It’s hard enough generating leads and business but when you have to do estimates and invoicing and accept payments from clients it seems an impossible tasks. How many times have consultants froze in their tracks when a client asks them for a quote or an estimate or mail them an invoice?

Clients big and small judge you on your professionalism not only from the first meeting and your actual work but from all the small details of how you handle them as a customer from start to finish

Companies Big and Small need documentation, bids and invoices not only to get approval and funding but also for tax purposes

A few days after I signed up for Freshbooks I got an invoice in the mail from Freshbooks. I’m thinking why am I getting an invoice I’m using the free trial. Upon closer examination it’s a sample invoice from me a sample invoice a customer of mine would receive in the mail complete with return envelope. Impressive!

The only feature Freshbooks is missing is an iphone client to enter in expenses and other items on the go
