FreeAgent Training for Accountants

The go-to platform for sole traders and micro-businesses — learn how to support FreeAgent clients efficiently and profitably.

Why FreeAgent training is essential for your practice

FreeAgent occupies a unique position in the UK market. Designed specifically for freelancers, sole traders, and micro-businesses, it handles self-assessment, expenses, invoicing, and project tracking in a way that's intuitive for business owners but often unfamiliar to accountants trained on Zoho Books, Xero, or Sage.

The NatWest and RBS partnership means any NatWest, RBS, or Ulster Bank business account holder gets FreeAgent free — driving massive adoption among sole traders and freelancers. If your team can't navigate FreeAgent confidently, you're turning away clients or spending twice as long supporting them.

Self-Assessment & Tax Returns

FreeAgent's real-time tax timeline updates automatically as transactions are entered. We train on how FreeAgent calculates tax, reviewing and adjusting estimates, handling capital allowances, and exporting data for filing.

Expense Tracking & Mileage

FreeAgent handles expenses differently. We cover expense categories, use-of-home allowance, mileage claims with HMRC-approved rates, and managing expenses from personal versus business accounts.

Invoicing & Project Tracking

Time tracked against projects, converted into invoices with a few clicks. We train on project budgets, time and expense tracking, recurring invoices, overdue chasing, and project profitability reports.

NatWest & RBS Free Accounts

We show how to leverage the free FreeAgent account in client onboarding: setup, bank feed connection, and positioning it as a value-added benefit when pitching to sole trader prospects.

Practice Dashboard & Multi-Client Management

FreeAgent's Practice Dashboard provides a bird's-eye view across all client accounts. We train on managing workload, spotting clients falling behind, and prioritising year-end preparation.
