Domain knowledge for FreshBooks — workflow patterns, data models, and gotchas for your AI agent.

FreshBooks

FreshBooks is cloud accounting for small businesses. Invoicing, expense tracking, time management. Streamline financial operations and client billing.

Data Model

  • Identity & businesses — authenticated user profile plus each FreshBooks business (account_id, business_uuid).
  • Clients, invoices, expenses — AR/AP objects with detail and summary views.
  • Expense taxonomies — categories and tax definitions backing bills.

Gotchas

  • Account threading: Reuse the account_id / business_uuid pair from account picker flows—invoices and expenses stay scoped to that business context.
