User friendliness, layout and design, overall easy of use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshBooks?

Inability to set up clients as non-taxable and lack of a POS system. Would also like to be able to "tab" on invoices without having to "mouse" to fields. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about FreshBooks?

The system is simple and looks great. Not much else. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshBooks?

Their leadership is terrible and they will introduce changes on the system without anyone agreeing to them or providing alternatives. We have been customers for years but they just decided to switch their payment gateway Stripe and know every single customer has to create a new Stripe account — doubling all work on compliance, FINCEN, rates and more. Their support doesn't care and just said "accept or quit". They will not care for how long you have been a customer, they are egocentrical and think they are above humankind.

"Bookkeeping Made Easy - and Pretty"
5/5
What do you like best about FreshBooks?

Easy integration with bank and the recurring invoice options. User interface is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshBooks?

If I make a change in notes on a specific invoice as a one off, it saves it automatically and will be the same on future ones. This results in me needing to rework the invoice notes. The mileage app is spotty in functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very easy to use for someone new to accounting"
5/5
What do you like best about FreshBooks?

I use to use Quickbooks Online. However, I found it was too much for me, as I do not have an accounting background, and own a small business. After checking out other competitors, and some open-source software, I decided on Freshbooks. I could not be happier for my choice. The software is very easy to use, and there support is TOP NOTCH. There is no install, so it's just a matter of using your web browser, and it was very easy to integrate it with my bank accounts. I use it on a daily basis, and I cannot recommend this software enough, and it's perfect for my small business needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A User-Friendly Solution for Small Business Accounting"
5/5
What do you like best about FreshBooks?

I have no accounting experience yet find FreshBooks easy to navigate. I’m a longtime user of the customizable invoicing system. FreshBooks offers excellent customer support – my most recent experience was easy and efficient. With FreshBooks, tracking expenses is simple and straightforward. You can upload receipts, categorize expenses, and mark them as billable to clients. Overall, I'm a huge fan of its user-friendly interface, robust invoicing features, and comprehensive customer support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshBooks?

For many years I found it very affordable, not so much in recent years Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The FreshBooks customer support is by far the best I've experienced. They respond quickly and go above and beyond to help with any difficulties I experience. I'm very impressed.

"Service is the key"
4.5/5
What do you like best about FreshBooks?

The help I've received from live people has been excellent. I'm new to bookkeeping apps or any serious bookeeping all together. The people I've spoken with from before I started and now that I am using the app has exceded expectations - patient, anxious to help and find a solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshBooks?

Expenses, outgoing money is fine. Incoming money, deposits, refunds seem to need more steps using invoice workarounds.

I want to look at my bank entry and put it into the appropriate client, project, incoming money, outgoing money columns quickly and easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent, Easy Bookkeeping for Small Businesses"
5/5
What do you like best about FreshBooks?

Freshbooks is an excellent platform for small businesses to manage their finances. It's simple to set up, easy to generate profit and loss statements, invoice clients, custom categorize expenses (and batch them), and their customer support is superb! Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshBooks?

I do wish it pulled income in automatically from bank account. My only complaint. It only shows up if you've invoiced a client, otherwise it's a manual entry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Product, Even Better Support"
5/5
What do you like best about FreshBooks?

I've been using FreshBooks for years now, and I can't say enough good things about the platform. It's an incredibly intuitive and well-designed tool for managing finances, especially for small businesses. The features are comprehensive, from invoicing to expense tracking, and it makes the entire process of managing finances much easier and streamlined.

What truly sets FreshBooks apart, though, is its exceptional customer support. Anytime I've had a question or needed assistance, their support team has gone above and beyond to help. The employees are knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in ensuring you have a great experience with the product. It's rare to find a company with both an outstanding product and such dedicated tech support, and FreshBooks excels in both areas.

Highly recommended! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about FreshBooks?

Lack of integration with other SaaS products. Seems most other SaaS products have a quickbooks, zero, zoho integration, wish they'd integrate with FB Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
