Case Study: Lisa Simone Richards achieves efficient time tracking and transparent invoicing with FreshBooks

Meet Lisa Simone, a PR Professional Who Tripled Her Business’ Revenue While Using a Cloud-Based Accounting Solution

Good Counsel Services Inc., founded by Elizabeth David‑Dembrowsky, is a nonprofit legal services organization that supports nonprofits and startups and runs Lunch‑and‑Learn workshops. The firm needed a simple, affordable way to track billable time across its team, invoice clients on a sliding scale (and document pro‑bono work), and teach interns basic accounting without the overhead of complex software.

They adopted FreshBooks for time tracking and invoicing, using it to log team hours, generate transparent invoices for both paid and pro‑bono work, and train student interns. The result was streamlined project tracking and billing, improved transparency for clients and funders, broad team adoption, and an easy-to-use platform Elizabeth now recommends to clients and students.
