How about the ability to import your chart of accounts from other accounting packages like QuickBooks?

Are there any plans to integrate with Freshbooks?

@philip…..Automatic import of their invoices. A few other online accounting services,(Clarity, IACEZ, gobootstrap, Less Accounting) either already allow or plan to provide auto import of Freshbook invoices. I do realize Xero has invoicing features, but Freshbooks does have some nice features. I would love to utilize both, but without having to manually input invoices in Xero. Thanks.

I vote also for freshbooks auto update with xero, or set up online payments with authorize.net and I will tell freshbooks bye bye.
Thanks,
John

A great job on Xero. +1 on freshbooks integration.

Cheers.

We started using Freshbooks as stopgap, but now we’re getting to the point where we are looking to build our service around it permanently – i.e. basic PM, ticket management, we use it for contractor time tracking, expense tracking (shoebox), crm (tactile crm). Xero would be great to integrate with this to neatly finish off the accounting side of things – particularly with it’s integration with our bank account. Custom invoicing and a invoice email interface with more features means we’d probably use Frshbooks to send the invoices, but the live reconciliation and other accounting features in Xero make it worthwhile sticking with.

We are an Australian based creative agency currently franchising and have been using Freshbooks since October 2008 last year. We’re currently weighing up options in terms of what to do for the new financial year and think xero has some nice features but I’ve just spent 1 hour trying to import a Freshbooks csv file of invoices in, and whilst I’ve managed it, it took too long, and a few random errors on certain invoices. Yet when I tried to reimport the same file, less errors but the same file??

I’d also like to vote for an integration with Freshbooks using APIs or whatever so we can instantaneously or near enough import our freshbooks data on a regular basis and continue to use it for receipting our multiple contractor invoices, to send out automated debt collection notices, raise estimates etc, but to use xero for our reconciling/accounting needs.

Any updates so we can make a decision in the next week or two?

+1 for freshbooks integration … would be the dream package .. fb for invoicing and xero for accounting ..

Any update on freshbooks integration? Release date?

Very interested in the Xero & Freshbooks integration. Any news on a release date?

Aaaand add a +1 for me for freshbooks integration:)

Having the two together would honestly give me an accurate financial picture of my business at any given time.

Is there any concrete update as to when this will happen?

I’m getting tired of vlookups and fumbling with data from my excel output from freshbooks to match the xero import template.

An integration betwwen Xero and Harvest (getharvest.com) for importing invoices and expenses will be great.

+1 on Freshbooks. We use the time management and invoicing features extensively on Freshbooks, and a method to push every invoice that is sent to the client via email or port on Freshbooks into Xero would be amazing. Any ETA on the integration?

Patiently awaiting…can you give us a hint as to which quarter this may be added. This is the one feature holding me from Xero and seriously considering Clarity or IACEZ. I am stuck in Quickbooks right now because I’ve been waiting for this to happen with Xero. This question was asked about a year ago. I am just anxious to dump Quickbooks and get into a new system. Please let us know.

That is awesome!!!

@ Catherine

Will this Freshbooks integration be auto or manual?

A true and seamless payment gateway integration is key. I’m surprised Xero is limited to basic paypal. Integrate Authorize.net and then we are talking.

It would be great to see integration with something like EWAY as well so we can get money direct to our account
