Solid and easy to learn

Lovely to use day to day. Support can lag at busy times but the software itself is excellent.

Tidy and reliable

It handles my company accounts and Self Assessment without an accountant. I just wish the reporting went a little deeper.

Genuinely easy accounting

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

The tax timeline shows exactly what is due and when, so nothing sneaks up on me.

Cons

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

Self Assessment sorted in an afternoon

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.

MTD for VAT just works. I press submit and it goes to HMRC without any faff.

Cons

Not much really, it does what I need.

Recommend for freelancers

Covers invoicing, expenses and VAT really well. Inventory is the one thing it does not do for me.

Everything a freelancer needs

I got it free through my NatWest business account and it does far more than I expected for nothing.

Pros

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

Cons

It is aimed at smaller businesses, so you can outgrow it if you scale quickly.

Great for contractors, minor gaps

A year in and it runs smoothly. Getting it free with the bank makes the value a no brainer.
