Skip to main content Connect your workflows with Apron and FreeAgent
You’ve asked for it, we teased it at Accountex, and it’s finally arrived. We’re delighted to announce that FreeAgent now integrates with Apron to reduce manual data entry and sync up your systems - saving you precious admin time.
How does Apron work?
Apron is a scalable way for practices to manage their clients’ expenses, bills and payments from one central place. You can spend less time chasing missing receipts and explaining them, as Apron’s AI works autonomously to find documents, extract details and categorise them.
Now, Apron + FreeAgent gives you one shared workflow with your clients: fewer missing docs, smoother payment runs, and cleaner ledgers. You can connect your Apron and FreeAgent accounts to set up automatic two-way syncing for bills, contacts and categories.
“We built Apron to make every business payment simple, from the moment a bill lands to the moment it’s reconciled. This much-requested integration brings Apron and FreeAgent together, creating a single connected journey for every business payment, with bills and books kept in sync automatically.
“Business owners, accountants and bookkeepers get cleaner records and spend less time on admin, so they can focus on the work that helps their businesses grow.” - Bogdan Uzbekov, founder and CEO of Apron
Always in sync
No more uploading bills in multiple places or hunting down missing client’s bills. Any bills created or uploaded to Apron will sync to FreeAgent - and vice versa. Contacts and categories associated with each bill will also sync, giving you a single source of truth whichever platform you use.
And once the sync is complete, FreeAgent will automatically reconcile the bill against the matching bank transaction - removing another manual task from your list.
“Having used Apron with our clients for almost two years, this really was the missing piece of the jigsaw for us.
“Apron’s ability to read and process documents not only saves our clients valuable time but also improves the accuracy of the information being recorded in FreeAgent. It’s a fantastic step forward in streamlining our processes and improving the experience for our clients.” - Nicola Glass, Nuvo Scotland
What’s coming soon?
We’re not even done! We’re working on an even deeper integration which’ll cut out more friction from the payments process.
We’re developing a new payment button for bills in FreeAgent, seamlessly linking into your Apron account. You and your clients will be able to pay bills individually - or in bulk. And your clients will get the option to pay with their credit card - even if the bill issuer doesn’t usually accept credit cards - giving them greater control over their cashflow.
Ready to get started?
Connect an Apron account to FreeAgent and bring in the bills!
