I had to share this quick video with you today from Freshbooks!
As you may know, I am very passionate about Freshbooks overall. I think everything they do, the services they offer, the customer support all makes them a very Smart, forward thinking company.
Sometimes I wish I lived in Toronto just so I could work there – looks like a lot of fun!

Hey, just a quick post to tell you about how I am getting more out of my Freshbooks account!
It took me about 5 minutes to setup my new client who is a real estate investor, marketing consultant, speaker, educator and author with secure access to their own private area within my Freshbooks account.
All I had to do was add them as a new client, select the type of permission they would have to their account such as access to view and pay their invoice from anywhere, upload task lists, and all the required files for me to start working on their projects.
This client was able to log in immediately and upload everything I needed to get started.
So today, I will be processing all the work while the time is tracked directly to their account. This means they can log in at any time to see what I have done to date without the hassle of having to email me for a time sheet etc…
It is simple for me to delegate tasks to sub contractor’s through my Freshbooks account and grant them access to the area’s that I need them to view while tracking their time at their rates…
I am loving it!!!

The implementation of Freshbooks into my business has given me so much more TIME. Freshbooks now handles all of my time tracking and invoicing and I love it!
This little gem saves me time, stress and money every single day, I kid you not. Before Freshbooks I was manually tracking time, inputting into my Excel invoice, trying to calculate hours and dollars and I am no math whiz so you can imagine… Now, I simply load each client into Freshbooks once, load each project and then each task. I bring up the time and hit track. Once the project is complete I hit log hours and bang – the time is loaded. I can add any additional costs associated to each client and then generate invoices whenever I want with the hit of one button. The client can log in at any time to view progress reports – it is so smooth.
And the real kicker is that Freshbooks integrates with Basecamp. Let me say this again Freshbooks integrates with Basecamp. You can sync all of your Basecamp projects with Freshbooks. This is huge for many business owners. Manage projects, track time, produce invoices and manage payments all in sync. YES!!!
Mary, congratulations and enjoy automating your business. You will now get paid faster and have more time by implementing these tools! Give me a shout anytime if you need a hand setting this up! Good luck!
