Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • This is a great way to pay all our bills in one place from multiple sources. It is intuitive to use . You can set up two or three way approvals with this system to streamline your approval system.
  • I like how easy it is to add new invoices to be paid. Once the invoices are in the system it automatically matches them to vendors. This can help quicken the data entry process. It also allows us to maintain internal controls by allowing a remote worker to make the payments and separate the work. Being able to pay vendors via electronic fund transfers is great and the process to request the vendor set it up is easy on our end.
  • We are a small non-profit without a dedicated administration or accounting team, and bill.com has been a great way to easily pay invoices, even to international donors. Customer support has been prompt when we've had questions or need assistance.
  • I like that Bill.com connects to QuickBooks and is user-friendly for people who don't have extensive experience in accounting. The features are intuitive, and tech support is available via chat when I need it.
  • - The image processing feature works excellently, as soon as a new bill is uploaded, it is converted into digital text and saved. Makes it easy to save and forget bills.

Cons

  • They don't send out true remittances, only notifications. It would be nice if they notification included the invoice numbers being paid and all credits taken. Integration with Quickbooks Online is a little clunky and needs some work.
  • Sometimes I have to help vendors set up the electronic funds transfer information. It can be confusing on their end sometimes.
  • The paid service can be a bit pricey, but I have not found a cheaper alternative that allows for online approvals.
  • From an A/R perspective, it is cumbersome for customers to connect and pay their bills using the platform. If they made it possible to pay via credit card or bank transfer instead of going through so many steps to sign up, my customers would be happier to use bill.com to pay their bills.
  • - I would appreciate some data analytics on my past usage and some suggestions about how I can reduce the spending on some things.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • The software offers a simple and intuitive user interface that makes it easy to create and manage invoices, track payments, and manage clients. The mobile app makes it easy to access the software from anywhere, and the integration with other popular business apps, such as PayPal and Stripe, makes it even more convenient. Freshbooks also offers a range of accounting features, such as tracking expenses, generating reports, and managing taxes.
  • The platform is very simple and easy to use, all its features and tools are very intuitive. They handle a large amount of information without the need to present any kind of blocking in the system. The price is incredible, Freshbooks fits what it offers. The best CDFi option is included and projects are handled much better.
  • The best finance software for streamlining invoicing process for clients and time tracking. It is highly reliable in completing complex financial processes and automating tasks.
  • FreshBooks have managed to bed down the Quote to Cash (Proposals - Invoice - Receipt - Report) process in a very elegant and concise way, hats off to them. We adopted FreshBooks after extensive evaluation and despite the price, the value they provide makes it worth it. Proposal are a definite win though it would be nice if we could customize/personalize the sending domain name.
  • Freshbooks works with high-performance financial analytics, from which you can create advanced statistics showing the billing and closing cycles of all dates booked in the system, so you can access the information as often as needed. Freshbooks quickly manages file exports.

Cons

  • The customer service can be slow to respond and not very helpful. The prices are also higher than other accounting software programs.
  • They should translate the platform to other languages as some of our users don't speak English and it has been difficult for them to interact with Freshbooks. Otherwise this platform is amazing and can be manipulated by anyone.
  • I currently don't have any dislike since they upgraded the interface which was one area that I really wanted to see upgraded.
  • Not a negative - a wish rather that they would allow online payments in South Africa. The pandemic has minimized movement for all and integration with the local banks#paywalls would help speed up payments and automate reconciliations.
  • Freshbooks does not have good integrations to other ledger management services, which is noticeable when trying to adapt formats from the Xero platform to Freshbooks, whose formatting varies greatly. Freshbooks also does not include an expense tracker integrated directly from the control panel.
