⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Accounting Software

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Excellent Accounting Software – Reliable, Simple, and Time-Saving

I’ve been using FreeAgent for my business and it’s been an absolute game-changer. The platform is very user-friendly and designed with small businesses and contractors in mind. Invoices, expenses, payroll, and bank feeds are all connected in one clean dashboard, making it easy to stay on top of cash flow and tax deadlines.

The automatic invoice reminders and direct bank integration save hours every week, and the customer support team is always quick, friendly, and helpful whenever I’ve needed assistance. I also appreciate how clearly VAT, PAYE, and Corporation Tax are calculated — no more guesswork or spreadsheets.

FreeAgent keeps everything transparent, professional, and stress-free. Highly recommended for any UK-based business that values accuracy, automation, and simplicity.

Five stars for FreeAgent

Five stars for FreeAgent. Before choosing FreeAgent for the MTD for HMRC as a Soletrader, I was overwhelmed with the new requirements in submitting Self Assessment . I did try an alternative bit of software from a so called 'market leader' and found it unbelievably complicated with unintelligible customer service.
I moved to FreeAgent for a free trial and found the customer support immediately accessible and superb. The interface of the software is easy to understand with a little help from customer support. All the agents are articulate and well informed and patient. Being based in Scotland means that you have a good telephone connection. After one week I was so impressive I signed up for one year and paid up front. I recommend both the ease of use of the software and especially the excellent customer service. If there is something you do not understand it only takes one phone call to quickly find yourself talking to someone who understands and can explain everything.

So refreshing in this day and age to get to speak with a human being. No long waits and several efforts to divert you to an automated chat or website.

The staff are brilliant and know the answer to everything. They talk you through the process via access to your screen and explain everything including correcting any mistakes you’ve made.

Absolutely brilliant service and this is why I would recommend a Nat West Business Account.

Accounting made easy

Freeagent is super easy for people at all stages, anything you may struggle to navigate initially can be easily figured out with their support/FAQs. If you have it as a Mettle add on you can attach invoices to Mettle which will transfer over automatically, otherwise you can add them when reconciling each transaction on Freeagent so you have all of your invoices in one place.
There is a bulk reconcile feature which I haven’t yet tested but this seems like it could be helpful for (especially if invoices have been added through Mettle)

Absolutely amazing!

I've been using FreeAgent for the last couple of months since setting up as a sole trader, on recommendation from my accountant. Right from day one I've been impressed with the customer support provided which is absolutely amazing. Being able to deal with real people in a very timely manner makes life much easier. I've recently been talking with Winnie who has offered invaluable insights into a VAT query I had. The FreeAgent support team really do care; it's not just quick answers and hyperlinks, all responses are tailored to each specific request.

And the software! Wow! Seamless, swift, and works across browser and app smoothly. In fact, it's a joy to use. Perfect UI and UX.
