Now FreeAgent is one of the UK's most popular online accounting software providers, with over 200,000 customers.
Not to blow our own horn … but in 2025 ICB LUCA Awards named FreeAgent the 'Friendliest Software of the Year' for the sixth time (following wins in 2019, 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024), and in 2024 we won the UK Customer Experience silver award for 'Customers at the Heart of Everything'. The list could go on!

FreeAgent is an equal opportunities employer, and we invest in our people and culture to ensure we have a happy, diverse, and high-performing team. We strongly encourage applications from people with varied backgrounds and perspectives. All applicants are considered for employment without attention to ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, disability, family, or parental status.
We hope the detail in our job advertisements is informative but not limiting. Research shows, and we’ve observed, that underrepresented groups are less likely to apply for a role without meeting all of the criteria listed. If this feels relatable we’d encourage you to apply, even if you think there may be areas for development.
