Your books, done.
Automatic income tracking. Simple expense logging. No spreadsheets.
Key benefits
Automatic income recording
Every lesson payment collected through Stripe is recorded automatically. No manual entry, no chasing bank statements. Your income is always up to date.
Expense tracking with categories
Log fuel, insurance, maintenance, phone bills, and more. Expenses are organised into HMRC-compliant categories so your records are always filing-ready.
Mileage logging
Log business miles against the lessons in your diary for a complete audit trail. HMRC's flat mileage rate doesn't cover dual-control cars, so vehicle running costs go in as actual expenses.
Revenue trends and reports
See your earnings by week, month, or year. Spot trends, compare periods, and understand exactly how your business is performing over time.
Profit & loss at a glance
A clear view of income minus expenses. Know your actual profit - not just your turnover - without waiting for an accountant to tell you.
Tax-ready summaries
Monthly, quarterly, and tax year summaries compiled automatically. Your income and expenses total into your Making Tax Digital quarterly figures, with no re-keying required.
Income that tracks itself
Every time a pupil pays for a lesson through Stripe, the income is recorded automatically in your accounts. No manual entry, no reconciling bank statements at the end of the month. Cash and bank transfer payments can be logged manually in seconds. Your revenue reports update in real time, so you always know where you stand.

Expenses and mileage, without the shoebox
Log expenses as they happen - fuel, insurance, car maintenance, phone, training, and more, plus your business mileage against each lesson. Every expense is categorised and dated, so when filing time comes, your records are already complete. No more end-of-year panic.
