What they did

The poster says a quick prompt to Claude Code now handles invoicing by checking their emails for the invoice details, using a connection to FreeAgent, drafting the invoice email, and sending it with the PO number. They also say Claude can pull bookkeeping details for accountant conversations; a commenter advised keeping the final send as a human approval step and limiting FreeAgent access.

How it went

The stated result was that invoices can be sent within a minute and bookkeeping details can be gathered in seconds, contributing to more free evenings, weekends, and sleep. The thread gives no hard metrics beyond those time claims, and a commenter flags the risk of bad inbox inputs triggering account actions.

Worth knowing

The main catch from the comments is to require manual approval before sending and give FreeAgent the narrowest permissions possible.
