Accounting software is a digital tool that helps businesses manage their financial admin and tax responsibilities. Accounting software, like FreeAgent, is designed to automate away tedious, manual admin tasks and make managing your bookkeeping borderline enjoyable (if we do say so ourselves).

If you have a business bank account with either NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland or Ulster Bank, you're entitled to a completely free FreeAgent account for as long as you retain your bank account. If you have a Mettle bank account, you get FreeAgent for free as long as you make at least one transaction per month through your Mettle account. FreeAgent was acquired by NatWest Group in 2018 but remains operationally independent.

Can I import my data into FreeAgent?
Yes! If you’re using spreadsheets or other accounting software, there are some simple steps to follow to switch to FreeAgent and import your accounting data. When you have set your accounting dates and opening balances, you will be able to import up to two years of bank transactions and also move all your contacts into FreeAgent.
