Reliable Accounting solution for small businesses
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates FreshBooks from other similar products?
It stands out because of ease of use and relatively simple features that favor small companies. For example, it does not very complicated features and does not much time to grasp how it works.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The invoicing function is my favorite because it saves time and offers a polite way to ask our online clients to pay for their services. The invoicing process is straightforward, and it encourages online payments. I also like the expense tracking feature since it makes us conscious of the business expenses and respond accordingly. The time tracking also gives insight on the time required to handle a project and help us adjust the rates when necessary.
What do you dislike most about this product?
I find the reporting feature inadequate because the reports are critical and could help us make better business decisions. The cost could go up if your small business grows fast because of the restrictions on the number of users. The Lite plan does not offer the typical double-entry accounting system and some crucial features such as the bank reconciliation options, It is rather too simple.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
Understand your business needs and ensure you understand FreshBooks functions. Remember to read the terms and conditions and evaluate how business changes could be affected by them.

An excellent software for small businesses
Likeliness to Recommend
What differentiates FreshBooks from other similar products?
You manage to keep accounting in an easy and simple way, you can create invoices without many complications, has a great customer service that are always ready to answer your questions and solve problems, mostly is simple to use fulfills what it promises and helps me to feel less stressed in my day to day with respect to work.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
The billing issue has been very tedious, but with freshbook it became more bearable. On the topic of Application Programming Interfaces. It appeals to me because it brings everything together in one convenient place. All the software is so easy to use that anyone can learn to use it; creating invoices based on time recorded; and single invoices or flat rate pricing. easy billing and time tracking. I was able to integrate it with Teamwork project management software so that more complex jobs that require detailed time tracking versus tasks and milestones could be tracked there and then my time could be exported to Freshbooks.
What do you dislike most about this product?
The absence of features like email automation and scheduling, which are provided by apps like Dubsado and Honeybook, would be an example. One thing I would like to see the developers improve is to make sure that updates take at least an hour and not much longer. The feature I like the least is that this software does not create quarterly tax estimates that are required in accounting.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
The product is very easy to use and intuitive. the integration into our current business process was seamless and quick. The ability to keep this together allows for a quick glance and ensures everything is ready to go. I like creating invoices and also the general ledger I like the most as it has been a great help.
Pros
- Helps Innovate
- Reliable
- Performance Enhancing
- Trustworthy
