If you’re wondering “how much does FreshBooks cost?” Just take a peek above for all FreshBooks pricing plans.

Do I need to install any software?

FreshBooks and all FreshBooks features are 100% web-based, meaning you can access them anywhere. There’s no accounting software to install on your computer. You can even use FreshBooks accounting software on your mobile device.

However, if you want to access FreshBooks accounting software on your mobile device you will need to install the iOS or Android app. Your account will sync with the app, so everything you see on your phone is the same as on your desktop. You can do basically all of the same business and accounting tasks on the go that you can do on your desktop.

Is my data safe?

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.

How do client limits work in FreshBooks pricing?

The client limit on each of FreshBooks plans refers to the number of both active and archived clients in your account. 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

– Select: Unlimited billable clients (+ custom pricing plans)

Is FreshBooks just an accounting solution or will it help me fill out my tax return?

The short answer is YES, it will!

Here’s the long answer:

FreshBooks accounting software has accounting reports for small businesses, like the Profit and Loss Report and Sales Tax Summary, which have the key numbers you need to fill out and file your tax return. We’ve even put together a list of handy resources to help you get ahead of tax time, which you can check out below. If you need double-entry accounting or bookkeeping help with filling out your return, check out our Accounting Partner Program to get matched with one of our vetted accounting or tax professionals.

If I connected my bank account to FreshBooks, how do I know my data’s safe?

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.

What’s is double-entry accounting?

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.

How much does FreshBooks charge per transaction?

Depending on the type of payment processor you use, there are different costs associated with processing payments in FreshBooks. We know pricing is important to your bottom line, so you can count on no hidden fees and transparent FreshBooks pricing.
