What's included

FreeAgent Accountants: everything you actually get

Not just the filings — the dedicated accountant, the contract guidance, the software, and the structure that makes freeagent accounting actually work for you.

FreeAgent Platinum Partner — included with every package

We're one of the UK's most active FreeAgent Platinum Partners. Every GoForma client gets a full FreeAgent licence included in their fixed monthly fee — never billed separately, never throttled, every feature switched on. New clients are migrated and live within 5 working days.

A FreeAgent-fluent accountant, not a generalist

Your dedicated accountant uses FreeAgent every day — they know the bank-feed quirks, the VAT margin scheme settings, mileage tracking, project profitability, the lot. Less time spent explaining how the software works, more time spent acting on what it shows.

VAT, payroll, Self-assessment filed straight from FreeAgent

MTD VAT returns submitted directly from FreeAgent each quarter. Payroll runs from FreeAgent's RTI module. Self-assessment data pulled clean from your books. One source of truth for everything HMRC needs — no spreadsheets, no exports, no version mismatch.

Migration from another accountant or software

On a different platform — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage, a spreadsheet? We handle the migration to FreeAgent end-to-end: opening balances, supplier/customer ledgers, VAT positions, fixed assets, payroll. You get a clean dataset and a 30-day handholding window so nothing slips.

Live training and unlimited support

1:1 onboarding session when you join, plus follow-up training as you need it — invoicing, expenses, mileage, project tracking, time billing, VAT settings. Stuck on something six months in? Send a screenshot, get a fix. Never charged for asking.

Proactive advice from live FreeAgent data

Because your books are live in FreeAgent, your accountant can see what's actually happening — profit trending up, VAT bill building, dividend headroom, R&D-eligible spend. We message you with planning ideas through the year, not just at year-end when it's too late to act.

What FreeAgent clients say after switching

Real reviews from real GoForma clients. Names match those on our verified Google profile.

★★★★★

FreeAgent included free is a no-brainer — it's £330/yr saved before you even count the accounting. Kabir runs my entire VAT return straight from FreeAgent each quarter; takes me about 5 minutes to approve.

Verified
★★★★★

Migrated from QuickBooks to FreeAgent in about a fortnight. Opening balances clean, supplier ledger right, VAT position correct. I haven't seen a migration go that smoothly anywhere else I've worked.

Verified
★★★★★

Their FreeAgent training session in week one changed how I run the business. Live profit, live tax estimate, live dividend headroom — I never have to guess any more.

★★★★★

Because everything's live in FreeAgent, my accountant can actually see what's going on and message me with planning ideas during the year — not just at year-end when it's too late to act.
