B2Bee is an online expense management and invoicing tool. It is streamlined to minimize time spent on accounting and finances. It may be used to create and send invoices, track expenses, and produce financial reports. B2Bee was founded by Scott Miller, the entrepreneur who wanted to provide software for accounting that was simpler and easier to use than the currently available options. The application has a double mission: the first “B” in the name stands for business because the goal of the site is to help businesses. The “Bee” is for the honeybee population that is rapidly decreasing. The company donates $0.25 of each monthly payment to the research dedicated to finding out why the honeybee population is dying. This application is simpler than most other accounting software packages. Data is stored securely online and readily accessible. This is a simplified accounting package for small businesses. The workspace is intuitive and uncluttered. Tools are easy to use. Professional logos may be uploaded for use on invoices so that they appear integrated with other business communications. Adding invoices, expenses, clients, and projects are simple, menu-driven processes. Profitability and Accountant’s Export Reports are quickly generated to view current statistics or for tax purposes. Overall, B2Bee is a very simple financial tool. To sign up with B2Bee, users must provide a company name, email address, and url to be added to the .gethebee.com extension. A verification email completes the process and users are asked to create a password. Lastly, users provide an address and full name. The Free Bee plan is for those who have three clients or less. The Plan, for $14/month includes unlimited number of clients, invoice generation, expense tracking, and additional users at $9/month. A thirty day free trial is available. The Plan is pay-as-you-go without a long term contract, but is auto-renewed. If a user wants to cancel, they must initiate cancellation. Of each monthly payment, the site donates 25¢ to research dedicated to saving the honeybees whose population has dropped by nearly 70% in recent years. Freelancers, small business, and anyone frustrated with the complexities of Quickbooks may benefit from using B2Bee.
