If you’ve ever prepared your self-assessment return, you know how time-consuming it can be. Even with the regular updates from the HMRC, managing the process independently can be challenging. But spreadsheets and tax rules shouldn’t be this overwhelming. The good news is that modern software — and support from a self-assessment accountant — can make things much easier.
At Allenby Accountants, we can recommend reliable platforms that streamline tax filing and help you stay compliant. You don’t need in-depth tax knowledge to use these tools because they’re designed to be easy to navigate, helping you complete your tax return more efficiently and with less stress. Although there’s a cost to using them, the time saved — and the reduced risk of mistakes or penalties — often makes it worthwhile.
Let’s take a look at some of the well-known Self-Assessment software options available in the UK:
- QuickBooks is a widely trusted platform for preparing Self-Assessment returns. It’s packed with automation tools and real-time tracking features that help you stay organised well ahead of the HMRC deadline.
- Xero Tax is another well-established option our self-assessment accountant can recommend, especially if you’re already using Xero’s bookkeeping tools. It allows you to prepare and submit both personal and company tax returns with ease.
- ClearBooks is an easy-to-use platform built with sole traders and landlords in mind. It simplifies the Self Assessment process by letting you manage all your transactions in one place, giving you more time to focus on running your business.
