Origin Story

By Ed Molyneux

The Problem

UK freelancers dread tax returns and most accounting tools are designed for accountants, not self-employed people.

Building It

Founded 2007 in Edinburgh, acquired by NatWest Group in 2018. Over 150K users, most in the UK.

What It Means

Proved that country-specific accounting with native tax compliance can win against global generic tools.

The Dream

Take the pain out of accounting and tax for every UK freelancer and small business.
