Simple, and it files

Mixed. The automatic mileage tracking has paid for the subscription many times over, but there is no balance sheet, my accountant still does the year end.

Pros

Simple, and it files

No free tier, so Sage looks cheaper if you barely drive for work, and you outgrow it the second you register for VAT or incorporate. Quarterly updates went to HMRC with no fuss at all, which is about the only positive.

Pros

Cons

Mileage tracking alone is worth it

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work. It detects trips and I just swipe to say business or personal.

Pros

Everything is on the phone, which suits how I actually work.

Cons

Reporting is thin beyond income and expenses.

Does the MTD job on my phone

Good for the self employed

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.
