Case Study: Bells Design achieves more time for creativity and faster payments with FreshBooks

Meet Ryan, Who Found an Accounting Solution That Gives Him More Time to Be Creative

Bells Design is a creative studio run by Ryan McGuire, a multidisciplinary designer and photographer who also founded the royalty-free photo site Gratisography. Ryan’s biggest challenge was time: juggling client work, photography and side projects left little room for bookkeeping, and tracking invoices and payments was eating into his creative time.

By using FreshBooks for invoicing, online payments and reporting, Ryan streamlined billing, reduced follow-ups and simplified tax preparation. The result is significantly less time spent on accounting, faster payments and clearer financial insights—freeing him to focus on creative work and grow both Bells Design and his side projects.
