Many of you have asked for it (because you use it yourselves), many of you have reacted very positively to the simplicity of the new payment process as well — thanks for that. For those who don’t know, we’ve moved away from our proprietary invoicing system to FreshBooks as our bookkeeping platform, leveraging their API for a nice seamless experience.

For those that are not familiar, Freshbooks is a great tool for folks from all walks of life (design studios, project managers, copywriters, freelancers of any type etc) to simplify the invoicing and time tracking processes. If you dread dealing with the entire invoicing process and helping clients get set up with PayPal (thinking it will save you time or don’t even have the time to take a Credit Card over the phone let alone keep track of the transaction), these guys have simplified transactions as far as one can go. You can run widgets they provide on your Mac or PC to make counting those hours even more painless. Take a closer look, or give them a call (yes they answer the phone) better still go ahead and try it for free.

We’ll be polishing up look and feel shortly, but seeing as we have the kinks out, we’re ready to say FreshBooks is here and we couldn’t be happier! We’ll be using some of their features like estimates, recurring invoicing and snail mail service for our NET 30 clients as soon as we can.

As always if there’s anything we can do to simplify your outsourcing experience, reach out and let us know.
