FreshBooks protects your personal information. For security of transactions, we use the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol, which encrypts any information such as credit card number and billing information that you send us electronically. The encryption process protects your information by scrambling it before it is sent to us from your computer. In addition, your data is backed up automatically and is accessible from any device, so you can always stay connected and up-to-date.

If you’re no longer billing or working with a client, you can delete them to free up spots for new clients. Deleted clients’ invoices and information will still remain accessible to you, and you can always undelete clients at a later date.

Here’s a quick breakdown of billable clients in FreshBooks:

– Lite: 5 billable clients

– Plus: 50 billable clients

– Premium: Unlimited billable clients

We are committed to ensuring your data’s security and protection by implementing SSL policies and ensuring we’re PCI compliant. We also work with partners who have security measures in place to ensure your business finances are safe.

That means that any of your data entered into FreshBooks is totally safe, and when you enter new customers into your account their information is just as safe.

There is no difference between a double-entry bookkeeping and a double-entry accounting software. Some refer to it as double-entry bookkeeping, while others refer to it as double-entry accounting or double-entry journal accounting. All have the same fundamental difference from a single entry accounting or bookkeeping system.

A single entry system involves creating a single entry for all business transactions to the accounting records. In contrast, a double-entry accounting system means every business transaction amount is recorded in two accounts. Additionally, a double-entry bookkeeping system reduces the risk of accounting errors and offers a level of financial transparency that single-entry can’t provide.

In FreshBooks, you and your accountant have access to all of the double-entry accounting reports you need to properly operate and grow your small business.
