How much is it?
Let's get this out of the way first. It is Free. Cool, huh? Really! Unlike most billing tools, Billing Boss is completely free to use. When we started developing the program, we have decided to offer it for
free despite revenue pressure. There is absolutely no limitation on what you are do with the free version. If we do release a paid version (no plan yet), we have no intention to cripple the free version and force you to upgrade. Whatever you have to pay for has to be valuable to you. There is little incentive for you to use a commercial online invoicing tool that can be easily replaced by free tools. For example,
you can easily do an invoice in Word and Excel.

Why should I use Billing Boss rather than any other online invoicing tool?
We have designed Billing Boss with both you and your accountant or bookkeeper in mind. Where other online invoicing tools do not allow you to easily share your data, Billing Boss allows you to grant your accountant or bookkeeper read only access easily and securely, without having to transfer files back and forth. Since you can see everything online, your workflow and communication between you and your accountant or bookkeeper will be faster, more efficient and more accurate.
You don't need any accounting experience to run Billing Boss: You will get your data in a way that helps you run your business (a business process oriented view) while your accountant or bookkeeper will get the information from an accounting perspective. You can quickly become one of your book balancer's favorite clients!
