Built for the Trades
FreshBooks was designed for graphic designers and consultants. BidOrca was built specifically for electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, and general contractors.
FreshBooks is a solid accounting tool for freelancers and small businesses. But it wasn't built for the trades. No price books, no trade-specific line items, no AI estimates. If you're a contractor, you deserve software that speaks your language.
FreshBooks excels at bookkeeping. We excel at helping contractors win jobs. Different tools for different problems.
