Was able to create invoices directly from the app. > > **Cons**: Lack of ability to generate purchaee orders > > Awesome. Great software for small businesses ----- ### "Freshbooks is a perfect fit for your small business" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *July 29, 2025* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10 > > **Pros**: There are several things to like about freshbooks: creating consistent invoices, the ease of setting up a client, quick status reports for performance and outstanding invoices, and the simplicity of having employee expenses inputted are all faciliated in an easy, clean interface. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately, once you get to a certain point in billings, you need to reconcile with other tools for accountants to access what they need. This year, Freshbooks (or Quickbooks more likely) took away the ability to integrate into QuickBooks which has caused us to stop using Freshbooks after 15+ years. We just outgrew it as our billings increased substantially, but it was great for a really long time. > > I am one of a number of partners that invoice clients for work we have undertaken, and typically create around 10 invoices a month. I also use Freshbooks to track all business expenses, including software, contractors, rent, etc. ----- ### "Great value if you need everything it offer" — 4.0/5 > **Eric** | *June 2, 2025* | Professional Training & Coaching | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: Freshbooks is intuitive to use and has a ton of ancillary features that will be useful to service-based businesses. I liked how easy it was to send proposals, convert them to estimates or invoices, and schedule payments. The ability to track the profitability of each project by accounting for labour and other expenses is very handy too. > > **Cons**: For solopreneurs, it's expensive for what it does. A monthly fee in addition to a high credit card processing fee is a lot to stomach unless you need a lot of the ancillary features that FreshBooks offers. > > Overall, it wasn't the perfect fit for me as a solopreneur, but it would be worth considering for a simple business that spends a lot of time on rudimentary bookkeeping and invoicing tasks. ----- ### "Fresh start with Freshbooks" — 4.0/5 > **Ray** | *November 10, 2025* | Accounting Software | Recommendation rating: 3.0/10 > > **Pros**: Really simple to use interface. Easy to enter time, projects and expenses and great reporting tools to analyze the data > > **Cons**: There isnt much to dislike about this software, the three years i used it daily and loved it and recommended > > Its such a refreshijg software to use and very simple and user friendly ux. Easy to navigate through the application ----- ### "FreshBooks is a Trustworthy Software Option" — 4.0/5 > **Colleen** | *June 5, 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I liked that FreshBooks is well known and a trusted provider for business accounting software, and offers many features. > > **Cons**: I felt like there may be other softwares that could offer more features related to operating a Canadian business. > > Overall I was impressed with FreshBooks, and found the software to be straightforward to navigate and implement. ----- Page: 1 / 182\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.ca/software/142390/freshbooks?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.ca/software/142390/freshbooks) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | ja | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | | sv | | ----- ## Structured Data
