Billed Receives Rising Star Award for Invoicing Software
Billed earns the Rising Star and Premium Usability awards from FinancesOnline for its simplified invoicing and payment processing platform.

Since its inception, Billed has been taking great strides in providing small and mid-sized businesses with affordable, fast, and secure invoicing solutions. We are thrilled to announce that we received the Rising Star Award of 2019 from FinancesOnline, a premier business software review directory, for gaining the trust of industry professionals and growing rapidly in the invoicing space.
What the award means
The Rising Star award recognizes software products that have shown impressive growth in user adoption and positive feedback. For a small-business-focused tool like Billed, earning this recognition confirms that our approach — keeping invoicing simple, fast, and accessible — resonates with the freelancers, consultants, and small teams we build for.
What FinancesOnline highlighted
In their evaluation of Billed, the FinancesOnline software experts called out several strengths:
- Simplified invoicing — Billed lets freelancers and small companies reduce the time they spend designing and mailing invoices. You can create a professional invoice in under a minute using saved items and services, client details, and customizable templates.
- Payment reminders — Automated reminder emails accelerate payment collection so businesses get paid on time without awkward follow-up calls.
- Multi-currency support — The currency customization tool is built for businesses that work with international clients, making cross-border billing seamless.
- Low learning curve — While Billed offers powerful features for invoicing and payment processing, the interface is intuitive enough for teams without a dedicated IT department.
Billed also landed a spot in FinancesOnline's list of best invoicing software for Mac.
Premium Usability Award
On top of the Rising Star recognition, Billed was granted the Premium Usability Award for 2019 for its easily navigable interface. FinancesOnline noted that users can get started immediately without training, making it a strong choice for solo operators and small firms that need results on day one.
What we have built since then
Since receiving these awards, we have continued investing in the features that matter most to small businesses:
- Recurring invoices for subscription and retainer billing
- Expense tracking with receipt attachment
- Estimate creation and management with one-click conversion to invoices
- Online payment acceptance through Stripe and PayPal
- Time tracking to bill hours accurately
- Multi-business support for owners managing more than one company
Each feature was designed with the same philosophy that earned us the award: keep things simple and let business owners focus on their work, not their paperwork.
