Pros

Reporting is thin if you want anything beyond income and expenses. There is no balance sheet, so my accountant still does a year end job. Looking at alternatives.
Pros
Quarterly updates take about ten minutes once the bank feed is set up.
Cons
Reporting is thin if you want anything beyond income and expenses.

Does the MTD job without the ceremony
The free tier covered everything I needed until I registered for VAT, and categorising expenses on the phone while sat in the van works well. Importing two years of history from a spreadsheet was fiddly, but we live with it.

You outgrow it the moment you register for VAT, and no payroll at all, which caught me out when I took someone on. Categorising expenses on the phone while sat in the van works well, which is about the only positive.
