Considered Both Products	FreeAgent DJ Daniel Jaworski Certified Public Accountant Chose FreeAgent As a free software for Mettle users it is excellent choice and great value for money especially for micro businesses. It does the needed bank imports and reconciliations, however compared to more advanced products like Xero or QuickBooks it lacks the flexibility of those … Helpful? Vince McConville Advisor / Director Chose FreeAgent I have used and tested out many other systems. I was looking at Xero for my accounting system but at the time I chose FreeAgent because of the way it handles the recording of dividends and the inbuilt time recording. The others I trialed were good and many of them cheaper. … Incentivized Helpful? Kirsty McWilliam Consultant Chose FreeAgent Dashboard for tax overview Helpful? Linda Merrills Director Chose FreeAgent We did start the business using Kashflow. It is good but isn't as full service as FreeAgent and does require a bit of knowledge of some accounting terms which FreeAgent doesn't. Helpful? Jason Dalton AICB CB.Cert PM.Dip Bookkeeper Chose FreeAgent Support. Any questions gets a fast and detailed response. Helpful, knowledgable and friendly people provide detailed explanations and answers to not only teach but help understanding. Helpful? Gavin Percy Registered and Approved Growth Coach for GrowthAccelerator. Chose FreeAgent Sage was way too complicated for my needs and not as user friendly. FreeAgent was cheaper, easier and more user friendly. Easy decision Helpful? Eddie May Web Developer & Internet Marketing Consultant Chose FreeAgent I used Fresh Books for about three years prior to switching to FreeAgent. It was the accounting functionality that made the difference - in the past two years I've not regretted the switch. Fresh Books is good, but its the UK accounting features that make FreeAgent … Helpful? Verified User Consultant Chose FreeAgent I've not evaluated other products but know there are others out there. Helpful? Colin Clark Owner Chose FreeAgent FreeAgent is far easier to use and navigate. Helpful? Russell Greig MCIArb Owner Chose FreeAgent I haven't used other products, I used freeagent and was so impressed that I've continued to use it and recommend to other Helpful? Maribel Pascual Director Chose FreeAgent I found FreeAgent to be more user friendly and since I have no accounting background much more easy to use than QuickBooks. Helpful? Emma Cossey Trainer Chose FreeAgent I liked FreshBooks - but the support, banking integration and other extras FreeAgent offers won me over. Helpful? Edgar Danielyan Director & Principal Consultant Chose FreeAgent FreeAgent was really the first product we looked at based on a personal recommendation and since we found it to be almost perfect we didn't look at the alternatives.

Likelihood to Recommend	FreeAgent For micro and small business it is a great solution. The new requirements for MTD for landlords could also be met with this software. Groups and more complex businesses could not use the accounts and tax returns features, however they still could use it for bookkeeping and then export the data to other tax and accounts production software. DJ Daniel Jaworski Certified Public Accountant Read full review
Pros	FreeAgent Accounting! As you'd expect. Makes it much simpler andmore cost effective. In-coming and out-goings are recorded and assigned to projects and accounts. My accountant can access my books and reconcile so much more easily than trawling through spreadsheets. Time billing - time spent on projects/client work is recorded and is ready to be invoiced as required. Saves so much time and prevents inaccuracies. Invoicing - again, it should do this well and it does. Non payment reminders are automatic and clients have no excuses for not knowing the status of their account. Account dashboard - gives me an instant overview of the health of the business (am I on track to meet my yearly targets) and my accounts. Eddie May Web Developer & Internet Marketing Consultant Read full review
Cons	FreeAgent Reporting on financials, time tracking and project status is a little poor. It's adequate for what what we need, but would be great to see more advanced features. API is quite closed so cannot integrate with our other project management tools. Incentivized Anthony Stretten Technical & Operations Manager Read full review
Usability	FreeAgent I spent nearly two decades in IT and am happy to say that FreeAgent's user interface is one of the best interfaces I have ever used. Edgar Danielyan Director & Principal Consultant Read full review

Alternatives Considered	FreeAgent I have used and tested out many other systems. I was looking at Xero for my accounting system but at the time I chose FreeAgent because of the way it handles the recording of dividends and the inbuilt time recording. The others I trialed were good and many of them cheaper. FreeAgent best suited my requirements at the time. Incentivized Vince McConville Advisor / Director Read full review
Return on Investment	FreeAgent Professional and uniform offering providing great confident customer service. My clients love it, whether they use it a little or a lot. It's a great piece of software - while sophisticated, it's straightforward to use. Time saving and efficient use of my team's time. Being able to easily share and compare work / tasks.
