There is some great invoicing software out there for contractors to use. I wanted to tell you about the one I am using. It is called Freshbooks ™.
I really love this software more and more each day. It’s not very expensive and you can try it free. The only draw back on this software is ME. I tend not to read directions so I just try to click my way around. However, it is very intuitive so I often figure it out without reading the directions!
Great things about Freshbooks ™:
Send invoices by email, mail, or print them out and mail yourself
Receive invoices from vendors via Freshbooks
Keep track of hours you work on projects
Keep track of contractors and vendors that work on various projects
Keep track of time via your iPhone ™ with their iPhone ™ app (!!!!)
Accept payments via paypal ™, or check!
Manage your books (yes you can!)
There are so many features that I am just learning about. I love the fact that the paper invoice that some of my clients wants can be mailed by them in very professional envelopes. The invoice is branded with my logo and it looks very professional.
You need these forms!
This looks like a nice program. what is the price once you are past the trial?
I am paying less than 20 dollars a month. The lowest fee includes 25 clients. I really like it. They also let you purchase stamps so you can mail actual branded invoices to your clients. I have a couple who like it that way.It gives them an invoice with a return envelope to mail their payment in. It looks very professional. They can also pay via paypal ™ if you prefer.
