What is the Joshu FreshBooks connection?

Joshu connects to FreshBooks through official OAuth and works across your clients, projects, time entries, invoices, and expenses. It verifies invoice payments, calculates unbilled client hours, prepares detailed invoices from tracked project time, and connects billing data back to your morning calendar briefs. You work with an assistant who has a desk, a computer, and persistent memory, not a billing portal you have to navigate for every payment update.

Is my billing data secure?

Yes. Every Joshu runs in its own isolated, sandboxed cloud computer. Client billing rates, invoices, and payment histories Joshu reads stay in that private sandbox. Joshu only accesses businesses you authorize, and your data is never used to train public AI models.

Will Joshu send invoices to clients without asking?

Joshu prepares drafts by default. Sending invoices to clients, applying late fees, or deleting billing records follows strict approval rules you configure, ensuring you review all outbound billing.

What can Joshu access in FreshBooks?

Only the FreshBooks businesses and accounts authorized during OAuth sign-in. Joshu cannot view unconnected business entities or personal financial accounts.

What is the difference between FreshBooks automated reminders and Joshu?

FreshBooks sends static reminder templates. Joshu is an assistant with long-term memory across FreshBooks, your email, calendar, files, and project trackers. It knows the context of your ongoing client conversations and drafts polite, personal payment follow-ups when invoices are delayed.

Do I need a paid plan?

Joshu is $95 a month with a simple flat rate. That includes your sandboxed cloud computer, a dedicated US phone number, an @joshu.me email address, eight-level cortex memory, and all tool connectors, including FreshBooks. There are no surprise usage tiers or seat markups.

What Joshu does

Joshu keeps track of your FreshBooks accounting to ensure your billable consulting work turns into timely cash flow. It calculates unbilled hours across active engagements, identifies overdue invoices, and drafts comprehensive itemized bills. When clients ask about balance details via email, Joshu looks up invoice statuses and stages accurate answers on your desk.

What you do

Connect your FreshBooks account using OAuth and select which business profiles Joshu should access. Decide whether invoice generation and payment reminder drafts require approval on your desk before sending.

Why it sticks

Freelancers and agency operators frequently lose revenue because compiling hours and drafting invoices gets put off during busy delivery cycles. Joshu pulls tracked hours directly into ready-to-send FreshBooks invoices so you can get paid on schedule.

Permissions and limits

Joshu accesses FreshBooks using authorized OAuth tokens. It reads clients, time entries, and invoices according to approved scopes. It cannot process refunds or delete payment records without explicit administrative confirmation.
