FreeAgent is a great piece of software which the team at Sidekick use to manage the business and accounting of our clients. It is specially designed for contractors, freelancers and consultants; professionals who want control over their own finances whilst not foregoing the support of a traditional accountant. There are many benefits to using this software, some of which you might not expect. Here is our list of the 5 best things about FreeAgent.

1. OVERVIEW

FreeAgent is great because it allows you to view all of your accounting information in one place. The Sidekick dashboard is clear, concise and transparent. When using a conventional accountant it can be hard to access this sort of information without a large amount of email or phone call back-and-forth. With the FreeAgent dashboard, the overview is available to you whenever you need it.

2. IN-DEPTH

Whilst the Sidekick FreeAgent software can give you a great overview of the progress of your accounts, we don’t scrimp on the details. The dashboard can be broken down into individual sections which can reveal information about different aspects of your business finances. Take the banking dashboard for example; split your overall business account balance down into your different accounts. Our cash flow dashboard can tell you how you’re performing month-on-month.

3. INSTANT

Another advantage of using Sidekick’s FreeAgent software over a conventional accountant comes with the fact that the Sidekick dashboard is updated in real time. You can instantly track the progress of your business accounts with a glance at our dashboard. We think this simplifies the accounting process by a long way. You can see the changes made to your finances for yourself.

4. EASY TO USE

Not only is our FreeAgent dashboard informative, it’s also really easy to use. Our clients generally pick up on how to use our software pretty fast, so we’re confident that it is straightforward enough for most professionals.

5. CONTROL AND SUPPORT

Using Sidekick’s FreeAgent-powered software gives you complete control over your finances without sacrificing any of the support that a traditional accountant provides. Our team are experts in everything to do with contractor accounting, and they are always on hand to offer advice and support. We’re only a phone call or email away. We’ve even got a Live Chat on our website for instant assistance. Each of our packages also comes complete with our Professional Freelancers Guide. With all of this support on hand, you can feel both independent and secure when it comes to your accounting.
