Outstanding Customer Support and Easy-to-Use Software

I've been using FreeAgent for my accounting & tax affairs & I couldn't be happier with both the platform & the support.
The software itself is easy to use, intuitive & makes managing my finances straightforward. One of my favourite features is being able to submit my tax return directly through the platform, which saves a huge amount of time & hassle.
What really sets FreeAgent apart, however, is the quality of their customer support. Every time I've contacted the support team with a question, they've been absolutely first class. They never rush the conversation, take the time to explain things clearly & make sure I fully understand how to navigate the platform. They're also great at pointing me towards additional resources & information that might be helpful.
In an age where good customer service can be hard to find, I've been genuinely blown away by the level of support I've received. The team clearly cares about helping customers get the most from the software.
I would highly recommend FreeAgent to anyone looking for accounting software that's both easy to use & backed by exceptional customer service.

I was struggling with my bookkeeping and trying to work it out what I needed to do on FreeAgent. I decided to give support a call and the agent called Stewart went through everything with me and spoke very clearly so I was able to understand what I needed to do we managed to get everything sorted. Stuart was an absolute star. He didn’t rush me and took a lot of stress away from me please can you ask Stuart personally kind regards John Wilcox.

The best I've used

I've used lots of other similar software over the years and FreeAgent seems to have the perfect mix of functionality, user interface and competitive pricing. The support (bot, articles and actual humans) is the stand out feature in my experience.
