Your management accounts, tax forecasts, cashflow position and MTD filings all depend on the records in your accounting software. If the software does not fit the business, the accounts end up full of workarounds. We help you choose the platform that fits how you trade.
A growing agency with Stripe revenue and contractor payments needs different software from a landlord managing a six-property portfolio. We assess your setup, match you with the right platform, handle the migration, connect your bank feeds, and show you the daily essentials.
Since 6 April 2026, Making Tax Digital (MTD) for ITSA has applied if your gross turnover on your 2024-25 tax return was over £50,000.
Moving onto one of the supported platforms now means the quarterly updates are produced and filed from data that is already current, rather than reconstructed from spreadsheets and bank statements as the deadline approaches.
Four cloud platforms, each suited to different records. We match the platform to the way the business trades, then handle the migration so the accounts start on data that's already clean.
For growing limited companies, current records mean management accounts and tax forecasts can be updated before year-end.
Suits project-based businesses that need to track profitability per job or per client. QuickBooks helps directors see which work is making money and which is not.
Built around sole traders and small service businesses. FreeAgent shows the estimated tax liability as it moves, so Self Assessment is not left to January. MTD-ready for April 2026.
Property portfolios need rental income, voids and multi-property reporting handled by category. Hammock gives us the clean data to manage property tax obligations and prepare for MTD for ITSA.
It depends on your structure. Growing limited companies often suit Xero because of its integrations. Project-based consultancies and businesses already using QuickBooks may be better on QuickBooks Online. Sole traders often prefer FreeAgent, and landlords may need property platforms like Hammock. We assess your model and recommend the right fit.
The subscription is usually offset by the time saved on bookkeeping and the tax position clean data makes clearer. Some platforms come bundled at no extra cost: FreeAgent is included with several business bank accounts (Mettle, NatWest and Royal Bank of Scotland), so for a sole trader or small limited company on those banks the platform is effectively free.
By 6 April 2026, if your gross qualifying income exceeds £50,000, HMRC legally requires you to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates using HMRC-recognised software. Manual spreadsheets and paper records will no longer be legally compliant.
Yes. The setup, the bank feeds, and the migration of your historic data are on us. Once the platform is live, we run you through the few daily tasks that genuinely belong with you (photographing a receipt, raising an invoice) and the rest of the bookkeeping, reconciliations and filings stay with us.
A short call is enough to look at how you currently trade, recommend the platform that fits, and plan the migration, so the accounts start on data that is already clean.
