Notability not established. I could find a couple of reviews but, per WP:NSOFT, "[r]eviews must be significant, from a reliable source, and/or assert notability" and none is more than a routine review of yet another accounting package. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 17:44, 25 December 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete New references are not significant coverage, although the BBC article is very close. Walter Görlitz (talk) 07:29, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Do not delete I'm struggling to understand why these are "very close" but still not acceptable? This seems arbitrary and subjective, and hence insubstantial to warrant the deletion of this page. The clear fact of the matter here is that there is clear coverage from BBC, TechCrunch, Wall Street Journal and The Guardian about this business to demonstrate it's relevance. Several smaller competitors of this product have Wikipedia pages with what I would consider less substantial coverage. FreeAgent is the UK market-leading SaaS provider of accounting software. --Lylo (talk) 10:39, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Changed my mind to weak keep after adding material based on the sources found by Lylo (with the note that WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS is not a valid argument). Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 11:04, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
