Company information

The facts on file

Description
FreshBooks is cloud invoicing and small-business accounting software from a Toronto vendor, covering invoices, estimates, expenses, reports, payroll and payment acceptance in one platform. Plans are priced by billable-client count rather than seats or invoice volume, which makes it best suited to freelancers, consultants, agencies and trades billing by project, retainer or hour. G2 lists it as an all-in-one accounting and finance solution with English as the only supported language.

Regulatory
FreshBooks states it uses industry-standard SSL and encryption, but that is a marketing claim: no SOC 2, PCI DSS or ISO 27001 attestation was found on any page retrieved, and no financial-services licensing disclosure exists for the payments product. FreshBooks Payroll is sold as an add-on but the underlying provider, state coverage and tax-filing guarantees are unpublished. Card processing rates, Capterra's review count and any BBB record are unverified.
