Making Time Tracking and Billing a Breeze

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates FreshBooks from other similar products?

Well, there isn’t much, but I’d say its invoicing automation really sets FreshBooks apart. It’s not that other tools can’t automate invoicing, but the way FreshBooks handles reminders and integrates them seamlessly with expenses makes cash flow management almost foolproof.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

I don't need to double-check my timesheets—it just syncs up beautifully, and I know my numbers are accurate when billing clients. There was this one instance where I had a rush tax project, and knowing that FreshBooks tracked every minute saved me from underbilling. I can’t overstate how comforting that is.

What do you dislike most about this product?

If you’re managing more detailed inventory for client supplies or assets, it’s not going to cut it.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

I recommend it, but take caution on its limitations with inventory. If that’s a key part of your accounting process, you might need an additional tool.

Pros

Helps Innovate
Caring
Transparent
Appreciates Incumbent Status
