Free vs. FreshBooks daycare accounting software
Free tools may seem like a smart start, but they often lack key features daycare owners need, like invoicing parents, tracking tuition, managing staff expenses, and creating reports for budgeting and taxes. As your daycare grows, those gaps can slow you down.
FreshBooks is built for small businesses like yours. Easily track income and expenses, send professional invoices, and accept online payments—without stretching your budget.
You’ll also get peace of mind with secure cloud storage, responsive support, and smooth integrations—things most free software just doesn’t offer.
