## Reviews

### "It makes managing your company easy" — 5.0/5

> **Jonathan** | *9 November 2024* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Cloud based accounting software with average performance" — 3.0/5

> **Preeti** | *9 September 2024* | Accounting | Recommendation rating: 5.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Ease of use. It is a user friendly software.
> 
> **Cons**: The report quality could have been better. The format used in reports could be improved.

-----

### "Best accounting software for individuals, small and medium size company" — 5.0/5

> **Natalie** | *1 September 2024* | Design | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: Easy to learn: I could start from recording basic expenses to manage my bills and invoices.
> 
> **Cons**: Not sure. I found harder to understand reports and some initial set-ups because I don't have a background in accounting, but it all made sense whith the help of customer support and later my accountant.
> 
> Excellent. From sole trader to setting  up and managing my solo-company.

-----

### "Made me feel stress-free in my VAT filings and transactions" — 5.0/5

> **Jhonny** | *11 April 2025* | Construction | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: With FreeAgent I am notified on the next vat filing that need to be carried out which helps me track all my daily obligations well. It has eliminated data entry errors and allows me to ensure that my books are in compliance instead of spending time importing transactions.
> 
> **Cons**: I observed difficulties in managing invoices when the currency used is foreign currency. I could not alter the exchange rates whenever they had disparities I noticed.

-----

### "Very good all round\!" — 5.0/5

> **Verified Reviewer** | *16 September 2024* | Computer Software | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: 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.
> 
> Really positive and I would encourage everyone running a business to use their software.
