FreeAgent gets friendly

FreeAgent has signed up five firms of accountants which will act as partners for the FreeAgent service.

Partnerships of this kind are usually regarded as ‘tick on the box’ arrangements designed to show that professionals have some interest in the service. On this occasion, the situation is different.

Each of these firms specialize in or have business units devoted to servicing the freelance community. That makes FreeAgent a good fit for these practices rather than using the scattergun tactics that other vendors choose.

The goal is to assist professionals in providing a streamlined service that shifts the emphasis to value add. At the same time, FreeAgent is engaging in a limited amount of co-development that will see the service improve in areas like error trapping and provide intelligent information for the professional to assess expense deduction validity.
