The Fastest Way to Invoice Your Clients

FreshBooks Survey Results: We Have a Winner!

by Kathy Donoghue - December 14/2006

A few weeks ago we asked people who use FreshBooks to complete a survey. Those who did, and gave us their contact details, were entered into a draw to win a $50 (USD) gift certificate to Amazon. Using a random number generator, Corky Peavy from PVco was selected as the lucky winner. Congratulations Corky!

Here are some highlights from the survey:

  • Avg. # of hours you spent invoicing/month before FreshBooks: 8.05
  • Avg. # of hours you spent invoicing/month using FreshBooks: 3.23

Put another way, using FreshBooks, it takes less than half the time (60% less!) to do your invoicing each month.

  • Avg. # of days it took to get paid before FreshBooks: 22
  • Avg. # of days it takes to get paid using FreshBooks: 14

That means the money you’re owed by your clients is in your bank account 8 days faster (39% faster on average). A few other stats:

  • 61% of respondents collect more money using FreshBooks
  • 43% of those respondents said they collect more than 15% more money using FreshBooks.
  • 98% would refer – or have referred – FreshBooks to someone else.

A very big thank you to everyone who took the time to answer the survey questions.

[...] You can expect to see FreshBooks tackle more fundamental accounting functions in the months to come; things like expenses and estimates. I won’t say anything else now except that you can expect us to deliver these services the “third way”. They will be UnAccounting services that help you save time and streamline your workflow.
