Ed, Olly and Roan founded FreeAgent in 2007, having each separately experienced the pain and confusion of managing the finances of their freelancing and consulting businesses. Based in Edinburgh since the outset, the company now has over 60,000 paying subscribers and employs 140 people. FreeAgent was floated on AIM, the junior market of the London Stock Exchange, in Nov 2016 and was acquired by the Royal Bank of Scotland Group in June 2018. All three co-founders are still involved in running the business, Ed as CEO, Olly and Chief Technology Officer and Roan as Chief Product Officer.
