I like how it is user friendly, the look of the software and it has the basics when it comes to tracking income and sending invoices and proposals
Features missing would be there are no automations for emails or scheduling which programs like Dubsado and Honeybook do.

FreshBooks
Good for small business, lacking some features, never received the latest UI update
- Time saving
- Easy to submit hourly timesheets - Easy to generate invoices - Detailed reports for accounting and taxes
- No scheduling - Removing Paypal as a payment method - Poor UI - If you have a lot of clients and projects under each client the interface can be messy

Easy to use, best automatic invoice follow up scheduling. My clients love having their own personalized client website, no more calls asking for a copy of receipt or invoice.
Quick, easy to use, fast updates, clients website link to see their invoices.
Not being able to customize invoice beyond Task/Item labels. The fact that you can do Purchase Orders and link them to an specific job. Doesn't have Sub Totals, clients really like to be able to see grand total broken into segments.

Integration with customers' books, as well as the option to include team members in the layout, are all included. On the subject of Application Programming Interfaces. It appeals to me since it brings everything together in one convenient location. The entire software is so simple to use that anyone can learn how to use it.
I appreciate how user-friendly it is, as well as the appearance of the program, and that it has the essentials when it comes to monitoring money and sending invoices and proposals. It's a really amazing piece of software that provides quick alerts. Excels in the area of financial reporting. When it comes to bank reconciliation, the general ledger is really helpful. Excellent in regard to project accounting.
The absence of features like as email automation and scheduling, which are provided by applications such as Dubsado and Honeybook, would be an example. One thing I'd want the developers to improve on is making sure that updates are made at the very least within one hour and not much longer.

To be able to charge for the projects, keeping a record of the payments made, thus being able to keep a clean accounting between input and expenses, to measure the benefits of each job performed.
Like every entrepreneur I have worked in several projects with work teams, in the area of systems and others, but a common denominator is the need to have clear finances where you have total control of the collection for work to keep the project afloat , and that's where FreshBooks comes in, an application that behaves perfectly, allows you to customize invoices to suit the company and the client and if you use them with applications such as paypal you can charge quickly and securely for the work done, scheduling payments and measuring the times, is a key tool to ensure the success of the projects in which you work.
The services offered are missing several tools to be considered as an accounting application in its entirety, since you will need to work with other software to complete the task, be it paypal for payments or other applications for accounting and tax payments, if they achieve fill this, they will be on the top of the market.
