“Easy platform to use for bill pay and payment tracking”
Pros
The interface is simple to navigate making bill payments and recurring billing effortless. The bill tracking feature is also excellent.
Cons
Since FreshBooks is its own accounting platform it doesnt integrate easily with QuickBooks which most CPAs use. Managing two platforms can be cumbersome.

“my review...”
Pros
This tool is simple to use and works well for a small business setup. The pricing feels like good value overall and I could see using it again later if we need something beyond this specific firm.
Cons
Didn't include everything we needed for our staff timesheets and project budget tracking so it wasn't a complete fit for that particular workflow.

“Horrible, non-existent, unresponsive support destroys the experience”
Pros
Its easy to use offers numerous integrations is affordable and does its job well (when it works).
Cons
Theres a lack of features rudimentary features cumbersome workflows and tons of bugs. The support is extremely unresponsive with requests going unanswered for weeks. The lack of support severely impacts what could otherwise be a good product. Unfortunately youll likely need support often due to bugs and inadequate documentation. Id advise steering clear of this product.

“First Accounting/Time Tracking Software”
Pros
The time tracking feature is straightforward and efficient helping me stay organized and understand where my time is spent. The dashboard and clientproject tracker are also invaluable tools.
Cons
Ive experienced some downtime and backend coding issues causing errors. Unfortunately Ive had to manually track my time and enter it afterward. Also Ive had trouble with my CIBC account blocking the software and I havent received assistance despite asking. More options for listing billable items on invoices would be helpful as I often need to manually adjust line items. Ive also struggled with marking expenses paid when adding them manually to an invoice.

“friendly dashboard”
Pros
It doesn't take much to get started. The dashboard feels friendly so using the tool comes naturally. You can handle a lot of tasks, from accounting to billing clients, without much hassle. When questions come up, their customer support is reachable through chat, email and even phone calls.
Cons
The new interface runs slowly. Since they're pushing everyone to switch over, it's been impacting how my customers access the system and make payments.

I wish I could add pictures through the app but its never worked for me. My CPA also mentioned that the back end for taxes and reconciling could be better.

Genuinely, it boosted how I handle billing and invoicing. I'm no longer stuck manually tracking everything or spending time creating invoices one by one. Their built in tools let me automate the workflow instead. It also feels dependable since they've been around as pioneers... so the process is tried and true.

The pricing was pretty steep at one point though it's much more affordable now.
