FreshBooks will assist any for-profit, non-profit, ministry, or church in effectively communicating with federal and state governments, addressing companies that misuse finances, and streamlining workflow processes. This is based on the experience of a global organization that has been using FreshBooks since its inception. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The message expresses some confusion but ultimately praises the effectiveness of FreshBooks in Canada compared to other platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ongoing reconciliation process makes it really efficient and customer service has been outstanding! I also love how aesthetically pleasing the program is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
My biggest gripe is that when I create an estimate for say $ 100,000 and want my initial invoice to be 10% of the estimate the program calls it a deposit then requires that I set up a pay schedule which I always have to go in later to edit. So Progress Billing isn't as functional as it could be. In addition to that, it doesnt change the invoice number so I add letters to that invoice number as I progress bill. I have found a work around but had to get creative and had to explain to some of my clients. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love that this product is easy to set up and use. I have a need to track time to the minute, and this makes it simple. I need to see my reports by time, and be able to separate projects within clients by time. This also allows for easy invoicing and ease of keeping track of those invoices. I don't need every function under. the sun. What it does, it does well for me at a reasonable price. I've had one minor issue to connect with customer support, and they were super responsive. This has been a reliable tool for my business. I use it every day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I haven't found any downsides for me. I'm a business of one person. I don't know how it works in a business with multiple employees. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
What I love most about FreshBooks is its user friendly interface that makes creating and sending invoices a breeze. The software is designed with simplicity in mind, featuring giant green buttons and a well thought out Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While FreshBooks is a solid accounting solution, there are areas where it could improve to better meet the needs of its users. By addressing these limitations Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Planning invoices and making my own reports are two of FreshBooks' most appealing features. Even individuals without accounting background will find its user interface to be straightforward and simple to use, making financial management a joy. In addition to keeping track of spending, I am also adept at managing invoices and generating financial reports; our company has also been successful in performing sales tax computations. I really enjoy how you can sync your bank transactions so you always know when your accounts are up-to-date. The most time-saving feature is the ability to collect payments immediately from the invoice. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I think the reports could be more user-friendly if they were less complicated; having Fathom reports makes them seem complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Freshbooks allows you to quickly setup everything you need for a small to medium, service based, business. They have all the things you need to get running, including payment processing, invoice sending, estimates, and more!
Customer service is very friendly.
All services are reliable enough for me to stay in business.
They are not owned by Intuit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Freshbooks is consistently changing, which causes you to need to change to!
Three years in and I'm on my second embedded processor. The second embedded processor has now had created a second, separate, account for literally no reason.
They have increased their pricing to be just as high as the more capable QuickBooks Online. Their pages prompt you to refresh, instead of just refreshing themselves.
Their banking connections just don't work sometimes, and they'll not be helpful nor when cominicative trying to get that fixed. I had random sign in attempts on my online banking for almost two weeks before FB finally moved me to another sync service! Random sign in attempts on online banking should NEVER EVER HAPPEN. EVER.
On top of this, they engage in the same lies about processing time as all payment handlers. You will always *actually* get your money hours or days after they "send" it. We all know this could be instant, but they're making money on the float.
Mobile app will not let you view an invoice without editing it. Mobile app forces you into a weird set of options when you want to save an invoice. Mileage tracking in the app is very unreliable. Not all services available on the website, including the browser version, are available in the app.
The free accountant user is not capable of doing all the tasks and accountant would need.
Your supposed salesperson will not respond to emails following rate increases. In fact, they will never talk to you again after they give you 3 to 6 months discounted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Absoutely nothing anymore. They keep destroying the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
With every update they keep REMOVING features, gatekeeping and charging more for others.
They remove payment gateways, force updates, REQUIRE you to use their payment gateway, "accidently have bugs" in their system that make you lose clients stored payment information and overall simply just make life very MISERABLE.
Do me a favor, if you're considering Freshbooks, save yourself from this HORRIBLE company and find an alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It has all of the fundamentals and none of the fluff. When I was a paying customer of Quickbooks, I felt like they were always tryign to sell me extra stuff I didn't really need. Freshbooks treats me like the paying customer I am, and not a sales lead extra junk.
I love the user interface. Not only does it allow me to do core functions in each designated section, but it also allows me to accomplish related tasks without leaving the section I am in.
It is a smart product all around. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I got bumped up to the middle tier too soon. Just because I have 6 clients doesn't mean my business is out of the woods, yet. I am still trying to make it sustainable and the fee jump was a bummer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Freshbooks has all the integrated functions I need to manage the financial aspects of my small business. Time entry and invoicing is a breeze. App based expense capture means I never lose a receipt. And decent financial reporting keeps track of my performance throughout the year. I tried Quickbooks and the accounting, timekeeping and invoicing capabilities in Freshbooks were simpler to use and more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Freshbooks is certainly not as customizable as the big name products. And some of its default choices (reporting on accrual basis when my business is cash basis only) is annoying. Reporting customization could also be better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
