FreshBooks Review 2026

About FreshBooks

FreshBooks has built its reputation on making accounting approachable for non-accountants. If you run a photography business, landscaping company, or any service business where you bill clients for time or projects, FreshBooks handles the financial side so you can focus on the work.

The invoicing experience is FreshBooks' standout feature. Create a professional invoice in under a minute, send it directly to the client, and let FreshBooks handle follow-up reminders if payment is late. Clients can pay online by credit card or bank transfer, and funds are deposited to your account within a few days.

Time tracking is built directly into the platform — start a timer when you begin work, stop it when you're done, and add the hours to an invoice with one click. For photographers who charge for editing hours, or landscapers who bill hourly for smaller jobs, this eliminates the need for a separate time tracking app.

The expense tracking feature connects to your bank account and automatically imports transactions. You categorize them as business expenses, and FreshBooks generates profit and loss reports that give you a real picture of your business finances — useful at tax time and for understanding where your money is going.
