It does my invoicing and helps prepare balance sheets.
Freshbooks makes it relatively easy to invoice, and the integration with Gmail and MailChimp is useful. It's easy to track paid/unpaid invoices and view client history.
It's lacking an option to attach invoices as PDFs, which my clients have been requesting. I'm also not really a fan of the new interface.

Organize my daily tasks and prepare all my paper work with the clients
The cloud base is the most favorite part. The integrations specifically trello and slack is my favorite ones as my team work on it. Also the UI is good for non-developers to use and learn, it get familiar to them very quickly.
Some time the integrations take long time to invoice, specifically with trello and team work so developers may take them some time to get the immediate task to log on it (there's work around but we hope have permanent solution), i hope i get some sort of templates to use when post a card on trello it will.

In our company, the FreshBooks tool is used to bill customers. The platform allows you to create financial statements, there are convenient and understandable tools for tracking expenses and receivables.
In my personal account FreshBooks can not prepare and send reports directly to the tax office. Also, the system does not have a financial calendar and management accounting functions for several accounts.

In our company, we use the services of the FreshBook application. With it, you can fully automate the process of billing customers. It is possible to create recurring bills and autopay. Mobile version available.
The first thing the FreshBooks online billing tool really lacks is the function to prepare and then send reports to tax. The second is that there is no tool to automatically fill in the details for personal identification cards.

Freshbooks has a great feel to it. Our accounting team reported that the time and effort it took to prepare reports. It's fast and flexible. Support is great and very prompt to o
The mobile app is not all it can be. I believe with a little more work to optimize its performance, this can be a great app. The pricing is good too.

FreshBooks has changed the way I look at my finances for my business. The tools available not only teach you the need to know items, but you are able to plan for the future and to gain insight into the true state of your business.
One of the best tools that I use for my daily income tracking is FreshBooks. It seamlessly integrates with Stripe to help me manage and prepare for tax season. There are so many resources and the support is simply brilliant.
I enjoy everything about the software. I was very timid at first - but once I started using the software I was blown away.

FreshBooks helps me run my reports and prepare TAX documents. I have been enjoying the app until the last update. I really love the app layout and all but its functionality is not so much what I bargained for.
I like how easy it is to navigate through the app after insering one's info and connecting with the expense accounts. It saves my time and allows for a beautiful user experience altogether. What I love most is the standby customer service– it's really been helpful and effective.
The FreshBooks app was really not what I expected. It is always hanging, slowing down user time. At some point, it stops working completely even after user login. Please look into this part again.

I like how I am able to see a summary of my revenue and expenses. It helps me to prepare my Schedule C for tax purposes. I also like how it shows me the amount of time I have spent on any particular project.
When I meet with my accountant, it is often suggested that I use Quickbooks so they can set up a Chart of Accounts.

It's a very nice software to work with, I prepare a hole project, including costs, project estimate and expenses. Every one of this items are reflected on the invoice, at the end of the project, even with a remainder from the software.
The desk of the software is easy to understand and to work with. I can navigate on a proposal, invoices and estimates for any client I want. It's very easy to deal with the invoices with remainders and keeping track option for any costumer. In addition, I can accept any payment method possible.
The only thing I find out is the invoice system have to be made one at a time, is not an automated process, because of the characteristics of each costumer and vendors, it's a little bit time consumer

My company is a small one and we took off barely a year ago, FreshBooks makes it a lot more easy to prepare and organize my accounting books. Overall its a good product but I think I may have to get other software to compliment certain features.
It is a great tool for small businesses especially new ones. The interface is quite simple and does not great amount of time to go around it. One feature I like is the fact that you can easily connect it to your paypal account and and other credit cards making payments very easy. Being able to use your own logo on documents make them more professional and helps with branding.
You can not do reporting on the mobile app. I would be very glad if I can use the program offline. It would be good if you don't have to go back and forth doing settings for each client but rather be able to do a default setting that will apply to all clients.

It was a great starter software. It helped me understand how this type of software can make my job easier. I could print invoices, check, accept credit cards, use a mobile app and so much more. Eventually we needed a system that had robust inventory capabilities. I would still recommend for consultants, and individuals with small business and simple accounting needs. Great starter program!
I like all of it's capabilities to run my small home-business. I was able to track all my transactions in real time and prepare my taxes (sales tax, payroll tax, self-employment tax, etc. ) with great ease. This software is excellent for small to medium sized businesses

It has helped me prepare my proposals, invoice, keep track of time and expenses for each project - all in one software. I Did not like other softwares as I did not have much time to do intensive studying. I needed a software that was easy to learn, implement and incorporate in my work.
Easy to deploy and incorporate in the activities of my consultancy
Time tracking - confuses projects with the clients.

The benefits I have is the administrative capacity to support an internationalization campaign for my company, with a database that allows the management of projects that may arise with this strategic alliance
What I like the most about the software is that it covers all aspects of my company to compete internationally, send work proposals, prepare an estimate of the project, monitor the execution. Once the project is completed, invoice and collect by any available means. The most important thing is the control of expenses and the ability to make fixed payments, which allows us to focus on our work.
What I like the least is that the packages have a limited number of people with the ability to control software for small businesses. In addition, an extra payment must be made to delegate the responsibility to the administrator and due to the increase of clients, since the software starts in the jobs proposals

As a small business owner specializing in IT, rather than accounting - Freshbooks has allowed me to grow my business doing what I know best, and bringing accounting functions into an easy to use, easy to understand system. Billing is actually fun now with the time tracker. I can prepare invoices from my mobile device, from anywhere I am, and tracking expenses is comically easy.
Easy & fun to use Amazing user interface Multiple payment options for customers Ability to mail invoices through the Freshbooks service Ability for my accountant to interface directly with the software 24/7/365 Customer support is fantastic!
Ticketing system is a little limited No Project Management system
