FreeAgent Integration

Automate invoice entry
straight into FreeAgent

Every supplier bill that hits your Gmail or Outlook inbox gets extracted and pushed into FreeAgent automatically — no downloading, no typing, no chasing.

The problem every FreeAgent user knows

Invoices arrive by email. FreeAgent is where they need to live. There's no bridge between the two — until now.

Invoices pile up in your inbox

Out of sight, out of mind — until your accountant asks for them.

Manual data entry eats your time

8–12 minutes per invoice adds up to hours every month.

Mistakes creep in

Typos in amounts, wrong dates, missed line items.

Late payments from missed bills

One overlooked email = a supplier chasing you for payment.

UK small business owners spend an average of 4–6 hours per month on invoice admin that could be fully automated.

How InboxBill connects your inbox to FreeAgent

Set up once in 2 minutes. Every invoice after that is handled automatically.

📋

Data extracted automatically

Supplier name, amount, VAT, invoice number, due date — all pulled from the email or PDF attachment.

🔗

Synced to FreeAgent

One click to approve, or set auto-approval rules. The bill lands in FreeAgent ready for reconciliation.

Built with FreeAgent users in mind

VAT-ready extraction

We extract VAT amounts separately so they map correctly to FreeAgent's tax fields — no manual correction.

Category rules

Tell us once: 'bills from this supplier go to Professional Services'. From then on, it's automatic every time.

Perfect for sole traders

FreeAgent is the accounting tool of choice for UK freelancers and contractors. We're built for the same audience.

Works with your accountant

We create the bill entry. Your accountant or bookkeeper still reviews and reconciles in FreeAgent as normal.

No missed invoices

Every invoice that arrives by email is captured — even ones forwarded from a client or sent from a new supplier.

Handles PDF attachments

Most supplier invoices are PDF attachments. We read the attachment directly, not just the email body.

Stop doing it the slow way

Every hour you spend entering invoices into FreeAgent is an hour you could spend on work that actually earns money.

I get invoices forwarded from a shared email address — does that work?
