If you are a small business owner, entrepreneur or freelancer, you don’t have time to fuss with confusing and complicated invoices.

After all, what matters most is you being able to give high-quality work to your clients – and getting paid for your services.

Laboring over getting all of your accounting information in order is a tedious prospect, and keeps you away from focusing on the important things.

Entrepreneurs, freelancers, and business owners need as much time as possible to focus on keeping your businesses running, all while providing valuable services that deserve to get paid the right way, at the right time. Hassling over tax calculations, or convoluted time tracking methods, is an unnecessary time waster.

You may be struggling to create invoices yourself, or considering hiring an accountant or expensive invoicing service. Fortunately, there is a better, simpler solution.

With the free simple invoice template from FreshBooks, your small business will be well on its way to sending professional invoices in just a few minutes. Our simple invoicing software can be downloaded on multiple platforms, and is compatible with a range of editing software.

FreshBooks offers unlimited free access to easy invoice templates, with an invoice app that can be adjusted to suit your business needs.

You no longer have to sweat over the small stuff, as the template does all the hard work for you. Access to easy invoicing software is a game-changer.
