Overall Satisfaction with FreshBooks

We utilize FreshBooks and have integrated it with Authorize.Net to bill and capture payments for all of our clients. We also utilize the end data to provide our accounting team with the information they need. Features like invoice reminders and online payments are crucial in ensuring cash flow is properly managed.

QuickBooks was too much for what we needed. It's really targeted more at the accountant than me running my business. I just needed an invoicing system that was dead simple and that's what FreshBooks provides. I also tested out PayPal invoicing and it was a nightmare to utilize. FreshBooks was inexpensive and simple.
I believe FreshBooks the perfect solution for companies who wish to automate their invoicing online. I'm not sure that it fits if you've already had entire accounting platforms implemented across your small business or if you're an enterprise corporation. I've honestly not run into any limitations with the platform outside of features that it's not primarily utilized for - like expense tracking or overall business financials. But I do wish they'd move in that direction!
