Setting up a practice or agency?
The best time to sort the emails, chasing and first drafts is before they pile up. I'll set up what a new practice or agency needs from day one, in your name, and show you it working before your first customer.
Or call 01206 636 400, or , my AI assistant.
Set up right, from day one.
A website from day one
A fast site with booking and enquiries built in, on a domain in your name. Yours once it's paid for.
From day oneLive before you open, so customers can find you and book.
An inbox that sorts itself
Email filed by client and urgency, with draft replies ready for you to check.
From day oneSet up before you open, so no early enquiry is missed.
Client chasing on autopilot
Polite reminders for missing documents and payments until everything's in.
From day oneTidy from the first job, so there's nothing to untangle later.

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.
