About Us
Our Philosophy
Freelancers and micro-businesses are the engine rooms of economies the world over. When we started out as freelancers, we wished we could concentrate more on doing the work we loved and less on managing invoices and crunching numbers. So we built FreeAgent.
And in these tough times, we're even more proud that by making accounting simple and understandable, we're doing our bit to ease the pain.

Roan Lavery
Lead Designer
After a stint as a research scientist, Roan spent many years at the coal face of modern web design, leading a Scottish web development agency and freelancing for clients around the world, until starting FreeAgent. His day-to-day duties include developing the application roadmap, crafting the user experience and general design lovin'.
Roan lives in Edinburgh with his lovely bride-to-be and spirited young daughter.

Emily Coltman
Support Accountant
Emily does her best to prove that being a Chartered Accountant doesn't necessarily make you a stuffed shirt who speaks nothing but accountantese. She has spent nearly all her working life helping small businesses with their accounts and tax, except for a brief stint with Whitbread where she assures us she was never given free beer (hic!).
She lives near Carlisle with her wonderful husband Matthew and spends part of her time working from home and part in the office.

David Gauld
Business Development Executive
We're almost glad that studying theatre didn't make David a great Hollywood superstar actor, because he's now one of the friendly faces of FreeAgent - sitting squarely on the front line of partner support and account management.
Living in Edinburgh with his wonderful Fiancee, David is addicted to tea.
