How FreeAgent helps tradespeople

Access from anywhere

Instead of battling with a van full of receipts, trade businesses can use the FreeAgent mobile app on the go to immediately snap a photo of a receipt and add it as an expense to a project, track their time, or convert an estimate into an invoice.

Make good business decisions

FreeAgent’s tax timeline and cashflow reporting make it easy for clients to keep on top of upcoming VAT deadlines and helps with decisions like when to invest in new equipment or supplies.

FreeAgent also meets your compliance needs for all your CIS clients, both subcontractors and contractors.

Mobile app

Clients can stay on top of admin like tracking time and expenses on the go with the FreeAgent mobile app.

Invoices

Clients can convert estimates into invoices on their mobile phone, including CIS-supported invoices.

MTD-ready

FreeAgent is ready for MTD for Income Tax. Submit quarterly filings and final declarations directly to HMRC.

I find the estimates feature very helpful. I create an estimate and the customer agrees on the price. Once we do the work, one button turns it into an invoice and I send it over.
