Overall Satisfaction with FreshBooks

We use Freshbooks to track time against projects for our consulting business. We also use Freshbooks to issue invoices to our clients on a periodic basis. The system is used by our employees and contractors to log their time and provides real-time visibility to time entries that we can provide to our customers on a timely basis.

Pros

  • Time Tracking - Simple, Intuitive, Easy to use.
  • Invoicing - Simple, Easy to Understand.
  • Online Payments - Can accept credit cards through multiple providers.

Cons

  • Accounting - The reports are very time and invoice centric. There are no easily accessible A/R, A/P type invoices, the data is there but must be manipulated manually.
  • Reporting - This could be stronger, more flexibility vs. the static pre-canned reports.
  • Simple to generate reports for our accounting.
  • Simple to generate reports and invoices for our clients.
  • No messy Excel spreadsheets.
  • Simple expense management and reporting.
Businesses which track time against projects are a perfect fit for the tool. The tool allows you to set a budget and employees for projects. You can assign a project rate or varying rates per employee depending on the project arrangement and this works hand in hand with the billing.
