Perfect for a driving heavy trade

The Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now, and receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. There is no balance sheet, my accountant still does the year end, but we live with it.

Pros

There is no balance sheet, my accountant still does the year end.

Good for the self employed

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work. Only real gripe is that you outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate.

Mileage tracking alone is worth it

The Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now, and receipts scan straight in and the categories are usually right. The AI features are labelled beta and feel like it, but we live with it.

Does the MTD job on my phone

The automatic mileage tracking has paid for the subscription many times over. Only real gripe is that no free tier, so Sage looks cheaper if you barely drive for work.

The Self Assessment view maps to the boxes so January is calm now, and it detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal. No complaints so far.
