I can't speak to freshbooks, but I and several others on this sub have had success using Wave's freemium service for basic bookkeeping, invoicing, receipts/expenses, etc. EDIT: Downvoter, it's cool. But if you happen back this way, feel free to toss out your thoughts. Thanks!

I don’t know anything about their bookkeeping service, but I can’t see why you’d need it. How long does it take to do your books? I used freshbooks for invoicing and expense tracking for years. Then they made the ‘new’ freshbooks and it was absolutely shit. They couldn’t even format addresses correctly for use in Australia and when I asked them to fix it, they said that they would consider it depending on demand from customers. I can’t remember exactly how much I paid them per year, but I think it was something like $600. And if I got more clients, I’d have to pay more. So I stopped using their service. Found one that was 1/4 the price with no dodgy pricing nonsense and great customer service (literally the boss called me because I mentioned a colleague had referred me and he remembered that guy had been one of their early customers). They took all of my freshbooks data and manually formatted it to work with their import system and have made numerous changes to their core software after getting feedback. I’m so glad I left freshbooks.
