Every bill in FreeAgent, captured and categorised for you
Tailride finds your invoices wherever they land — inbox, supplier portals, messaging apps — pulls out every figure, and files them into FreeAgent as draft bills you just review and approve. Around five minutes to set up.
Getting bills into FreeAgent: your options
FreeAgent gives you a few built-in ways to get bills in. They handle the basics but still leave you doing the work.
Manual entry
SlowestKey each bill into FreeAgent by hand, field by field. Fine for a handful, but at volume it eats hours — and one mistake surfaces at reconciliation.
Email to FreeAgent
LimitedForward invoices to your FreeAgent inbox address and they arrive as draft bills. Handy — but it captures only the basics and still misses portal invoices entirely.
FreeAgent Snap
Mobile onlyFreeAgent's receipt capture app. Works on the go for photos, but it won't reach every portal and line-item detail is often incomplete.

Recommended
You stop chasing documents. Tailride pulls invoices from every source, reads them in full, checks the figures, and drops finished bills into FreeAgent — categorised with VAT handled, not merely captured.

What you get with Tailride for FreeAgent
Built for UK businesses and accountants who run FreeAgent and want bills in without hand-keying.
Pulls from your mailbox
Connect Gmail, Outlook or IMAP and Tailride lifts invoices as they arrive — attachments and in-body invoices alike, no forwarding rules to babysit.
Maps to your expense categories
Capture is only half of it — Tailride matches each bill to the correct FreeAgent category and VAT treatment, so nothing lands as a blank shell you finish by hand.
Reaches supplier portals
Plenty of invoices never hit your inbox. The Tailride browser extension grabs them straight from portals like Amazon and Meta while you're signed in. Browse portals →
Reads every field with AI
No per-supplier templates to build. The AI recognises vendor, dates, totals, VAT and line items on whatever layout it meets.
Flags the odd ones
Duplicates, totals that don't foot, and amounts that look wrong are caught before they ever reach your books.
Sends straight to FreeAgent
One click turns a captured invoice into a FreeAgent draft bill — line items, VAT and the source document all carried across.
