# Integrate FreshBooks with Databox

FreshBooks is cloud-based invoicing and accounting software designed for small businesses and freelancers. It helps teams manage invoices, track expenses, accept online payments, log billable time, and generate financial reports. Connecting FreshBooks to Databox makes your financial data available alongside metrics from your other business tools, so you can monitor cash flow, track outstanding and overdue invoices, and report on revenue and expenses in a unified view.

## Connection

### Before you begin

### Step 1: Add a connection

To connect FreshBooks to your Databox account for the [first time](/add-a-connection) or with new credentials, log in using your FreshBooks **Email** and **Password**, or use the **Sign in with Google** or **Sign in with Apple** options.

If you've already established a connection, you can [reuse](/add-a-data-source) it to add new accounts, as long as those accounts are accessible with the existing connection's credentials.

### Step 2: Select a business account

If your FreshBooks login is associated with more than one business, you'll be prompted to select the specific business account you want to connect to Databox. If you have only one business account, it will be selected automatically.

### Step 3: Select a currency

Choose the currency you want to use for reporting in Databox. This setting determines how monetary metrics — such as invoice amounts, expenses, and payments — are displayed.

## Resources

For comprehensive details on metrics, data availability, templates, specifications, usage guidelines, and other key information, refer to the resources listed below.

FreshBooks' API is built to deliver data in a single currency per request, and apps are encouraged to use the organization's base currency. While certain reports can be generated in another currency, they must be run separately. Since exchange rates are not exposed consistently, combining values across currencies would lead to unreliable totals.
