BTCSoftware adds FreeAgent integration

BTCSoftware has added FreeAgent as an integrated trial balance feed for its accounts production application.

As part of an increasingly open stance since launching its BTCHub platform last year, the developer has added integrations for Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent alongside existing links for Sage Accounting and Reckon One. The links extract a trial balance from the bookkeeping software and can export any journals back to the nominal ledger, said a BTCSoftware announcement last week.

BTCSoftware said it was building integrations for company secretarial applications and that other bookkeeping systems were always being considered following user feedback.
