Love the bank imports and ease of reconciliations. RTI and VAT submissions submit to HMRC straight from the software. I could go on and on here, but having had business since 1999, the importance of having great finance management as a small business can't be understated\! > > **Cons**: At the moment you can scan/photograph expenses and it can complete the data entry using AI. I can't wait until this can happen for bills too\! > > A few times, I've had to contact their support. They have live-help and the accountants are amazingly responsive, understanding and helpful. One of the best supports I've had in any software. ----- ### "Been using for over ten years" — 5.0/5 > **Bob** | *20 September 2023* | Marketing & Advertising | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I always know my financial and tax situation. I'm never in the dark. You put in the info as you generate it and you'll never be in any doubt about your financial health. > > **Cons**: I know Xero has lots of bells and whistles but Freeagent is simple to use, predictable and the support is from UK or US based specialists who really know what they're talking about. > > Freeagent has been the heart of my business for over ten years. ----- ### "Exceptionally Poor Customer Support" — 1.0/5 > **Oscar** | *18 September 2015* | Information Technology & Services > > I originally found Freeagent around three years ago. I was very excited when I found I could use Freeagent through "My Business Works", a service offered by Barclays, at a reduced rate - except nobody decided to make it clear support is outsourced to "My Business Works" - perhaps the most key feature of freeagent. For around three years I have always been in contact with friendly, kind and lovely staff at Freeagent who have always been happy to provide us with support - I have always avoided "My Business Works Support" as their staff are especially unhelpful, condescending and rude. That was until today. A stubborn, although polite lady refused to give us support despite my explanation of the poor support "My Business Works" offers. Quite simply her unkind, unfriendly action has lost a customer, we are moving to a far more powerful and equally easy to use software called Xilo, with much better support in January. I used to think Freeagent was an actual service whereby one might not be bound to the selfish red-rape rules of the world, and was instead a friendly platform with every customer's interest at heart. I would recommend all to consider Xilo over Freeagent. That is of course unless you want a kick in the teeth for being a long-term loyal customer\! ----- ### "Great Product" — 5.0/5 > **Peter** | *18 October 2023* | Sports | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: It has made invoicing and tracking payments very easy.I like the way I can create categories to record paymnents in against > > **Cons**: Haven't found anything yet that i don't like.I am still trying to work out how I track work done on a job that i do weekly that i then invoice monthly > > very pleased with it.i was looking for an easy way to send invoices and track payments . This does this and more. ----- ### "FreeAgent is perfect for small businesses" — 5.0/5 > **Marius** | *30 December 2023* | Retail | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: The best thing about FreeAgent is that you can get it for free if you use their offer to set up and use "Mettle" bank account. Also, their menu is perfectly minimalistic to make it fully functioning for our purposes and not making it overwhelming to use. > > **Cons**: Bank reconciliation lacks automation. There is "guess" rules function but you can't modify how it works and it often makes mistakes. > > Overall, FreeAgent is perfect for small businesses, it has just enough functions to meet most of our needs and it has very easy navigation, which is great for people who've never used an accounting software before. ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/9663/freeagent?page=2) ## Links - [View on GetApp](https://www.getapp.co.nz/software/9663/freeagent) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-MX | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | ----- ## Structured Data
