Client books, VAT returns, income tax quarterly updates and year-end accounts, for practices and bookkeepers coming from VT, BTCSoftware and other desktop packages. Accountin prepares the returns and accounts, and files them with HMRC and Companies House once its filing approvals are in place.

Client books from the bank feed

Bank transactions come in from the bank's statement file, as CSV, OFX, QFX or QIF. Accountin suggests a code and a VAT rate for each one, and you confirm them in a batch.

  • Sales and purchase ledgers, with aged debtors and creditors
  • Journals, fixed assets, accruals and prepayments
  • Several people working on the same client at once

VAT returns and income tax updates

VAT returns are worked out from the books, approved by the client from their phone if you want, and sent to HMRC under Making Tax Digital once HMRC grants Accountin live access. Sole traders and landlords get their quarterly income tax updates and final declaration the same way.

  • Standard, cash and flat rate VAT schemes
  • Self-employment and UK property income, standard or calendar quarters
  • HMRC's reply kept against every submission, once sending is switched on

Year-end accounts, checked before they are filed

Micro-entity accounts under FRS 105 and small company accounts under FRS 102 Section 1A, from the trial balance, with the notes filled in. Accountin checks each set the way a reviewer would.

  • The balance sheet balances, this year and last
  • The fixed asset notes agree with both balance sheets
  • The profit and loss reserve carries from last year to this year

Try the Opportunity Engine

The Opportunity Engine is one of Accountin's advisory extras. It reads each client's figures, lists the advisory work that fits them, such as pension contributions, a fee review or a filing coming due, gives the reason in the client's own numbers and drafts the email to the client. The demo runs in your browser with a fictional practice and its clients.
