The system is well laid out and easy to find your way around the software. If you entre any mistakes it is easy to alter them without to much messing around. The bank feeds are a little slow; about one day behind otherwise this is the best site for value and usability.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for taking the time to review and share your feedback with us. It's great to hear that you are finding FreeAgent easy to navigate and simple when it comes to editing any mistakes.

On the bank feed side, our Open Banking connections run once every 24 hours after transactions have fully cleared with your bank, which helps ensure we pull through complete data rather than partial pending updates.

Thanks,
Team FreeAgent

No fuss - just sorted!

I had made an invoicing mistake, then compounded it with another one. My accountant quickly explained the need for me to create new invoices.

The freeagent call handler then helped me sort out the 'technical' parts removing the credits and correctly reapplying as invoices.

To have someone do this with you rather than just directing you to a FAQ is immensely helpful. Took a lot less of my time and made my day a lot less stressful.

Thanks!!

These guys customer service is exceptional

I have used Freeagent since the beginning of the year and they are simply amazing. Every time I call they answer right away, one time I asked for a callback and they returned my call within 5 minutes.
They are so helpful and patient and I cannot recommend them enough. Keep up the fantastic work

10/5 FreeAgent is Amazing and Mettle makes it FREE!

FreeAgent is Amazing! Did I mention it’s FREE with a Free Mettle account too?

Well, that’s one of the first things I say to clients. I’ve been using FreeAgent for YEARS and I can’t fault it. It’s user friendly, I’ve been able to refer clients who aren’t tech savvy and they’re happily using it!

As a sole trader you can complete your self assessment in house, you always know where you stand, no last dash in the last month! FreeAgent learns your transactions from connected bank accounts so most of the time you’re just hitting approve and uploading the receipts.. which again is super easy via computer or app!

The dashboard is very well laid out, you can easily see your cashflow and navigate to where you need to be to create invoices, approve transactions, see your open and overdue invoices, what ever you need- it’s all accessible! No hidden menus- you can even use it to keep track of your stock inventory!

I used to pay the subscription and it was worth every penny and then mettle appeared.. another fantastic addition, a FREE business bank account suitable for sole traders, connects with FreeAgent and everything syncs together. The added bonus is having this FREE business bank account (which also helps you save for your tax bill using pots)... you get FreeAgent for FREE!!

Another great feature are the payment options for clients, I can email invoices from my computer or phone in seconds, they are send a professional PDF with my business logo, my chosen text and it also sends them a payment link where they can pay via card if they prefer!

Customer service is also amazing.. IF you should ever need support, the turnaround is super quick, and every ‘issue’ I’ve had has been minor but fixed in a flash!

10/5

Don't mix business with pleasure!

I made a mistake and mixed up personal and business transactions and, as I had not done this before, I needed help to resolve. I checked the on-line help available but could not find a suitable answer. I emailed my dilemma and a response was swift, courteous and easy to follow. I followed the instructions and easily resolved the issue.

FA let me file an invalid/illegal CT600.

I run a small business. I make charity donations. FreeAgent, despite knowing my account has transactions coded correctly in this category, let me file an invalid/illegal CT600. Their documentation - small print - says they don't emit valid CT600's if charity donations are involved - so why can't they prevent you from filing-in-error in the first place?
