EDINBURGH, SCOTLAND, August 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) FreeAgent has dramatically overhauled its award-winning online accounting system in order to make it easier than ever for small businesses and freelancers to stay on top of their finances.

As part of an extensive development project, FreeAgent has revamped and upgraded key areas of its cloud accounting software, ensuring it is more intuitive to use for tens of thousands of customers across the UK and overseas.

The redesign was released to beta testers earlier this year, before being rolled out to all FreeAgent customers in June.

Among the key changes are:
- A completely re-imagined Overview page including a new cash flow reporting panel
- The ability to see account balance charts totalled over all bank accounts
- A new contact summary screen with useful data around client/supplier performance
- New charts that have been optimised to work on iPhones and iPads

Roan Lavery, Product Designer and co-founder of FreeAgent, said: "Our redesign has been a real labour of love. We've spent the past year refining and upgrading the system so that it provides our customers with the best possible solution for managing their accounts - and we're delighted with the results.

"Our customers regularly give us great feedback, and we listened carefully to many of the specific upgrades and new feature requests they wanted to see in FreeAgent. We've used a lot of these suggestions during our redesign and, judging by the overwhelmingly positive reaction we've had so far, it's clear that our customers are very happy with the changes that we've made.

"We're committed to ensuring FreeAgent is the most intuitive and useful online accounting system on the market for small businesses and freelancers. We believe this redesign will provide all of our customers with the best possible way to manage their business finances."

Gold's Performance Reflects Continued Challenging Economic Climate

2012-08-19

Global gold demand in Q2 2012 was 990.0 tonnes (t), down 7% from the 1,065.8t in Q2 2011 according to the World Gold Council's Gold Demand Trends report. This dip in demand was partly due to the comparison with exceptional demand last year, and also reflects the challenging global economic climate. In this context, gold performed as expected, acting as both a store of value and a source of liquidity. In value terms gold demand remained relatively stable year on year at US$51.2 billion, compared to US$51.6 billion in Q2 2011. During the quarter, the average price of gold ...

Study reveals new molecular target for melanoma treatment

2012-08-18

A laboratory study led by UNC medical oncologist Stergios Moschos, MD, demonstrates how a new targeted drug, Elesclomol, blocks oxidative phosphorylation, which appears to play essential role in melanoma that has not been well-understood. Elesclomol (Synta Pharmaceuticals, Lexington, MA) was previously shown to have clinical benefit only in patients with normal serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a laboratory test routinely used to assess activity of disease. For more than 60 years, scientists have known that cancer cells undergo glycolysis, or metabolize glucose, at ...

Princeton study reveals the brain's mysterious switchboard operator

2012-08-18

A mysterious region deep in the human brain could be where we sort through the onslaught of stimuli from the outside world and focus on the information most important to our behavior and survival, Princeton University researchers have found. The researchers report in the journal Science that an area of our brain called the pulvinar regulates communication between clusters of brain cells as our brain focuses on the people and objects that need our attention. Like a switchboard operator, the pulvinar makes sure that separate areas of the visual cortex — which processes ...

2012-08-18

TORONTO, Ontario (August 17, 2012) –An 'all-natural' method for studying pancreatic islets, the small tissues responsible for insulin production and regulation in the body, has recently been developed by researchers at the University of Toronto's Institute of Biomaterials and Biomedical Engineering (IBBME) to try to track metabolic changes in living tissues in 'real time' and without additional chemicals or drugs. It's an organically-minded approach that could lead to big changes in our understanding of diabetes and other diseases. Assistant Professor Jonathon V. ...

Trust in management key to avoiding correctional staff burnout Wayne State research finds

2012-08-18

DETROIT — Correctional facility employees who trust supervisors and management are less likely to experience job burnout, a Wayne State University researcher has found. "Trust builds commitment and involvement in the job," said Eric Lambert, Ph.D., professor and chair of criminal justice in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, "but lack of trust leads to burnout and stresses people out." A correctional facility employee himself before becoming an academic, Lambert developed his study of staff members at a private Midwestern juvenile detention facility after learning ...

2012-08-18

Satellite imagery on August 17 is showing signs of re-organization in the remnants of Tropical Depression 7 (TD7). TD7 has moved into the warm waters of the Bay of Campeche where it is regaining strength and appears much more organized. NASA's GOES Project created a visible image of the remnants of Tropical Depression 7 from August 17 at 9:45 a.m. EDT (1345 UTC) from NOAA's GOES-13 satellite. The image showed several areas of stronger thunderstorms. The stronger thunderstorms appear brighter white in the imagery and are located around the center and to the northeast of ...
