FreshBooks

I was working as a freelancer for a previous job and they asked me to use FreshBooks when I submitted my invoices.
I had never heard of it because I don’t usually freelance.
I found the site to be very easy to use when it comes to creating invoices and general recordkeeping. You can submit your invoices online, or print it out yourself and mail it. I think you can also have FreshBooks mail it on your behalf, for a small fee that may or may not be a little over the cost of a stamp.
I don’t freelance any more, but I have found myself using FreshBooks as a way to quantify what I do at my non-​freelance work.
The one thing that knocks my review of them down a star is the use of PayPal for getting paid. For a different job altogether, I was asked if they can pay me on the invoice via PayPal. FreshBooks allows that. However, there is a fee involved that gets taken out of your check. *Not a fault of FreshBooks* — it’s a fee imposed by PayPal.
