Introducing FreeAgent Central

£2444. That’s the current total Lylo has paid to accountants in our first two years of business. For this bargain price we’ve had three tax returns and eight VAT returns filled in for us, whilst we’ve been saddled with meticulously maintaining a gargantuan spreadsheet of categorised expenses and bank transactions. Not exactly great value for money… unless you’re our accountant.

So, to simplify managing a small business (and to make doing so cheaper), I hooked up with Ed, Roan and Dennis to produce FreeAgent Central, an online service targeting UK-based freelancers, consultants and contractors, and this week we’re proudly announcing the launch of the public beta version.

In a nutshell, FreeAgent offers client management, invoicing, time tracking, expenses, payroll and tax calculation for sole traders and limited companies, securely, from your favourite web browser.

There are lots of other great features, with dozens more in the pipeline, so check out the product tour for a more in-depth look. If it floats your boat, sign up for a free beta tester account and prepare to say goodbye to spreadsheet hell!
