Key strengths
What it does
Invoicing & billing
FastBill focuses on fast, compliant invoicing for freelancers and small firms. Draft invoices from templates, attach tracked expenses, apply correct VAT rules and email or download PDFs. Recurring billing and batch sends save time for subscription-like services, while simple client management keeps contacts and payment terms in one place.
Expenses & bookkeeping
Capture receipts by upload or scan, link them to expenses and automatically categorize transactions. FastBill provides basic bookkeeping reports and VAT overviews that simplify handover to your tax advisor. The workflow is aimed at small operations that need tidy records without a full accounting department.
Payments & integrations
FastBill integrates with payment providers and bank feeds to speed reconciliation and show outstanding balances. It also connects to popular tools via APIs and Zapier, enabling time tracking, CRM hooks or export to tax software. That flexibility helps businesses streamline billing into their existing workflows.
