Comments on: Endorsements that matter: FreeAgent wins http://www.accmanpro.com/2009/05/08/endorsements-that-matter-freeagent-wins/ Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:01:51 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Phil Richards http://www.accmanpro.com/2009/05/08/endorsements-that-matter-freeagent-wins/comment-page-1/#comment-6311 Phil Richards Mon, 11 May 2009 07:24:01 +0000 http://www.accmanpro.com/?p=4728#comment-6311 Yes agreed too :-) We have more clients moving over to FreeAgent each week, and we have had good feedback from those clients whose records now up to date and on the system. The possibilities are very exciting and it is changing the way we are working with our clients. I agree with M about the one sided journals concern, but, even if you forced a double entry then if the client does not know what to enter and uses a "suspense" account or other account in error, its just as bad. Time will tell though I guess. My experience is that FreeAgent delivers what it sets out too, and when I change my thinking away from some tradditions and think in the same way as "FreeAgent business logic" then everything falls into place very well. A good example was dealing with an intercompany loan account by using Bank Account section instead of focussing on the fact that there was no loan account, and it works very neatly :-) Yes agreed too :-)

At the ripe old age of 31 I have had a bellyful of unpicking rubbish records. I can't believe there are still accountants out there who make no effort to improve their clients' record-keeping. Don't get me started :-) FreeAgent, from what I've seen of it, is very slick and easy to use. My only gripe with it is that users can post one-way journals, which could be dangerous in the wrong hands. M Agreed.
