Integration with customers' books, as well as the option to include team members in the layout, are all included. On the subject of Application Programming Interfaces. It appeals to me since it brings everything together in one convenient location. The entire software is so simple to use that anyone can learn how to use it.

Pros

I appreciate how user-friendly it is, as well as the appearance of the program, and that it has the essentials when it comes to monitoring money and sending invoices and proposals. It's a really amazing piece of software that provides quick alerts. Excels in the area of financial reporting. When it comes to bank reconciliation, the general ledger is really helpful. Excellent in regard to project accounting.

Cons

The absence of features like as email automation and scheduling, which are provided by applications such as Dubsado and Honeybook, would be an example. One thing I'd want the developers to improve on is making sure that updates are made at the very least within one hour and not much longer.

Pros

I can easily log client hours and accept invoice payments

Cons

The reporting and generating invoice features need some work. The easiest way to generate invoice for billable hours is through the time tracker which is annoying.

As a small time business owner, I appreciate Freshbooks offers so many amazing features at a fraction of the cost. The software is user friendly. I can export invoices as opposed to typing each one. Freshbooks also integrates with my Quickbooks account. There is also a 30 day trial period that allows businesses to get familiar with the software and try before buying.
