Overview

FreshBooks is accounting for people who sell their time: freelancers, consultants and agencies who live on invoices, tracked hours and expense receipts. Its invoicing is the best-looking in the category, with retainers, proposals and late-payment reminders built in. It is intentionally lighter on double-entry depth than QuickBooks or Xero — accountants sometimes grumble — and client limits on lower tiers push growing practices upward.
