So in summary: No, no one here appears to have used them.
And no, no one here would be tempted to touch them with a barge pole.
Probably.

You obviously don't realise it, but getting the answers you did. That are not in line with what you wanted. CUK members have done you a massive favour.

Probably not. Probably because everyone on this forum that uses FA is happy with it and has never experienced "having to keep track of endless email chains... awful!". Are you involved with Ember or something? It looks like a very recent start-up to me - probably too early to tell.

Ruth Blader - an American living in France who was either born in July 1977 or July 1978, depending on which records in CoHo to believe. Her address is a company called Anthemis, and once you start looking at their company structure you'll end up in a rabbit warren.
But it's also worth noting that in the 2 years Ember have been running, they're on to their 4th address.
I think I'll stick with FreeAgent

Just a SaaS package with support. They say they have accountants but I bet you'll have to go through 1st line support to get to talk to one.
And the worst part is, if the service is sh1t you can't just take the software to another accountant. You're stuck with theirs.

But what I like about Ember is that they have a messaging system on the platform which FA doesn't. And they are pretty prompt to reply. I used FA + accountants for my last contract and it was the usual story of having to keep track of endless email chains... awful!
