3 Ways FreshBooks Makes Your Team More Effective

Most success stems from teamwork. Whether it’s employees working together, or with clients and contractors, teamwork allows you to achieve common goals and get more done in less time. Plus, it contributes to innovation and guarantees more lightbulb moments in your brainstorms.

The power of working together is undeniable and has shaped much of the FreshBooks platform. So to help you unlock the full potential of your Team, here are 3 ways FreshBooks can enhance your collaboration.

1. FreshBooks Improves Productivity Through Time Tracking Features

Time Tracking in FreshBooks is a powerful tool that will help you grow your business by:

• Identifying how you and your Team spend time and help pinpoint time-consuming tasks

With Time Tracking you can:

• Run project analyses by accessing the Time Tracking information from the dashboard
