Software firm lands biggest cloud accounting deal

Online accounting software outfit FreeAgent is celebrating after landing the biggest deal of its kind in the sector.

The Edinburgh-based firm, which targets small businesses and freelancers, said it now has more than 2,000 clients with accounting practice JSA and described the landmark figure as a “fantastic achievement”.

Chief executive and co-founder Ed Molyneux said: “JSA had already built a formidable reputation on the quality and responsiveness of their service.

“From the first time we got together, we all believed migrating to the FreeAgent platform could put them even further ahead. I think we’ve proved that to be true beyond any doubt.”

FreeAgent, which was launched in 2007, has more than 35,000 customers around the world.
