I would leave no stars if I could

I would leave no stars if I could, uploaded the App to see whether it suits my needs, It doesn’t and now I have been charged without warning! I never actually used it. I find it very sneaky practice, not to give a warning that you will issue a fee even if you don’t use it. I want a refund!

Very pleased with Freeagent

Very useful tool to have in our business. The lovely agent Rebecca talked me through everything we may need to use and was very patient with me while finding things that she pointed out. Highly recommend using this to keep all finances upto date.

Thanks to RBS for including FreeAgent…

Thanks to RBS for including FreeAgent with my newly opened business account. This is a terrific tool especially for small business owners with limited time or knowledge of invoicing, accounting and management of their financial position.

Great service from Ewen

I've been using FreeAgent for 6 years with no issues. I had one problem recently with linking a second bank account. Ewen was amazing and I'm now sorted!

I have been working with FreeAgent for…

I have been working with FreeAgent for over 2 years now. Excellent product and support. Comprehensive training for clients and agents alike. Successfully filed my first MTD submissions this week for both Corporate and Personal Tax Returns. I trialed 3 other similar softwares before settling on FreeAgent, best decision. Easy to use

I have FreeAgent free for two years…

I have FreeAgent free for two years through RBS. On the whole, it's made accounting very easy and I'm grateful for that. The only downside is that automated recognition of invoices is only free up to 10 documents per month. A larger allowance or unlimited usage would be nice. After all, RBS is presumably paying for it for now!

I like this app as it helps me organise my financials, I have not tried the company and tax filing but I hope it works just as fine and do the work.

FreeAgent is not just good, it’s brilliant

FreeAgent is not just good, it is exceptional. As a piece of software it is amongst the best. It is exceptionally well designed and implemented. It is 100% perfectly suited to its task. The product and development team on FreeAgent should be proud of their accomplishment. Sincerely, it’s really not that often that a piece of software like this is a real joy to use. It has made managing my business so much easier and enjoyable.

The app pop up never goes away

It works for our needs. But the app pop up and 'add a bill' thing never seem to go away. We have the app and our bills are all tracked automatically through the system.
