Overall, it did a great job of sending invoices and collecting online payments or handling recording of check payments.
Ease of use, focused functionality. It allowed me to send professional looking invoices and track payments, while giving my clients a way to see that their invoices were closed out on my end.
Sometimes the displays were a bit confusing or you had to click around to get to what you wanted.

Great accounting software for the mom & pop business, small cap.
the ease of use and creating copies of existing invoices which speeds up repeat invoices.
No check writing capabilities. Sometimes glitches with importing expenses

Over-all this cloud accounting software makes the recording of business transactions real-time.
FreshBooks is always "fresh" in the sense that all accounting entries are properly balanced and managed. This cloud accounting software makes the accounting easier and efficient. I like the reports it provides from the Debit and Credit till the Income Statement reports. All business transactions are perfectly accounted for and you can closely monitor the "balancing" of business operations particularly the financial aspects.
The software can be accessed online anytime and anywhere so the management can easily check of what's going on with the business. The only concern that I have in mind is the license fee because I believe it could be affordable to any business types if the price range would be lessened.

Using this tool has been a life saver, setting up recurring invoices for my hosting and other recurring services, also helps this freelancer have a more professional look when sending estimates and invoices!
Recurring Invoices Customer Management Always adding new features
Wish they had different fees based on how you pay, cash, check, card, or paypal.

One of the best or straight forward accounting solution. Best for those who have small business and small accounting statement for complex accounting it get difficult to us to understand. Easy online payment facilities through credit card.
I have seen that something bug occur in mail while sending the files. Improve the online payment method or add some other online category into it.

Intuitive and easily managed by one or multiple users.
It's all web/cloud based so you're limited to operating online.

Tracking and invoicing. My employees can go in and check invoicing and up to date payments and work to be done.
I love being able to access it from anywhere as it resides in the "cloud". I can check invoices and payments easily and quickly. :-)

Easy to use piece of software. Check out the free trial to see if it is a good fit
There is no free version. Went back to wave app instead as it is free.

Using two subscriptions Freshbooks allowed us to invoice and collect payment in two currencies from our single website. We found the service to be efficient and user-friendly.
Easy way to create professional looking invoices and offer online payment to clients.
We were not able to easily or seamlessly integrate it with Quickbooks online.

Makes getting paid easier.
The fact that I can see when someone opened the email is the best feature ever. No more wondering and if they do mention that an invoice wasn't received, I know its not the truth.
pricing levels .. I think I am grandfathered into an old price.. but newer pricing may be a better deal. Gotta check!

Work is easily manageable now and tracking progress is represented very amazingly. sending invoices to clients is very easy to manage and check
Tracking orders progress is very easy and sending invoices. Amazing grpahical user interface has made it very attractive and east to understandable. Tasks are easily manageable even when they are in bulk.
Freshbooks isn't very good for amazon seller or different Ebay seller those who have stock and inventory system, but overall it's an amazing software no doubt.

All features are good but I like the online transaction feature as online transactions are allowed with full security of Freshbooks.
It's the best accounting software that is simple to use. We can work at any platform whether its windows, android, ios. We are not restricted to a single device, just sign in with your user key and manage your accounts from anywhere in this world. We can track records of our sale and purchase through the graphical view represented in this software. Online bank transfers are also easily done by this software. Bills are easy to create and record with all GST details.
It sometimes crashes without any notification but its auto-save feature records and saves our data securely. It could be a bug I think.

People are working full time and part-time jobs. Most educators open up their own small business on the side. Check out fresh books. It really cost you nothing...This software program is for small businesses to do invoices with ease. It is FREE for the first 30 days. You can't be that. I normally don't try free stuff because you get tricked into using your credit card and being accidentally charged. You DONOT need a credit card to use for free. You can create reports on your invoices, expenses, time tracking, payments, projects and being able to develop a variety of reports. You can also do online communication and collaborate with your team. Save some money and check it out!

Good product but very buggy and major issues persist for months (or years). They make you go through so many hoops just to troubleshoot.
Invoicing Time Tracker Online payments
Two majors issues that are making me look elsewhere. 1. Time tracker doesn't always work. You pause your time and return later and it is still going. There is a huge disconnect between the app and website time tracker which causes sync issues. I've used a couple of other time tracker software tools and I didn't have this issue. It is important to have accurate time and I constantly have to adjust. 2....

Invoicing and payments. We have increased the time our clients pay 100%. No longer waiting on a check or someone forgetting to send us payment.
I love how easy it is to time my work and record it for invoicing. Sending reminders to my clients.I also like how you can see when your client has reviewed or paid your invoice.I highly recommend using Freshbooks to any small business that needs to collect money in a painless fashion.
I don't really dislike anything about it,but I wish it were easier for my virtual assistant to create invoices on my behalf

I have been using fresh books for over a year now. It has made billing painless for me as I was tired of making sheets after sheets to maintain a database and then bill them accordingly.

I have never been a big fan of accounting, or the software. I hated one software only being for PC's, especially when I work between a PC and a MAC. With Freshbooks I have options to work from wherever, as it's cloud based - along with my phone. It's easier than ever to keep tabs on the expenses with automatic importing from your bank account. Most importantly it makes it easy to add a copy of your receipt to the expense in the unlikely event of an audit.
- Ease of billing - Clients think it's easy - Can accept CC or Cash - Can send paper bills - Clients can log in to check their account
- The CC fees are a little high - No where to upload contracts to get signed.
