Pros 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. First, I like the ease of implementation of FreshBooks. It helps us in executing our accounting duties with ease. For instance, we are able to manage our invoices perfectly using FreshBooks. Moreover, with FreshBooks, we track time and manage invoices easily. It is a great platform for us. FreshBooks is a great tool for invoicing clients either for one-time or recurring payments. There are several integrations, including my favorite one which is HubSpot CRM for tracking clients in their sales cycle. This invoicing and accounting software is a great step toward automation. We switched from using Excel and Word to using FreshBooks and have been very pleased. #1- The billing portal is easy to customize and allows to add a business logo. #2- Automatic payment processing and quick bill generator. #3- Auto Tax calculation for every invoice. Very easy to use and organizes your information well. It allows your customers to save their info and bill easily.		Pros & Cons from Real Users Pros Linking CRM and Zoho Invoice have been really nice. I am able to invoice from anywhere, pull reports from anywhere, etc. I can search across clients, customers, employees. Zoho Invoice offers the best and easiest way to generate invoices right from your mobile. An email invoice is also possible to send directly to the client. Local download can also be done in PDF file. I really like Zoho invoice. I've tried a half dozen solutions before starting with Zoho for one key feature: Zoho invoice is one of the only invoicing option (that I've found) that allows you to import a list of invoices as a CSV file. This means that I can export my invoice data from my spread sheet, upload and send invoices in one process. The current version integrates with their Zoho's CRM for your customers and there are some other CRM integrations available. You can create custom sort lists for invoices and they have a wide arrange of reports you can create for set periods. The integration of Square (which we actively use) and Stripe is helpful. There are other integrations like Forte for ACH payments (which we've used). Customer service has been very good. When we've had an issue we've been able to reach someone right away for assistance. The monthly cost is very affordable (around $9 + tax /month currently). Is a great option for invoicing for a business. It's very cost effective and isn't hard to set up and use. Cons Currently, everything is working very well and I have no complaints about Zoho Invoice. It offers a great platform to generate and send invoices. The import invoices function requires fields to be in the correct format (Text for text, number for number and currency for currency) or the item is rejected. This can take a little trouble shooting initially. The HTML templates for emails are not appealing to me and they are difficult to change/customize. While you can edit the templates, you cannot create new templates. The settings/preferences are not intuitive (for me) They are in a whole different section/area which requires a bit of navigation and when you are done with the settings you are have to navigate back to where you were. For me I prefer to have my brand more prominent on our software which this wasn't very doable.
