About
- FreshBooks is cloud-based invoicing and accounting software for small service businesses: create and send invoices, track billable time and expenses, accept online payments, and run accounting reports in a browser or mobile app.
- Higher tiers and paid add-ons add payroll, proposals, retainers and double-entry accounting features.
What it helps with
- Clients pay slowly and require manual chasing for outstanding invoices
- Billing for tracked time and expenses is manual and error-prone
- Expense records are scattered, with receipts needing manual entry and categorization
- Invoicing, time tracking, payments and payroll live in separate tools
- Switching from an existing accounting tool feels risky and laborious
- Collaborating with an outside accountant requires sharing access and data manually
