I use Barclays and they have a data feed specifically for this kind of thing. I don't give my log in details, just added the account and then I got some communication from Barclays asking me to authorise it (can't remember the exact process, think I had an authorisation code sent in the post).
It's a read only feed.Public Service Posting by the BBC - Bloggs Bulls**t Corp.

You loose money from your account for ANY reason and the bank will refuse the claim because you compromised your account deliberately. It matters not a jot how the account gets compromised. The banks are very clear on this. Give your security details to ANYONE and NO claim for loss will be considered.

Just takes a few clicks and a phone call to Barclay's to setup.

I personally wouldn't be to worried if the feed did require your login details, but it is probably worth checking the small print with your particular bank.
In this day and age, with so many apps that can use banking feeds, banks really should sort out read only feeds like Barclay's have.Comment

Our company is just moving from SJD spreadsheets to FreeAgent at the moment - we are in a 2 month parallel run to the end of company year.
They do a webinar each week for new people that you can sign up to - even if you are not signed up to FreeAgent itself.
They also provide both phone and email support before you join up - we asked quite a few questions before we moved, as well as a couple after.
So far our experience is good, it simplifies a lot of stuff that we were doing and gets them all in 1 place rather than an invoice system, payroll, and the spreadsheet. As of year end we intend to move fully across to FreeAgent. Don't think we've told our accountant yet thoughComment

1. Is VAT really one click ?
2. P11d - currently I fill out a questionnaire online and submit - is there a similar function in FA ?
3. Share split - I have a share split between myself and my wife - can FA deal with this when doing SA and the P11d ?
4. I don't have to give access to my business account to anyone do I ?Comment

Originally posted by Neil@Intouch View PostYes you can, when adding the invoice line, after selecting the date and client, you would change the quantity to 5, with the unit as days, then add the description i.e. 'Week ended 19/05/2017' and in the unit box at the bottom put the day rate. Final step will be to select 20% VAT, and then this can then be saved to your price list for adding this quicker next time.Comment
