Excellent software, outstanding software support

The software is intuitive, reliable and packed with features that genuinely save time.

Every time I've contacted the support team, they've been friendly, knowledgeable and quick to respond.

Excellent software backed by outstanding customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.

Rental and Sole Trade MTD Accounts

I have both a rental and a sole trader MTD account with FreeAgent and have had call to speak to their helpline on numerous occasions. Each and every time I found the team incredibly professional, helpful and knowledgeable. If only all help lines were as good!

Very good support service received

The support team are fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly and give clear instructions on what steps need following to resolve a problem.
Having used various accounts packages in the past I am impressed with Free Agent. Takes a while to find your way around it, as with any new system, but as a free service with such excellent support thank you Nat West.

Very easy to use

Very easy to use. Lots of guidance about what needs to be completed. Lots of support available. Very straightforward input pages. I like that I can go at my own pace in getting set up well before the MTD for HMRC quarterly reporting. Feeling confident about adding this additional layer of admin. I can't believe it's been so easy and uncomplicated. A great relief.

When somebody unsubscribes

When somebody unsubscribes, you should let them use the software until the date of next billing cycle right. I paid because I needed to disconnect my HMRC from there and transfer to another account and they are blocking you from using software as soon as you unsubscibe! Disgousting.

I switched to FreeAgent from another Making Tax Digital (MTD) software provider because they didn’t offer telephone support. For me, being able to speak to a real person is far better than relying on bots, help guides or messaging systems. While FreeAgent’s live chat is good, their telephone support is excellent. Having someone who can see exactly what’s happening on your account makes resolving problems much quicker and easier.

I initially found linking my bank feed a little challenging and made a few mistakes along the way. However, I found an alternative approach that works well for me. The software is intuitive, and once you’ve spent a little time exploring it, it soon becomes easy to use.

I’ve done my own bookkeeping for the past 10 years and have no intention of employing an accountant. If you’re used to keeping a simple cash book or Excel spreadsheet, you can absolutely manage FreeAgent too.
