“Asked a question about multi-currency invoicing at 5pm and had a clear answer within the hour. Support actually understands UK accounting, which is rare.

The basics
What is UK accounting software?
Accounting software UK businesses use (also called cloud accounting software or online bookkeeping software) is a web-based tool to send invoices, track expenses, reconcile bank transactions and keep a live set of books — from a browser, without a desktop install.
Unlike spreadsheets or old desktop packages, cloud accounting software updates as you work, backs up your data, lets your accountant log in, and can import a UK bank CSV so you are not typing statements at month-end.
SwiftBooks Pro is built for that job: invoicing, bank reconciliation, expenses and reports for small businesses and sole traders. Stock and projects are on Business and above. From £15/month ex VAT after a 30-day trial.
