FreshBooks is cloud based accounting designed exclusively for the self employed. Spend less time on frustrating paperwork and more time doing the work that gets you paid!
Express Invoice is ideally suited for individuals, small or medium-sized firms that want to streamline their billing process and support multiple tax rates for multiple businesses
It is so easy accounting for small businesses and very good. Fresh books is affordable and attractive double entry with the best customer support on the market.
The worst part about the software is the electronic payment option. It only works with some banks, while other banks block it.
We found a true friend in FreshBooks and we are more than happy with the services we are getting from it.
No idea what the problem is, but the app's own reader does not appear to work at all.
The best thing about FresBooks is the Visualization and Look & Feel. It is really easy to use this software and it is not necessary a complete training because every button or feature is perfect.
Unfortunately, they recently "forced" a new format on all existing customers. The new format is far inferior to the Classic Freshbooks that was in place before.
Tracking expenses is easy and reporting them by collecting receipts is just a seamless experience. FreshBooks offers excellent security which helps keep all financial data safe and secure.
Still lack and if we forget to save it will be lost.
I love that its free for businesses with less than 5 employees. I love that its so easy to use, the platform is scalable and very robust for such a small program.
Newer version is full of bugs and no body bothers from NCH team to have a look on to their own forums.
Amazing, great product at a great price with great flexibility and lots of options.
Only real bad point is it doesn't do multiple currency invoicing in one place, you can work around it if you invoice different currencies with a different invoice number range.
This works great for a single computer to keep track of the business invoicing and payments. I like the easy convert of estimates to an invoice.
Also you can use it across devices but only ones with windows or apple os, this means no tablet or phone because they are android. I don,t really mind because it means no work outside the house.
The sound quality of the most detail to adjust to the result is the occasion to get beautiful results.
Honestly, I had few problems, but I would advise people who are easily frustrated to hang in there—once you get the hang of it, you will find it so simple.
Andrew T.: Hi, my name is Andrew. I'm the Chief Executive Officer at ATS Group. I give FreshBooks a rating of four. All right, so we used quite a lot of different softwares, FreshBooks being one of those softwares. Before we moved to FreshBooks, we were using a software known as Ways. We moved to FreshBooks because FreshBooks was designed to be for clients who want to do their own bookkeeping with us. Just providing them with guidance on doing so. It was more ideal for those kind of clients. FreshBooks is a pretty easy software to use. That's one of the reasons why we decided to use it for our clients who wanted to do their own bookkeeping. It's a very simple, very user-friendly. It allows for our clients to be able to do their books with little or no assistance from us, and it's quite ideal for entrepreneurs or business owners that wish to do their own accounting. Plus, they get very great support from the FreshBooks team. The process to get started using with FreshBooks was pretty simple. First of all, we were contacted by one of the reps at FreshBooks. They gave us a tutorial on the product, how it's used, the benefits of the product, and things like that. And then they guided us in setting up the product and they offer a lot of training. Their portal provides you with ongoing training and ongoing support. So the setup and use of the FreshBooks was quite easy and simple. So my advice to anybody looking for any new software, FreshBooks, or any other software out there is first of all, do your research. Read reviews such as this one right now so you can compare. Not every software is ideal for everyone, so what's ideal for me may not necessarily ideal for you, but once you compare the software, see what they offer, know the advantages, disadvantages, the pros and the cons, and that's one of the most important things to do. Then of course, all of these companies, FreshBooks included, normally give you a trial period. So you can actually try the software out. So you can do a test run and you can do side-by-side trials. So you can be using FreshBooks on one side, another accounting software on the other side. Compare both of them to see which one works best for you. And then after that you can go ahead and make a decision as to which one you want to move forward with.
Prioritize real-user-identified key features according to your needs to find your best fit.
