Press Release Summary = FreshBooks Announces Highly Anticipated Account Credits Service for its Online Invoicing and Time Tracking Software
Press Release Body = TORONTO, Nov. 27, 2006 - FreshBooks, which recently surpassed 100,000 "happy" business users since its initial release in 2004, announced the release of version 3.6 with account credits capabilities.
FreshBooks is a painless online invoicing and time tracking service designed for small businesses and independent professionals that makes them look "Fortune 500" professional. Packages range from free to $39 per month.
FreshBooks changes the way businesses manage their books, saving them time, improving their cash flow, enhancing client communications and streamlining their business processes. Customers include web designers, graphic artists, consultants, and service and home-based businesses.
With account credits, businesses can now allow their customers to pre-pay for services and track how much credit each customer has available at any time - eliminating the need to maintain manual records. Credits also enable businesses to automatically track account balances to quickly get an accurate snapshot at any moment. Businesses can also reward customers by adding money to their account, while enjoying a simple and automated service to track status.
"This marks the company\'s 16th release since 2004 and it is our way of continually improving the service to help our customers save time invoicing, while helping them also improve their client relationships," said Michael McDerment, FreshBooks CEO. "Credits also help independent professionals accept pre-payment for their service contacts, which is a popular trend in consultant business.\"
FreshBooks is browser-based to make invoicing easy, always accessible, and fast; so much so that businesses are changing their behavior thanks to the service. Before FreshBooks, businesses used to wait until the end of the month to do their billing, using a combination of complicated spreadsheets or software-based accounting software. Using FreshBooks the same businesses bill their clients as they complete projects - allowing them to get paid faster.
