Making Tax Digital Software for Accountants & Bookkeepers

AccountsDesk is an HMRC recognised Making Tax Digital solution designed specifically for accounting practices managing self-employed, UK property and foreign property clients. Provide MTD compliant services whilst continuing to work with familiar spreadsheet-based workflows.

Many accounting firms have clients who prefer maintaining records in Excel rather than moving to full bookkeeping platforms. AccountsDesk helps bridge the gap between existing record-keeping processes and HMRC's digital reporting requirements.
