Never miss billable work because you forgot to record it.
Fill in your mileage details while still in your car (or on your bike). Record expenses before you even leave the table.
“App is great and other than when doing my numbers etc rarely log in to FreeAgent doing most of it on the train.” – Martin Chard, Cerdren
Update 19/01/2012:
- v1.8 is now in the AppStore – Including making Dropbox work better; Mileage can now have decimals (1.5 miles) and images; and some visual cleanup.
- FreeAgent announced they are powering the My Business Works program with Barclays Bank. mobileAgent works great with My Business Works accounts, but you do need to do some minor setup.
If you are having any issues with MobileAgent (eg logging in), please see the support page!
Now you can access your FreeAgent or IRIS OpenBooks account on your iPhone or iPod Touch using MobileAgent – the mobile client for FreeAgent and IRIS OpenBooks, the UK’s best online accounting solutions. It also works with the resellers of FreeAgent and OpenBooks, like Maslins Online, and My Business Works.
Get in, log your data, and get on with making money
With mobileAgent you can:
- Create timeslips: Either by adding a new task to a project, or logging time against an existing task. Add comments to your timeslips so you can recall what you did on the day.
- Log mileage: Handles all allowed forms of transport (car, motorcycle, bicycle), so you can reclaim and rebill your mileage.
- Enter expenses: Just paid for lunch? No need to remember to do it when you get back to the office – log the expense into FreeAgent at the table.
- View your outstanding, overdue and draft invoices.
- Attach a photo of the expense when you enter it. No more keeping receipts and scanning them “later”.
- Take photos of receipts for later upload. The receipts can be send via email, or stored in Dropbox, so you can get to them easily later.
- Add and update contact and projects. You can add a new project, or change the phone number of a contact when you find out about it, rather than waiting until you are back at your computer.
- Enter items while you’re offline: Enter things when you remember – even while underground or on a plane. Sync back to FreeAgent next time you’re connected.
- Sync your contacts with the iPhone. Either take your FreeAgent contacts and create contacts on your phone, or import your phone contacts into FreeAgent. There are more details about this here.
