I found harder to understand reports and some initial set-ups because I don't have a background in accounting, but it all made sense whith the help of customer support and later my accountant. > > Excellent. From sole trader to setting up and managing my solo-company. ----- ### "Cloud based accounting software with average performance" — 3.0/5 > **Preeti** | *9 September 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10 > > **Pros**: Ease of use. It is a user friendly software. > > **Cons**: The report quality could have been better. The format used in reports could be improved. ----- ### "Very good all round\!" — 5.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *16 September 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Free Agent came bundled with my NatWest account. It is easy to use with a clear interface and integrates well with my bank accounts. The mobile app is excellent and the support (both technically and professionally) is clear and of good standard. I find their email updates helpful. > > **Cons**: I would like them to be able to import transactions directly from Stripe as a ‘bank account’ as currently you have to manage this manually. > > Really positive and I would encourage everyone running a business to use their software. ----- ### "Straightforward online accounting software" — 4.0/5 > **Ollie** | *15 June 2024* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: I enjoy the simplicity in creating new invoices and the VAT breakdown being provided so it is clear to the client. It is easy to either download the invoice as a PDF and email it manually or do so via FreeAgent itself. > > **Cons**: As a new user I have found it difficult to change the status of an invoice ('paid' status in particular). ----- ### "Seriously overpriced awkward software" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 September 2018* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **Pros**: It does try very hard to be all things to minuscule businesses. The customer service department are available most of the time but not always competent. > > **Cons**: They guys who wrote it think they are cool so they write really unprofessional familiarity messages that are really desperate. The software is awkward, cumbersome and I don't trust the outcomes. It dangerously empowers unqualified users to do their own tax returns wrongly and invites HMRC to investigate them. It empowers unqualified users to process their own payroll wrongly meaning that they miss out on allowances that are available through qualified accountants. The software isn't capable of carrying out simple basic level bookkeeping tasks and the customer services department dream up complicated workarounds rather than getting the issues fixed. Buyers beware, > > I bought into the whole cool new FreeAgent software buzz and as the price was high, I thought, they must be able to offer better features than the others. To say that I was disappointed is a gross understatement. There are so many flaws in this software, I'm surprised they haven't yet been sued under fit for purpose laws. I definitely recommend staying away from this software and if you do have to use it, beware. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122008/freeagent?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122008/freeagent) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
