In Part 2, I mentioned how I used Google Docs as a way of managing business records. Although this turned out to be a reasonable solution, I soon found myself wanting something more bespoke.
Enter FreeAgent. I heard a few other freelancers recommending this service, so I signed up for a free 30 day trial to see what the fuss was about. FreeAgent provides a way of managing your client details, invoices and tax affairs. The interface is very slick and friendly, and means keeping on top of record keeping is now much less of a chore!
I’ve now been using the paid service for 2 months and I can heartily recommend it. If you want to give it a go, you can use this link to get 10% off the subscription price of FreeAgent.
