"It's made me feel smart, not stupid, about my company's finances."
FreeAgent is the financial management app that I'd almost given up waiting for. At last someone's had the balls, skill and accounting insight to build an online app that makes it really simple to handle my business's finances.
Yeah, I know, a big part of running a business is about managing finances, but I'm too busy selling, working with customers, travelling, trying to think of new ideas and keeping up with umpteen other things in my business to obsess over the finances. Yet, of course, I worry about my finances, and FreeAgent has given me back a complete sense of control over this neglected part of my business.
It's made me feel smart, not stupid, about my company's finances. I can pull up quick dashboard reports of my cashflow, generate VAT returns in minutes, not hours, and see exactly how much tax I should be expecting to pay this year.

"It's revolutionized how I manage my billing."
I'd been looking for a tool that allowed me to keep track of my workload for some time, so when I got the opportunity to try out FreeAgent I jumped at the chance. The interface is simple and intuitive to use, the time-tracking system helps me track every second spent on projects and invoicing has become a breeze. It's revolutionized how I manage my billing.
I would recommend Freeagent to any freelancer who wants to spend less time cursing spreadsheets and more time doing what they do best!

"Sorts out your VAT and Corporation tax, gives you an up to date financial position"
I have been using FreeAgent for 5 months now, and we are 3 directors of a software reseller company, all working from different locations.
FreeAgent is great due to it being a hosted solution, we can enter invoices, expenses, check our bank position etc from any location and suits us down to the ground due to our operating from numerous locations. All backed up every day, no hassles, a great easy to use product.
For small businesses operating from remote locations – I strongly recommend this solution – very easy to use – sorts out your VAT and Corporation tax, gives you an up to date financial position – what more could you ask for?

Other Reviews
Charlie Wood, Moonwatcher:
This is the kind of app that I most respect in that it takes something that’s a visceral pain for a specific group of people and aims to solve it simply."
Simon Hurst, AccountingWEB:
"The crucial aspect of Free Agent is that, for the first time in 600 years, a solution exists that will enable someone to cope with all aspects of their small business finances without needing the knowledge and experience that accountants spend years learning and acquiring."
David Tebbutt, SmallBizPod:
"The service immediately struck a chord with me because I am a free agent. I write, teach and publish software online. The service (no IT department needed, no need to worry about installing updates or taking backups) offers sole traders and small limited companies a simple and attractive way of keeping on top of projects, their time and billing, their expenses and their tax obligations."
Susan Scrupski, IT Insider:
"I was originally delighted by the pleasing user interface and easy to navigate design of the application and site. But what really impressed me is the depth of the product resources. Having been an independent consultant many more years than I have been an employee, this product is a consultant’s dream!"
Ric Hayman, Aqualung:
"While I’m not an accountant, I have spent a lot of time on financial stuff, and implemented a number of ERP-style accounting packages, so I was immediately struck by FAC’s simplicity. For someone used to something more complex, it can appear kindergarten-simple … but that means it almost certainly hits its target."
