Founded in 2007 by Ed Molyneux, Olly Headey, and Roan Lavery, FreeAgent was created to simplify accounting for small business owners and freelancers. The company's mission is to "democratise accounting" by providing an easy-to-use, cloud-based platform for managing invoices, expenses, payroll, and tax returns. In 2018, FreeAgent was acquired by the NatWest Group (formerly RBS Group), allowing it to offer its software for free to the bank's business customers while continuing to operate as an independent entity. The software is particularly tailored to the UK market, with features like Making Tax Digital (MTD) for VAT and Self Assessment tax return filing directly to HMRC.
