Quick to learn and did everything we needed at the time. Good access via app and automated invoices were ideal. > > **Cons**: The cost of adding more users on as we grew. The limited personalisation at the start was fine but as we used it more and more we had to find workarounds. > > One of our first accounting softwares' we'd used and the main thing we wanted was easy to use, quick invoicing, time tracking on occasion and managing a couple of employees expenses which it did really well. ----- ### "FreshBook Review." — 5.0/5 > **Erik** | *9 January 2025* | Logistics & Supply Chain | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: The platform is super user friendly, easy to teach and the reports are amazing. > > **Cons**: Pricing is the only thing but I feel that it is worth it compared to a lot of other platforms. > > FreshBooks is the best accounting software hands down.
