From bank statement to filed with HMRC, while you watch.

One client. One month. Press play and watch the whole engagement run itself: the bank feed lands, every transaction is categorised with its VAT treatment, the ledger reconciles, the nine-box MTD VAT return fills in and goes to HMRC, the reports draw themselves, and the year-end pack is filed. Your team touches only the three items the AI wasn't sure about — they're waiting for you in the review queue on the right.

Why UK practices are automating this now

Making Tax Digital turns one filing a year into many, for far more clients — the firms that win 2026–2028 are the ones whose pipeline runs itself and whose people only touch judgement calls.

This demo

Everything is simulated in your browser: the bank feed, the AI categorisation, the matching, HMRC’s responses. One HTML file, no keys, no tracking.
Hazelbrook Coffee Roasters, Jess and every number are fictional — but the workflow, the VAT nuances (zero-rated beans, 20% café sales, exempt rent) and the nine boxes are the real shape of the work.
The review queue is the point: the machine does volume, your people do judgement.

In production at your practice

Real Open Banking feeds and receipt capture into the ledger you already run — Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent.
LLM categorisation trained on your chart of accounts, with per-client rules that learn from every correction your team makes.
VAT and quarterly MTD submissions through HMRC-recognised software; partner review stays in the loop before anything is filed. Typically 2–4 weeks per workflow, one client segment at a time.
