Founded by Mike McDerment in 2003, FreshBooks started after he accidentally saved over an important client invoice while running his own design agency, inspiring him to create a simpler way to manage business finances. Today, FreshBooks is an online accounting and invoicing platform designed mainly for freelancers, self-employed professionals, and small businesses. It helps users create professional invoices, accept online payments, track expenses, manage payroll, record working hours, prepare financial reports, and keep their bookkeeping organized from one place. Users appreciate its clean and easy-to-use interface, time-saving automation, mobile features, and helpful customer support, which make everyday accounting tasks less stressful. FreshBooks also supports integrations with more than 100 apps, allowing businesses to connect their existing tools and manage their work more smoothly.
