Ideal first accounting system

It handles my company accounts and Self Assessment without an accountant. I just wish the reporting went a little deeper.

Getting it free with my bank account makes it unbeatable value for a small business.

Cons

Stock and inventory is basically not there, so it does not suit a product business.

The tax forecast is a lifesaver

I got it free through my NatWest business account and it does far more than I expected for nothing.

Decent but basic reporting

Easy to use and the tax side is good, but I found the reports too simple once I needed more detail.

Too basic once you grow

The tax features are nice but the lack of proper inventory and deeper reporting meant we had to move on.

Free with my bank and brilliant

As a limited company director I used to dread the VAT return. FreeAgent files straight to HMRC and tells me what I owe well ahead of time.

Finally, MTD without the headache

I am not an accountant and it still made sense to me within a week. The tax timeline is the feature I did not know I needed.

Invoicing, bank feeds and VAT all sit in one tidy place. My accountant just logs in at year end and it is done.
