Sage charges for engagement letters. Xero charges for workpapers. We include everything.
Exception-First Review
Stop reviewing every transaction. Review only the ones that need you.
Penny categorises 90%+ of transactions automatically before you open the file. Your review queue shows only exceptions — uncategorised items, low confidence scores, and flagged anomalies. You spend minutes reviewing, not hours.
AI-Populated Workpapers
Workpapers that fill themselves.
Penny pre-populates all workpaper schedules directly from client transaction data. No manual data entry. No copy-paste. Open the workpaper, review, sign off. Xero charges extra for workpapers. We include them free.
AI Report Commentary
Penny writes the narrative. You add the expertise.
Penny generates plain-English commentary on every client’s financial reports — P&L movements, cash flow trends, tax position changes. Send it as-is or edit before it goes to the client. Either way it takes seconds, not hours.
Direct HMRC Filing
VAT returns and Self Assessment filed direct from the portal.
File VAT returns and Self Assessment directly to HMRC from inside the accountant portal — no switching between systems, no re-keying data. Pre-submission checks flag anomalies before anything goes to HMRC. Junior approval workflows ensure nothing files without senior sign-off.
Tax Calendar
Every client deadline. One view. Nothing missed.
All client VAT deadlines, Self Assessment dates, CIS returns, Corporation Tax, and PAYE tracked in one colour-coded calendar. Automated alerts fire before anything goes overdue. Filter by client, by deadline type, by urgency.
Year-End Pack
Generated in seconds. Included free.
Complete Year-End Pack generated automatically from client data — trial balance, P&L, balance sheet, workpapers, and supporting schedules. One click. Sage charges for this. We include it on every practice account at no cost.
HMRC Submission Tracking
Every filing status. Every reference. Every receipt.
See every client’s filing status with HMRC references at a glance. Download submission receipts. Email confirmations to clients automatically. No more chasing HMRC for proof of filing.
Bulk Operations
Batch actions across your entire client base.
Batch invoice download, bulk communications, ZIP exports — handle operations across dozens of clients in a single action. No more clicking through each client individually. Select, action, done.
Engagement Letters & KYC
Unlimited engagement letters. Unlimited KYC. Both included free.
Generate, send, and track engagement letters and KYC assessments for every client — unlimited, included, no per-document charges. Sage bills per document. We don’t charge for either. Ever.
Client Onboarding
A new client goes from zero to compliant in minutes.
Structured step-by-step onboarding workflow for every new client — Companies House verification, KYC, engagement letter, bank connection, opening balances. Penny guides the client through each step automatically. You just approve.
Bulk Client Communications
Message all your clients in one action.
Send deadline reminders, document requests, or practice updates to all clients or filtered groups in one action. Via email, Telegram, or SMS. No other bookkeeping platform offers bulk messaging to clients via messaging apps.
Practice Manager
Every job. Every client. Every deadline. One board.
Kanban-style practice manager tracks every client job from creation to filing. Assign to team members, set priorities, track progress. See at a glance what’s overdue, what’s in review, and what’s ready to file. Xero charges extra for Practice Manager. Ours is included.
Penny Available 24/7
Your clients get answers at 11pm on a Sunday. Without calling you.
Penny handles client queries via Telegram, SMS, and Web Chat around the clock. Tax position questions, deadline queries, receipt categorisation — Penny handles it. Your phone stays quiet. Your clients stay happy. They stay with you.
Client Health Scores
Know which clients need attention before they call you.
Every client gets a real-time health score based on their bookkeeping completeness, outstanding transactions, upcoming deadlines, and bank connection status. Red means action needed. Green means all clear. You see every client at a glance.
Messaging-First Receipts
Clients send receipts on Telegram. Penny does the rest.
Clients snap a receipt and send it via Telegram, SMS, or email. Penny reads it, categorises it, matches it to a transaction, and files it. No receipt app to install. No login required. The lowest friction receipt capture of any platform.
Other platforms charge your practice extra. We don’t.
