“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.

“Good tool for small business”

Pros

This program is incredibly intuitive. The interface and dashboard are user-friendly making navigation and detailed exploration a breeze.

Cons

Reporting could be problematic especially in a larger and more complex business context. It might be less efficient and comfortable for bigger e-commerce businesses with extensive inventory tracking needs.

“Great Invoicing Software for Designers”

Pros

Im thrilled with the feature that allows me to create proposals complete with pictures and a signature line for clients. Plus the app is fantastic.

Cons

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.

“Good User Friendly Business for Sole Proprietorships”

Pros

The softwares functions are incredibly user-friendly even for those with limited accounting knowledge. Plus it includes handy features like built-in mileage tracking.

Cons

Report customizability is limited which can be frustrating for advanced users. Additionally the autocategorization of items is often incorrect and theres no requirement for users to review every transaction leading to potential misclassifications.

“automated billing wins”

Pros

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.

Cons

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