How it works

Three steps. That's genuinely it.

You're not learning tax law. You're answering questions you already know, and letting someone qualified take it from there.

1

Tell us about your year

Pick what fits: individual, self-employed, landlord, or VAT-registered, and answer a short set of questions built around it.

2

Upload and pay

Send over what you've got and pay securely by card or bank transfer. Nothing starts until you've paid.

3

Your accountant takes it

They prepare, message you if anything's missing, and file once you've approved it. You always know where things stand.
