As an IT support company, we track our billable time as we work tickets, and FreshBooks allows us to record that time in real-time and automatically attaches it to our monthly client invoices with detailed ticket description and amount of time billed.
I wish we had the ability to provide access to our clients to see their current support amount in real-time throughout the month, that way any disputes or questions on charges could be handled as they appear and not up to a month later.

Freshbooks saved me time with the time tracking and monthly package tracking.
I loved that FreshBooks would do a monthly billing package and let you know if you went over the set hours so you can send an additional invoice. This is the only software that does this!!!
The accounting side of the product isn't the greatest. It is not robust, but it has the basics for businesses that don't need robust accounting.

FreshBooks
I have used fresh books since I've started my business in 2014. I started with the classic version.
The time tracking module is very useful especially since we can track time by individual employees. .
The expense tracking/cost code setup seems a little bit lacking. It's the only feature I would like to be better

Saves me a ton of time invoicing.
I like the time tracking features. Creating projects, adding tasks, and submitting time entries is very streamlined.
I wish that the tool were a bit cheaper. Also, if they added some more functionality regarding the project management functions, that would be great.

Time taken to raise estimates and chase invoices can be considered dead time. Freshbooks enables us to keep that time to a minimum.

Freshbooks keeps me organized with my clients, estimates, projects, time keeping, invoices and profits.
As Graphic Designer, my time keeping is essential to my business. The ability to track my time and then invoice according to that time spent is very valuable to me and my clients. Also being able to convert my estimates to invoices is a huge time saver!
I can't convert my estimates to working projects.

FreshBooks
is an accounting software that makes managing your small business easy, fast and secure
can help you support your results: much lower invoice rates than using methods like PayPal. The normal cost of using PayPal as a billing system is about 3% of the transaction, which can certainly be a lot for the self-employed person.
Less time in accounting and more time doing the work you love, it's simple and intuitive, so you'll spend less time on paperwork and surprise your clients with the professionalism of your invoices.
it does not allow you to make quarterly tax payment estimates, so you'll have to calculate them by hand or use a different program. In addition, there is the limitation of needing an Internet connection, but that is a minor problem nowadays.

FreshBooks
I have a small business and have used freshbooks for billing and tracking expenses
Save time
Best part is the auto recurring billing feature. Customer service is always very helpful and accessible
You have to upgrade to get more recurring billing accounts so sometimes I have to remove some accounts
