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. > > 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. ----- ### "Seriously overpriced awkward software" — 1.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *20 September 2018* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 0.0/10 > > **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, > > 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. ----- ### "Great for managing start-up accounTS" — 4.0/5 > **Rhys** | *6 May 2025* | Information Technology & Services | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > **Cons**: There could have been a few more reminders internally when invoices go unpaid. Rather than clicking through the list of 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. ----- ### "Free Agent for business" — 4.0/5 > **Verified Reviewer** | *14 December 2025* | Leisure, Travel & Tourism | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **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. > > Overall, pretty good, I didn't use it for to long due to business circumstances but it was good using an accounting softwear once you know how. ----- ### "Simple, secure and safe" — 4.0/5 > **Aidan** | *9 April 2026* | Entertainment | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10 > > **Pros**: Nice and easy to use once everything is all set up and ready to go. Everything feels super secure and has been a real help when communicating with my accountant for tax submissions, reporting etc. The way the system learns the more I use it has really helped make the process even quicker and automate most of my bookkeeping. > > **Cons**: At the start it was a little tricky to get used to everything and I do think that some of the reporting features are a little basic, but they do what they need to do so I can't really complain\! ----- Page: 1 / 8\ Next: [Next page](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122008/freeagent?page=2) ## Links - [View on Capterra](https://www.capterra.co.uk/software/122008/freeagent) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | de-AT | | | de-CH | | | en | | | en-AE | | | en-AU | | | en-CA | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-IL | | | en-IN | | | en-NZ | | | en-SG | | | en-ZA | | | es | | | es-AR | | | es-CL | | | es-CO | | | es-CR | | | es-DO | | | es-EC | | | es-MX | | | es-PA | | | es-PE | | | fr | | | fr-BE | | | fr-CA | | | fr-LU | | | it | | | nl | | | nl-BE | | | pt | | | pt-PT | | ----- ## Structured Data
