About FreshBooks
FreshBooks began as invoicing software and it shows, in the best way. Polished invoices, time tracking, retainers, and project profitability serve freelancers and agencies who bill for hours, not inventory. Double-entry accounting arrived later and covers the essentials. Client limits on lower tiers pinch, but the billing workflow remains best-in-class.
