Our Story:

Making invoicing painless, at lower cost

Chapter 1 - Creating a Better Way to Invoice

We know billing is a pain. We know you have tried tools like QuickBooks, Excel and Word to create your invoices and manage your books. That's why we built FreshBooks - because you need something that works well and gets the job of billing your clients done - without the pain. What pain you ask? The QuickBooks pain of having to do 100 steps to get one thing done. The Excel pain of poorly formatted invoices. The Word pain of keeping track of who has paid and how much remains outstanding.

We designed FreshBooks to attack those problems and to create a solution that makes it easy to handle billing and invoices. That is chapter one of our story.

Chapter 2 - Improving Your Business

Chapter two is just beginning. Now we are joining the old with the new. The offline with the online. What does that mean? Well, as you know we are focused on boring stuff: invoicing. It is old world work, and one way or another it has been done for centuries. Invoicing is necessary and is not going away. It used to be done on paper, by post, and we brought it online and helped you do it by email.

Now, we are moving ahead... into the past. You can send invoices using old fashioned "snail mail" from the comfort of your FreshBooks account. You click on an invoice and send it. It goes through the mail to your client. When your client gets that invoice in the mail they can access their own online account, with their account history, and, if you permit it, your clients can pay you online, as well as decide if they want to get future invoices by email. If they do that, you'll save money. Giddyup.

Ground mail invoicing for even more painless billing. We've merged the old world of ground mail with the new world of online invoicing. It's the second chapter in our story.

Chapter 3 - The Future Is Bright

There are more chapters in the story, after ground mail, but we have to hold something back to keep you on the edge of your seat. Subscribe to our blog and follow along as the story unfolds.
