Frequently Asked Questions

How do Client Accounts work?

Client Accounts are one of the primary client management tools in FreshBooks. Clients can view, print, and pay Invoices, Estimates and Proposals with the link you send them without having to sign up for an account in the FreshBooks client management platform. You’ll have a birds-eye view of client data, making it easy for you and your sales team to follow up and support clients.

A Client Account lets clients take action by commenting on Invoices, Estimates, and Proposals, as well as collaborating on any Projects they’re invited to. Client Accounts also allow clients to save payment information safely, making it easy to pay future Invoices.

You can prompt Clients to create an account by sending them an Invoice, Estimate, or Proposal. Your Client can then click the “Save this Invoice/Estimate/Proposal” button or the “Log in to view all Invoices/Estimates/Proposals” link. From here, they can create a password and view their new account.

If you invite your Client to a Project instead, they can click the button in the email inviting them to the Project. They can then create a password and fill out some information before being taken to their account.

Watch this short video to see just how easy it is to work with clients in your FreshBooks account.

Can clients save their payment details?

The FreshBooks client management system makes every process easy for you, your sales team, and your clients. Client Accounts can be used to save any credit card and Bank Transfer details for reuse on any new Invoice. A client must log into a Client Account in order to use the saved information to pay an Invoice. Saved payment information on the FreshBooks client management software can be used with payment automation tools to create recurring payments on invoices and subscriptions.

Client management tools: How do I work with clients on a project?

As part of the FreshBooks client management system, a Client Account lets clients collaborate on any Project they’ve been invited to. This collaboration includes commenting, sharing files (images, gifs, PDFs, documents, and spreadsheets), and posting links. 

A Client can click on the Project section of their account anytime. From here, they can share any comments, files, or links in the “Discuss” area.

A great way to foster client relationships in the FreshBooks client management software system is by collaborating on Projects by sharing files, attachments, or comments with your Client and Team Members. Everything is stored inside the project for easy reference anytime you need it.

Project management: Can I assign project managers to projects in FreshBooks?

Any good client management software allows for better project management. Project Managers are an extra level of access that can be assigned to any existing Team Member (except Contractors) on any project. Once designated as a Project Manager to a specific Project, they’ll be able to:

  • Manage the Project by editing it as needed (file sharing, commenting, etc.)
  • View Invoices and Expenses associated with a Project
  • Generate Invoices for the Project, including rebilling all associated Expenses created by the team
  • View all time entries for the Project – both theirs and the team’s
