Genuinely easy accounting

The Corporation Tax and Self Assessment forecasting takes the fear out of the whole thing. I always know roughly what is coming.

Does the job beautifully

Covers invoicing, expenses and VAT really well. Inventory is the one thing it does not do for me.

Everything a freelancer needs

I contract through my own company and it handles dividends, expenses and Self Assessment without me needing an accountant.

The self employed and Self Assessment side is far friendlier than anything else I tried.

Cons

It is aimed at smaller businesses, so you can outgrow it if you scale quickly.

Genuinely easy accounting

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.

Decent but basic reporting

It was perfect when I started out, but as the business grew I hit the limits on reporting and stock.
