FreshBooks Update and New Estimates Service Announcement

More news from the great company FreshBooks, which recently surpassed 175,000 happy business users, is rolling out its much anticipated release of estimates as an integrated extension to its industry-leading online invoicing and time-tracking service.

FreshBooks is a painless online invoicing and time-tracking service designed to make its users look as professional as ‘Fortune 500’ companies. It changes the way businesses manage their books, saving them time, improving their cash flow, enhancing client communications, and streamlining their business processes. Packages range from $14 to $149 per month.

With the new estimates feature, small businesses and independent professionals can now create professional, branded quotes for their clients and prospects.  Customers can instantly review all of the information provided in the estimate and send back change requests or simply accept it as-is.  Following the completion of the work, the estimate can be converted into an invoice and sent to the customer with one click.

“FreshBooks customers can now use estimates to manage the entire relationship with their clients, from quotes to reporting to billing,” said Levi Cooperman CIO of Freshbooks. “Integrating estimates into FreshBooks allows businesses to save even more time to focus on billable work.”
