to quick books.
Customer service is great, they are always helpful & available via phone or email.
Many features aren’t even available in the lite version.

I have read a lot of books and I find these ones to be the best among all books I have come in contact with. It has help me shaped my life and has led me in the right path in building my career. I would not be brought this far without fresh books. If there are any books for me to recommend to users, it will be the fresh books. All thanks to fresh books today I have freedom in both my life and my work.
It has a great content, filled with a lot of insight, it covers almost everything that a man need to build a strong foundation with for his life. Above all is user friendly.
Some of the contents are little dynamic but is very good that way. At least no matter what your profession is, it can still be of a great help to you and guide you build a better life. That's the beauty of it dynamic.

Freshbooks is affordable for a small business so there's no reason not to keep your books from the start. This time I was smart and enabled Freshbooks as soon as I started my business. It really helps give me a clear picture of where my business stands. No more surprises!
Web version and app super easy to use.
When entering expenses from app, would love a drop down of previously used vendors rather than having to type it out. Would also like Paypal & Stripe bank fees to be accounted for automatically. Minor things though!

Easy to access and explore books from different authors
It's mode of book arrangements, as they are not professionally packed
Hey Joshua, thank you for sharing this review. It believe you left this review for the wrong company - FreshBooks is an invoice-centric accounting solution for small, service based businesses. We are not a publishing company, or related to the sale of books. If you have any questions about FreshBooks, you can reach our Support Team at 1-866-303-6061 Monday through Friday, 8am-8pm EST or support@freshbooks.com. ^DM

Books are easily available online. We don't need to rush to market in dense crowd and waste our time, its quick and simple. This part is most favo one. I can easily get desired books whenever i want them. Books are my life and this software is my oxygen.
In order to fetch some real valuable books. Its pretty hard and nonsense too. Kindly keep updating your app time to time.

Control and management of invoices and accounting books
It allows a complete control of the accounting that is used in the company, as well as the invoicing of it. Allowing the editing of invoices through a system of templates.
It is a paid product that competes against open source software offered in the market, through an annual payment system.

I used to worked with editors and usually going to presentations of books and selling of books for children, the software make me realize administrative planning
I was looking for software to keep my books on my business that is a children books writer. In this matter, the software needs to manage expenses for presentations, invoices for appearances and books, with Freshbooks I found easy software to use that I can work with. In addition, I can customize the expenses and the invoices I can present; also I can set up the bank account to affiliate with the software for my business.
The software is working really well and I don't find anything wrong with the software. All I would like reports and invoices have more customization facilities.
