Copilot went from gimmick to genuinely useful in a year

When Copilot launched I ignored it. Now I ask it things like which clients pay late on average and it answers with actual figures from my books, which has changed how I set payment terms.

Pros

Copilot for plain English questions about the numbers. Automatic invoice chasing recovered at least two invoices we would have written off. Quotes to invoices workflow is slick.

Cons

The interface has some dated corners, the settings area feels like a different product from a different decade. Search within transactions could be faster.

Small business books without the bookkeeper

Photographing receipts in the van between jobs means the paperwork mountain never forms in the first place. My other half calls it the marriage saver.

It does the boring things brilliantly and the clever things adequately. For a business our size that is the right way round.

Getting ready for MTD on the rental portfolio

With the income tax changes covering landlords I moved the portfolio accounts onto Sage ahead of time. Quarterly figures are now a button press instead of a bookkeeping weekend.

Pros

Property income and expenses categorised per property using the analysis codes. The quarterly MTD submission workflow was ready well before the deadline. Bank rules catch the regular rents automatically.

Cons

It is generic accounting software so anything landlord specific like deposit protection or tenancy tracking lives elsewhere. Chat support did not understand an MTD question that phone support answered immediately.

Cannot recommend after our year

Eight months of dropped feeds, double posted transactions after sync errors and support tickets that closed without fixes. The accountant now has a cleanup bill to rival the subscription. We moved and the new product has been drama free.

Recommend for VAT registered businesses

A year in and it does what we bought it for. A few workflow quirks and a price step after the offer period, but the VAT and invoicing side has been faultless.
