Company mission

To streamline business admin for small businesses, leaving them to focus on the more important stuff.

Our take

With mounting piles of invoices, spreadsheets and receipts, bookkeeping can be a complex and time-consuming task for small businesses. FreeAgent’s award-winning accounting software removes the stress and pain of dealing with business finances by streamlining business admin for small businesses from one comprehensive platform.

The company is partnered with a wide range of professional networks, small business accelerators and co-working spaces (including BizBritain, Creative Entrepreneurs, Made Simple Group, Advantage Business Partnerships, and IPSE) amassing over 125,000 customers across the UK.

Through FreeAgent, businesses can manage admin, tax returns, invoicing, and business overviews. Its comprehensive business accounting capabilities have it well set to remain one of the UK’s most popular online accounting software for micro-businesses. It also continues to launch new features, such as an AI integration with Jenesys that supplies users with an “intelligent bookkeeper”.
