Always a quick response on the phone, speak to a real person. Helpful and understanding.
Customer service is great. Software is very good with a good online help for most queries. I used to use Xero but FreeAgent is better.
The agent went beyond the question l asked to explain further details.
Got up and running with no previous accounting software experience. So that is good. Some features are quite hard to find so it was a case of using AI to query some things.
Great software that I've trusted for years! Support is fantastic and genuinely helpful. I tried running Xero alongside FreeAgent, wondering if it might be better - I closed off the Xero account after a couple of months - FreeAgent is much better!

As a first time business owner its nice to have everything in one place.
Still getting to grips with everything but so far so good.
Very happy with software. Easy to use and can be integrated with banks to update transactions feed automatically.
Been using FreeAgent for several years now and really appreciate how relatively easy it's made managing finances and submitting returns from the start, and how 'deep' it's functionality seems to go the more I look. What's prompted this particular review is I'd been struggling with one technical aspect (an old payroll and moving to cash basis) and eventually resorted to phoning the support number. Have to admit it was as much a last resort and I wasn't expecting much (distant call centre, lots of time explaining the problem, and no solution) but was blown away by the opposite - the support was beyond exceptional. The person who took my call immediately understood the problem including the very text of the screens I was looking at, then explained clearly and convincingly what options were available, and the exact implications of each and how significant they might be in future scenarios. To really put the icing on the cake, they also then quickly liaised with a colleague to confirm how they could work within the FreeAgent provisions to help me even further.
Not only did the call handler have a deep understanding of FreeAgent, but they also showed excellent knowledge of accounting more generally, in order to relate the two and explain things in real-world outcomes. I honestly felt as though I was talking to a personal accountant whose sole focus was to explain the options and their pros and cons, and in a truly friendly, competent and inspiring manner. No amount of money seems able to buy this quality and extent of support anywhere else these days, I was truly blown away by it at the time and for days afterwards (and still am!) Thank you doesn't come close.

Great, so simple, much better than quickbooks. Had a query and it was resolved quickly via live chat and support. Everything is so much better already.

It charged me eventhough I am a Natwest customer and the subscription is supposed to be free. Company house did not accept the microaccounts extracted, but it was accepted last year. The help said it’s only for bookkeeping and I need to use other software like Quickbooks. I received this information too late after I had paid the subscription and uploaded all the bank statement one by one, because it would not let me login to the Natwest Bank account for automatic bank feeds. The help was not useful.

I think it's a great tool. Easy to use, allowing hmrc returns directly from the platform really helps. The staff are always helpful for queries. Although they can advise, they are able to direct and reassure use of the tool. They help you understand key things needed to be done.
Freeagent notified me that my account would be closed, yet failed to provide any reason for this decision. I challenged the closure and explicitly requested clarification, but no explanation was ever given.
Providing notice while refusing to justify the decision is not transparency — it is avoidance. When a company takes action that directly impacts a customer and then refuses to explain why, it raises serious concerns about fairness, accountability, and customer treatment.
Based on this experience, I would strongly caution anyone considering their services.

The customer service rep knew exactly what I needed and the issue was sorted.
Very good for accouting purposes, they respond straight away when there's a question about what to do next.
We purchased an annual subscription and paid for the full year upfront. Unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing.
The bank synchronisation with Revolut was poor and unreliable. Not all accounts synced properly, transactions were often missing, and the connection was inconsistent. This defeats the whole purpose of using accounting software.
The interface itself is inconvenient and confusing. Many basic tasks are not intuitive and take far more time than they should.
The biggest issue came when we cancelled the subscription. Access to the platform was terminated immediately, yet no refund was provided for the remaining unused months of the annual plan. This feels unfair and unprofessional.
Due to poor functionality, unreliable bank sync, and an unacceptable cancellation policy, I cannot recommend this software to anyone.
