Free with my bank and brilliant

I contract through my own company and it handles dividends, expenses and Self Assessment without me needing an accountant.

Pros

The self employed and Self Assessment side is far friendlier than anything else I tried.

Cons

Stock and inventory is basically not there, so it does not suit a product business.

The tax forecast is a lifesaver

The Corporation Tax and Self Assessment forecasting takes the fear out of the whole thing. I always know roughly what is coming.

Everything a freelancer needs

I am not an accountant and it still made sense to me within a week. The tax timeline is the feature I did not know I needed.
