Still the best cloud accounting software, but needs improvement

Pros:

After using FreeAgent for an additional few years, it is still one of the best cloud accounting softwares in my experience. The price hasn't changed at all.

Cons:

Their support is still hit-and-miss, and the changes with the currencies and the bugs with inaccurate balances is still a problem.

FreeAgent makes small business accounting easier

We sampled FreeAgent and found it very easy to learn and use and it was easy to get assistance with the support.

Pros:

What I like most about FreeAgent is that it is a good way to invoice clients and track payments as well as manage expenses. It is a great product for small businesses. I also like that is uses the cloud.

Cons:

The negative about FreeAgent is that ist is based in the UK and only offers free access if you have a bank in the UK. It also does not have tiered pricing like Quickbooks offers.

Reasons for switching to FreeAgent

We switched from Quickbooks to try out FreeAgent due to the ease of use and cost of FreeAgent.

Seriously overpriced awkward software

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.

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,

Vendor Response

Hi there, Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts. FreeAgent works with 1,000+ accountant practices in the UK who use and recommend us for their small business clients.

Our software is fully compliant and we¿re recognised as an approved partner by HMRC. See their lists of approved software providers here: http://ow.ly/5PA530m2EB3. We also recommend our customers work with an accountant when needed and share a directory of accountants: http://ow.ly/OU2T30m2OJZ. We're nationally recognised in the industry and were recently awarded Small Business Accounting Software of the Year: http://ow.ly/oZZv30m2E11. As we're constantly working to grow our software, we really appreciate user feedback. If you¿re happy to share more, we¿d love to hear from you: support@freeagent.com Many thanks, FreeAgent Team

Pros:

The clean interface, helpful guidance and once you do know how to use it, the ease of use. It made accounting easier and came free with Mettle.

Cons:

It is a learning curve and a bit fiddly, but all these softwears are. I did find that if you didn't dial in the account perfectly it did get messy at times.

It makes managing your company easy

Overall I think this is a great application. I don't often need to go searching for answers on how to use it, but when I do, there is also a good knowledge base to fall back onto.

Pros:

The best thing about FreeAgent is the dashboard view. From here I can see at a glance how my business is running, with clear visuals giving trends over time for cashflow, invoicing timeline, bank balances, expenses, bills, profit and loss and tax.

Cons:

When entering an expense (not using smart capture) it is really easy to put the wrong date in.

Reasons for choosing FreeAgent

Accountants supported FreeAgent but not QuickBooks.

Great for managing start-up accounTS

Freeagent is an easy way of keeping track of company accounts. For a small company such as ourselves, it is important that we have a solid accounting software which dosen't cost the earth. My overall experience was great, and it was implemented well internally.

Pros:

I like the UI the most, it's clean and simple. Easy to create company profiles and set up quotes and invoices. Great for when multiple people need invoice the same account.

There could have been a few more reminders internally when invoices go unpaid. Rather than clicking through the list of accounts.

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.
