It quietly does invoicing, purchases and VAT for my one man band without ever asking for a penny.
MTD VAT submissions go through without any trouble.
Support is community and email led rather than phone.

The VAT returns submit fine under MTD and the bank tagging is quick once you set the rules up.
Multi currency is handy for the odd overseas invoice.
None so far.
Landlord, Danebridge Consulting
When I got stuck the community forum had an answer within the hour. You do not expect that from free software.

I could not get on with how dated it felt and there was no one to call when I got stuck.
It did not cost anything to try.
No phone support at all.
