would recommend this appPros
The most helpfull thing i found in freshbooks is that it helps us managing our bills effectively and you don't require any professional to do this for you any more. It is very good for small business.
Another great feature of Freshbooks is the availability of Support Tickets. I was very pleased with the opportunity to change the standard templates for emails.
The UI is awesome ,easy to use, also that you know when a user has read the invoice is great. The app is awesome as well.
Pros
The seamless integration and robust features of the software are what fit the bill for this particular business situation perfectly.
Accounting and Inventory management is good and good to learn. Keep making it more user friendly and secure.
For me, my start up requires a few hours a night of planning and joyful basic book keeping. Until my business is really established it’s great they have a Free version to help me get off the ground.
Cons
I emailed them about this dangerous lack of basic security features and as of December 2019 Freshbooks says there is no plan to add two factor authentication in the future.
I had a very difficult time using the bookkeeping software on the program. I couldn't customize taxes, and I found that because I have no background in accounting I was really messing up frequently.
The features and functionalities are limited. It takes little bit more time set up and charges on each transaction and need to pay an account after second client.
Cons
No software can be installed on the office PC or server; so no data can be stored locally. You can not work offline at any circumstances.
There are alot of features that are unavailable for my organization and sometimes it is hard to customize.
Or, an application to work offline when there's limited internet connection.
