Built inside a working accountancy practice

The paperwork
arrives on its own.

Lisa is a bookkeeper that lives in WhatsApp. Receipts, cash sales and mileage go in as they happen — read, coded and filed the same day. Nothing to install, nothing to log into, nothing to remember.

✓ No app for anyone to install ✓ Xero, QuickBooks and FreeAgent ✓ Free while in beta

“took four hundred cash off Mrs Jones today”
Got it — £400 cash, today. In as well. That's the bit that usually never makes it into the books.
what am I looking at for tax?
On what's in so far this year: £4,180 put by. That's an estimate, not a bill — it moves every time something goes in.
Quarter's up on the 5th. I've got everything except August's fuel receipts — send those and you're done.
Message

Every figure here is made up — plausible, but nobody's real books.

Step one

Send it and forget it.

A photo of a receipt. A voice note in the van. A forwarded invoice. Whatever's easiest at the time — Lisa reads it, works out what it is, codes it, and puts it where it belongs.

Step two

Including the cash.

The £400 in notes that never gets written down anywhere. Say it out loud and it's in the books — the single biggest hole in most sole traders' records.

Step three

Ask it anything.

What have I spent this month, who still owes me, what should I put by. Plain questions, plain answers, from the actual figures rather than a guess.

Step four

Quarter end stops being a scramble.

Because nothing was left to the end. Lisa chases the last few gaps instead of you chasing the client — and it's already in Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent, coded, with the photos attached.

Mrs Jones still hasn't paid that £1,260. That's three weeks now.
chase her for me
Sent. Polite, not pushy. I'll try her again Friday if she goes quiet.
For accountancy practices

Stop chasing. Start receiving.

  • Works with the software you already run
  • Your clients install nothing, learn nothing
  • Records land coded, image attached
  • You keep the client and you keep the filing
For the self-employed

No app. No login. No spreadsheet.

  • Photograph a receipt, it's done
  • Log cash out loud, in a voice note
  • Mileage without an app to open
  • Nothing to set up on a Sunday night
Who it's for

You're chasing two hundred people, four times a year.

Your clients keep their Xero, QuickBooks or FreeAgent exactly as it is. Lisa sits in front of it and gets the paperwork out of people — the job nobody in your office wants. The carrier-bag clients finally have somewhere to put things.

Built by two accountants who got tired of the chasing.

Or

You are one of those two hundred.

You don't want accounting software. You want to not be in trouble. You save a number, you send it whatever you've got, and your records keep themselves — kept straight all year, ready for whoever files them.

It works the way you already text.

Why now

Filing was never the hard part.

Your software already files. What changed is how many times a year you have to get the paperwork out of somebody who doesn't want to give it to you.

That's a hiring decision. And it lands properly in April 2027, when the threshold drops to £30,000 and another wave arrives. Lisa is the part that stops it being one.

Where it goes

Straight into Xero.

Coded, dated, VAT worked out, with the photograph attached to the entry. Not a queue of things for somebody to review on a Friday — done, the day it happened.

Or

Straight into QuickBooks.

Same conversation, same result, different ledger. Your practice doesn't change anything about how it works — Lisa fits behind whatever you already run.

Or

Straight into FreeAgent.

Three ledgers, one way of working. Your client never knows or cares which one they're on — they just took a photo of a receipt.

And for the rest

The ones with no software at all.

The carrier-bag clients. They get Lisa's own set of books, so there's somewhere for it all to go — without buying them a subscription they'll never log into.

What it does

The jobs nobody does on time.

Not a feature list for the sake of one — these are the specific things that go missing between January and the following January.

🧾

Receipts

Photograph it. Lisa reads the supplier, the total and the VAT, codes it, and attaches the image to the entry.

💷

Cash sales

The money that never gets written down. Say it in a voice note and it's on the books the same minute.

🚐

Mileage

Where you went and why. No app to open, no log to keep, no reconstructing it from memory in April.

📤

Invoices

Raise one from a sentence. Lisa drafts it, you check it, it goes out — and it chases politely when nobody pays.

Straight answers

What have I spent, who owes me, what should I put by. From the real figures, with the working shown.

📎

Everything attached

Every entry carries its evidence. When somebody asks for the receipt eighteen months later, it's there.

Who's on it

The people who never send anything in.

Where it comes from

Lisa wasn't built in a lab and pointed at accountants. It was built inside a working practice, on real clients, because the chasing was eating the week.
