Patricia works your Freshbooks.
Ask her in Slack. She drafts the invoice, pulls the expenses, and chases what is overdue, but sending an invoice or recording a payment waits for your yes.
@Pati draft this month's invoice for Kepler, budget plus the two extra ad sets we ran.
Drafted it from the hours and line items on file:
- Budget for June: $4,500
- Two extra ad sets, 11.5 tracked hours at $120: $1,380
- Total $5,880, net 15, due July 19
- Kepler also has a $2,100 invoice 9 days overdue from May.
- I can send this and nudge the overdue one, but nothing goes out until you approve it.
Send it, and send a polite reminder on the May invoice too.
Both staged with the wording ready below. Say go and the June invoice sends to Kepler and the May reminder goes out. I will not record any payment on my own, just flag it here when one lands.
Patricia + Freshbooks
What she does in Freshbooks.
Real actions she takes on your say-so, not a list of API endpoints.
Draft invoices from real work
She builds an invoice from your tracked time, budget, and line items, taxes and terms set, ready to send. She never sends it without your yes.
Prepare estimates
A new scope turns into a clean estimate a customer can accept, priced off your rates and the hours you expect, so a quote goes out in minutes not an afternoon.
Read expenses and categorize
Expenses pulled, grouped, and matched to the right customer or project, so you can see what a piece of work actually cost you before you bill it.
Chase overdue invoices
She spots what is past due, drafts a polite reminder in your voice, and keeps the aging list in front of you. Sending the reminder still waits for your yes.
Pull the reports you ask for
Profit and loss, revenue by customer, outstanding balances, and time summaries handed back as numbers you can act on, not a dashboard you have to dig through.
Keep money moves behind approval
Drafting and reading run on their own, but sending an invoice or recording a payment touches your money and your books, so it always waits for your explicit yes in Slack.

FAQ
Freshbooks questions, answered.
What can Patricia actually do in FreshBooks?
She drafts invoices and estimates, manages customers, reads and categorizes expenses, pulls time entries, chases overdue balances, and runs financial reports like profit and loss and revenue by customer. Drafting and reading are instant; sending an invoice or recording a payment waits for approval.
Will she send an invoice or record a payment on her own?
No. Sending an invoice or recording a payment touches your money and your books, so it is staged and shown to you in Slack first and goes only after your explicit yes. Drafting invoices, reading expenses, and chasing overdue invoices runs on its own.
Which FreshBooks plan do we need?
Any plan with invoicing and API access works. She connects through the official OAuth flow, the same way other approved apps do, and only sees the account you connect.
Can I keep her scoped to part of our Freshbooks?
Yes. Connect only the accounts you want her in, and the rest stays untouched. Everything she sends or changes still waits for your yes.
What does the FreshBooks integration cost?
Nothing extra. Every integration is included, on every plan.
