Simple Invoicing and Account Management

I'm using FreeAgent to streamline my invoicing and accounts process.
  • Simple Invoicing - really easy to set up and send out with online payment integrations.
  • Bank Feeds - having transactions automatically feed in from my bank account is a great timesaver.
  • Expenses Tracking - simple process to keep track of expenses and receipts.
Cons
  • It would be great if you were able to manage transaction explanations on mobile.
FreeAgent is more suited to small teams and sole traders.

FreeAgent is a perfect accounting solution for consultancies / professional service firms

We use FreeAgent to maintain accounts, run payroll, submit VAT returns, etc. Pretty much everything that a small consultancy needs to do, FreeAgent does and does well.
  • Easy to use and understand
  • Excellent user interface
  • Bank feeds
Cons
  • None really - aside from adding even more integration FreeAgent is good as it is
I believe FreeAgent would be appropriate for almost any SME, especially professional services firms and consultancies like ours.

I started using FreeAgent three years ago and after years of relying on spreadsheets for small businesses I was delighted with the results ! I would recommend it, and often do, to any small business. The dashboard is a must have tool for keeping you up to date and in check with all the tax positions and vital business needs.
  • Ease of use.
  • Bank feed.
  • Amazingly quick support.
Cons
  • More developed apps.
  • Comparison of year on year results from within programme.
Are you a small business who needs more accurate accounts on a daily basis?

As a sole trader FreeAgent is my accounting rock and is used for everything from invoicing to VAT returns.
  • Consolidation of bank accounts. Easy to use and hassle free.
  • Data feed from bank accounts. Easy to get your bank account details into the system.
  • VAT returns are very easy. Just put in your details and Free agent works it all out for you and sends it to HMRC for you too.
Cons
  • If your customer pays you for a number of invoices in one payment it is a bit tricky to sort out. Once you know how it is OK but I did have to use the help desk a couple of times
I strongly recommend FreeAgent - it is so much better for me than other systems I have used in the past.
