Toronto-based FreshBooks says it has doubled its user base to 10 million over the last two years. Its productis focused on service-based businesses. FreshBooks is currently hiring developers, product managers and marketing experts. The company is offering a $3,000 bonus (Canadian) for any referrals that are hired.

The FreshBooks announcement came the same day that New Zealand-based Xero said it plans to go public by the end of its fiscal year on March 31. Xero raised $150 million, largely from investors in this country, last fall. Also getting funds this year was Kashoo, which secured an equity investment of undisclosed size from Paychex.

Among the jobs being advertized is partner marketing manager, whose responsibilities include "working with external and internal partners to develop campaigns, and launching/monitoring multi-channel marketing programs." The person hired will also help launch and push partner apps. FreshBooks is also seeking a director of development and developers of both iOS and Android apps for its mobile effort
