Bizim Hesap vs FreshBooks

Bizim Hesap is a Turkish cloud pre-accounting service for small businesses, shopkeepers and sole traders. It replaces notebooks and spreadsheets with a simple web and mobile app for issuing invoices, tracking who owes what and seeing cash flow, and it is designed for business owners who are not accountants.

Users create sales and purchase invoices and issue e-invoices and e-archive invoices in line with the Turkish Revenue Administration (GİB) requirements. Customer and supplier accounts show balances and payment history; cash, bank and credit card accounts track money in and out; expenses can be recorded quickly; and stock tracking follows products and quantities. Reports summarize sales, collections, payables and profitability, and the business's accountant can be given access to review records and prepare filings. Pricing is a subscription in Turkish lira, typically billed annually, and changes periodically with inflation.

Bizim Hesap suits micro and small businesses that want straightforward invoicing and receivables tracking without the depth of an ERP. It is Turkey-specific, has fewer third-party integrations than larger rivals, and growing companies with complex inventory, production or multi-branch needs will outgrow it. Paraşüt is the best-known alternative with more integrations, Logo İşbaşı brings the backing of Logo Yazılım and a path to its ERP products, and KolayBi targets the same small-business segment.

The practical choice between these tools usually comes down to interface preference, the accountant's familiarity and the current lira price.

FreshBooks is cloud accounting and invoicing software from Toronto, Canada, founded in 2003 and built for freelancers and service businesses. Its core job is getting paid: creating branded invoices, estimates and proposals, tracking billable time and expenses against clients and projects, and collecting online card and bank payments while the books stay in order.

Around invoicing, FreshBooks offers recurring billing, automatic payment reminders, late fees, receipt capture through a mobile app, mileage tracking, project profitability, a client portal and double-entry accounting with reports such as profit and loss and balance sheet. Plans are priced per month and limited by the number of billable clients, with extra team members charged separately; higher tiers add proposals, recurring billing, retainers and advanced payments. Payroll is available in the US through a partner integration.

FreshBooks suits designers, consultants, agencies and other service providers who want the simplest invoicing experience. Product businesses with inventory, multi-entity companies and anyone needing complex accounting will outgrow it; QuickBooks Online and Xero offer deeper accounting and larger accountant networks, while Zoho Books gives more features per dollar. Turkish businesses need e-fatura and e-arşiv compliance, which FreshBooks does not provide, so local tools such as Paraşüt are the practical choice there.
