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.

Pricing

One flat fee. No surprises after.

Every plan includes a qualified accountant and our accuracy guarantee.

Good to know

Questions people ask before starting

Once your rolling 12-month turnover crosses £90,000 (2024/25). You can also register voluntarily below that, which sometimes makes sense.

Usually quarterly, via the Making Tax Digital system. Your accountant handles filing and payment reminders.

A simplified VAT scheme where you pay a flat percentage of turnover instead of tracking every input and output. Suits some small businesses; not others. We'll work out which is cheaper for you.

HMRC's penalty points system kicks in after repeated defaults. Miss the threshold and you get financial penalties. We file on time to avoid all of it.
