FreeAgent Announces New Integration With Xenon Connect

• Online accounting pioneer unveils integration with Xenon Connect to help accountants detect and clean up client bookkeeping errors

FreeAgent, the innovative online accounting software company, has teamed up with Xenon Connect to help accountancy practices deal with client bookkeeping mistakes more efficiently.

The two companies have built a new “two-way” integration between their software systems, which will provide accountants with automatic bookkeeping checks and give them key financial insights to help them run their practices better.

Under the integration, Xenon Connect will automatically run daily ‘health checks’ on FreeAgent data including unreconciled bank transactions, duplicate invoices and bills, unapproved invoices, old sales credits and miscellaneous items. It will then show errors for consideration, prioritise them by importance, and suggest corrections - which will then sync in FreeAgent once they have been addressed within Xenon Connect.

Stewart Hurd, Chief Sales Officer at FreeAgent, said: ”Identifying and fixing client errors can be a major time drain for accountancy practices and bookkeepers to deal with. Therefore we’re delighted to announce this new integration with Xenon Connect, which we think will greatly help to relieve the burden on them.

“With Xenon Connect performing daily checks on the information in FreeAgent and flagging up any issues directly, accountants will have greater visibility over their data and will be better informed to make any corrections. That means they’ll spend less time firefighting and have more time to provide better value services and insights for their clients.

“The integration is being unveiled at this year’s Accountex exhibition in London on May 15th. Attendees visiting FreeAgent at Stand 80 at the event will be able to see first hand how the two systems complement each other and boost efficiency for accountants and bookkeepers.

Gareth Salomon, founder of Xenon Connect, said: “Xenon Connect is extremely excited to partner with FreeAgent to bring bookkeeping data quality checks to bookkeepers and accountants throughout the FreeAgent community. Our mutual partners have been asking for this integration for a long time and we are excited to finally be able to deliver.“

This combination of a market leading core accounting package and innovative data quality checking software will greatly reduce the amount of time it takes our mutual partners to get to an accurate trial balance, providing them peace of mind and saving them money.”
