    Excellent invoicing software for the SMB

    Date: Sep 13 2021

    Summary: Overall, I can't recommend this software enough to any SMB. One thing that gets overlooked is how I've never experienced downtime. It's a really reliable product.

    Positive: I appreciate how easy it is to set up a new client then invoice them with an option to pay online. It's also incredibly user-friendly for the client, so I never have to field questions like "where do I put in my credit card info again?" I also appreciate the companion app, which is not just a responsive version of the website. It's lighter on features but has all the features you need on the go.

    Negative: This is minor, but I wish they would tell me when I reached the limit of new clients on my account before I tried to set up a new one. Currently, the process is that I set up a new client and when I push "submit" they direct me to upgrade my plan. That's annoying. Just tell me I'm at my limit before I put in my info so I can archive an old client first.

    Freshbooks is very well received by small companies

    Date: Jul 30 2021

    Summary: Overall, Freshbooks allows us to handle any type of billing package in our company. We can securely and justifiably keep all the income through Freshbooks and it automatically generates all the accounting books for us and allows us to easily pull up our accounts and show our monthly reports.

    Positive: The platform is very simple and easy to use, all its features and tools are very intuitive. They handle a large amount of information without the need to present any kind of blocking in the system. The price is incredible, Freshbooks fits what it offers. The best CDFi option is included and projects are handled much better.

    Negative: They should translate the platform to other languages as some of our users don't speak English and it has been difficult for them to interact with Freshbooks. Otherwise this platform is amazing and can be manipulated by anyone.

    A must for growing businesses

    Date: Apr 09 2021

    Summary: Very happy so far - FreshBooks now forms an integral part of our business. The service integrates well with other key tools we use and we confidently recommend it to all our clients.

    Positive: FreshBooks have managed to bed down the Quote to Cash (Proposals - Invoice - Receipt - Report) process in a very elegant and concise way, hats off to them. We adopted FreshBooks after extensive evaluation and despite the price, the value they provide makes it worth it.

    Proposal are a definite win though it would be nice if we could customize/personalize the sending domain name.

    Negative: Not a negative - a wish rather that they would allow online payments in South Africa. The pandemic has minimized movement for all and integration with the local banks#paywalls would help speed up payments and automate reconciliations.

    A Great Tool for Invoicing Clients

    Summary: I like FreshBooks and it allows me to easily invoice my clients, integrate between my other systems and provides several helpful reports.

    Great Product!

    Date: Oct 22 2020

    Summary: I am happy with this product and would recommend it to any small business. However, as your company grows, you will likely grow out of the product and need to advance to another accounting software.

    Positive: This invoicing and accounting software is a great step toward automation. We switched from using Excel and Word to using FreshBooks and have been very pleased.

    Negative: The subscription-based model makes it more expensive over the long-run.

    Keeping our accounting with Freshbooks is a simple thing to accomplish

    Date: Mar 21 2021

    Summary: Freshbooks is optimizable to work comfortably with different world currency systems, which seems advisable if you are covering remote project accounting. Freshbooks also has in its favor a section dedicated to the management of digital signatures, with which we can mobilize our documentation faster.

    Positive: Freshbooks works with high-performance financial analytics, from which you can create advanced statistics showing the billing and closing cycles of all dates booked in the system, so you can access the information as often as needed. Freshbooks quickly manages file exports.

    Negative: Freshbooks does not have good integrations to other ledger management services, which is noticeable when trying to adapt formats from the Xero platform to Freshbooks, whose formatting varies greatly. Freshbooks also does not include an expense tracker integrated directly from the control panel.
