FreeAgent among top ten on 2013 Deloitte Fast 50

LONDON, UK: FreeAgent, the UK's market-leader in online accounting, has been named among 2013's fastest growing technology firms.

The company - which provides an award-winning online accounting system for small businesses and freelancers - featured in 8th place on this year's prestigious Deloitte Fast 50 list in recognition of its impressive growth over the past five years.

FreeAgent reported a 2128 pc rise in turnover in the period 2007-2012 to earn its place on the Fast 50 - the annual list that Deloitte publishes of the 50 fastest growing technology companies across the whole of the UK. During the same period, FreeAgent has also grown from a fledgling three-man operation into a thriving business with more than 34,000 customers worldwide and which employs more than 50 people in its Edinburgh HQ and remotely throughout the rest of the country.

Ed Molyneux, CEO and co-founder of FreeAgent, said: "The past few years have been an incredible journey for FreeAgent. When we first started out in 2007, there was just me and my two co-founders involved with running the business. We were former freelancers armed with a vision of providing an intuitive accounting system that would help put sole traders and small business owners back in control of their finances.
