No staff to hand things to, so the emails, chasing and first drafts all land on you. I set up AI to take them off your plate, then look after it every month.

Year-end
Instead of chasing forty clients for receipts by hand, each gets a friendly reminder with a checklist until everything's in. You only deal with the stragglers.
Making Tax Digital reaches sole traders with income over £30,000 in April 2027, and over £20,000 a year later. Practices that automate the chasing now will cope with quarterly updates.

Read the call
- Amy Good afternoon, Tallyford Bookkeeping. I'm Amy, Toni's AI assistant, and calls are recorded so Toni gets your message. How can I help?
- Caller Hiya. I'm a self-employed decorator, and a mate says I've got to do some new digital tax thing. I'm a bit worried, to be honest. I've only ever done one return a year.
- Amy That'll be Making Tax Digital. I can't give tax advice, but Toni can tell you whether it applies to you. Toni's doing free twenty-minute calls for sole traders this autumn. Would you like one?
- Caller Yeah, go on. Sooner the better.
- Amy I'll just check Toni's diary.
- Amy There's Thursday at quarter past four, or Monday at nine. It's a phone call, so you can do it from the van.
- Caller Thursday, then. I finish early Thursdays. It's Kevin Pryke.
- Amy Thanks, Kevin. You're booked for Thursday at quarter past four. Would you like the confirmation by email or text?
- Caller Text, please. I never check my emails.
- Amy No problem. I'll text it now, with a short list of what to have to hand, like last year's tax return.
- Caller Cheers. That's a weight off.
- Amy You're welcome, Kevin. Toni will ring you on this number on Thursday.
