We live in a world where with the passage of time, we get more and more pressed for time. A common complaint that I hear is that of there just never seeming to be enough time to get stuff done! Time is a constant where there will always be 24 hours in a day for 365 days of the year.
The world is putting more demands on most of us with people being expected to do more and more or pushing themselves to achieve more and more is less time than years gone by. Business owners especially so are generally more pressed for time and besides doing whatever it is that they are in the business of, they also have to fulfill administrative functions and also not forget to work on growing their business.
The administrative functions may include expensing but aren’t limited to, keeping track of billable hours, invoicing and making sure that client payments are coming through on time.
One thing that we can be thankful for about the world that we now live in is innovation. Innovations are continually being introduced that provide solutions to problems or make certain aspects of life a lot easier. Many are catered towards business owners (and freelancers) and aim to simplify various business processes.
Freshbooks is one such innovation that is already making life easier for non-accountant small business owners as it simplifies invoicing and accounting. With their product well established, they have not just gone and sat on the laurels. They continue to launch new product offerings and specifically so, ones that make it possible to get things done on-the-go.
Two recent product offerings (one of which is actually a major revamp) are:
FreshBooks iOS App

Even though their apps aren’t ‘new’ so to speak, they recently revamped their iOS app making it even easier to use and do business on-the-go. Everything that you get with the online version of their software, you can access on the mobile apps. That means people can use the app whilst out and about to send invoices, expenses and tracking time, showing outstanding balances and now getting paid (see next), just to name a few.

FreshBooks Card Reader

As a business owner, you may find yourself face to face with a client who is ready to make a payment there and then and all they have on them is a card. That can present a little problem if you aren’t ready to accept card payments on-the-go. FreshBooks has introduced a card reader that allows users who don’t have the technology to accept credit card payments when out and about to do just that.
Getting paid is a simple as opening up the FreshBooks app, plugging in the card reader and processing the payment. To read more on what the card reader has to offer, see: It’s Here: The FreshBooks Card Reader – The Best Way To Get Paid On The Spot.
That in a nutshell is how FreshBooks works to help business owners invoice and get paid on-the-go. If you haven’t already done so, head on over to FreshBooks and sign up for a FREE 30 day trial (no credit card required) and you be the judge.
