The tax timeline shows exactly what the company owes HMRC and when, which ended my quarterly panic. The interface explains UK tax concepts in plain language as you go.
Pros
Tax timeline shows every deadline ahead

We migrated a UK client from a shoebox to FreeAgent in a week and the books have been clean since. The interface explains UK tax concepts in plain language as you go. Every UK filing deadline appears on the timeline months ahead. For SA freelancers with UK clients this is the answer.
Pros
Free with certain UK business bank accounts; perfect for UK contractor companies
Cons
Multi currency is serviceable not central

Our client's entity grew and the product visibly strained. No rand books, no SARS returns, nothing local, I moved to a local product.
Cons
Board reporting hit the ceiling

We love using it and wince slightly when the pound billing lands. The API is decent but the integration catalogue is thin next to the big names. The UK bank feeds are solid and reconciliation is a five minute weekly habit.
Pros
Automatic invoice reminders that work
Cons
UK tax only, nothing for SARS

Our outsourcing practice keeps 60 UK client files on it and the consistency is a gift. The interface explains UK tax concepts in plain language as you go.
Pros
Friendliest interface in accounting software

Our client's entity grew and the product visibly strained. The reporting could not answer our board's basic questions.
Pros
UK VAT filed to HMRC in clicks
Cons
Currency workarounds in spreadsheets. Board reporting hit the ceiling

The VAT return builds itself and files to HMRC under Making Tax Digital in a click.
Cons
Reporting stays deliberately shallow

My UK entity banks with Mettle so the software costs literally nothing. Mileage and out of pocket expenses stopped leaking through the cracks. Recommended across our whole outsourcing team.
Pros
UK VAT filed to HMRC in clicks; free with certain UK business bank accounts
Cons
No inventory at all

The dashboard shows profit, tax owed and cash in one honest screen. Corporation tax estimates update live, no surprises at year end.
Pros
Friendliest interface in accounting software; uK VAT filed to HMRC in clicks
Cons
Multi currency is serviceable not central

Great at its job, its job is smaller than some expect. Larger UK entities outgrow it, it is honest about being for small ones.
Pros
Automatic invoice reminders that work; bank rules automate the tagging
Cons
Larger entities outgrow it

The tax timeline shows exactly what the company owes HMRC and when, which ended my quarterly panic. The interface explains UK tax concepts in plain language as you go. If your clients are British, do your books like the British do.

We migrated a UK client from a shoebox to FreeAgent in a week and the books have been clean since. Payroll for my one UK employee runs inside the same product.
Pros
Projects with time and cost tracking; self assessment accumulates through the year

Great at its job, its job is smaller than some expect. Multi currency exists but the heart of the product beats in pounds.
Pros
Automatic invoice reminders that work
Cons
Pound pricing moves with the rand

After 5 years my UK company admin takes an hour a month. Mileage and out of pocket expenses stopped leaking through the cracks. If your clients are British, do your books like the British do.
Cons
Reporting stays deliberately shallow

The tax timeline shows exactly what the company owes HMRC and when, which ended my quarterly panic. Dividend vouchers and the director loan account are handled properly for UK companies. Support replies read like they were written by someone who actually read my question.
Pros
Perfect for UK contractor companies; genuinely excellent support team

The pound price at rand income stopped making sense for me. A currency conversion on every invoice line was a spreadsheet job in the end. No rand books, no SARS returns, nothing local, I moved to a local product.
Cons
Board reporting hit the ceiling

My UK accountant works in the same file, so year end is a review rather than a rebuild. Mileage and out of pocket expenses stopped leaking through the cracks.
Pros
Tax timeline shows every deadline ahead

Our outsourcing practice keeps 18 UK client files on it and the consistency is a gift. Every UK filing deadline appears on the timeline months ahead.

Great at its job, its job is smaller than some expect. Stock is not a concept here, service businesses only.
Pros

Cons
Reporting stays deliberately shallow

Beautiful software with a very specific passport. The API is decent but the integration catalogue is thin next to the big names. Dividend vouchers and the director loan account are handled properly for UK companies.
Cons
No inventory at all
