MTD records in, before the deadline.
MTD Quarter Close. For UK accountancy practices with landlord and sole trader clients in Making Tax Digital for Income Tax.
Four times a year someone in your practice chases every MTD client for rent statements, receipts and bank records. I run that chase for you, in your practice's name, with wording you approve, and send you a weekly list of who is still missing what. Nothing touches your software or HMRC.
What the chase costs you
25 MTD clients, chased up to 3 times a quarter, at roughly 10 minutes to write, send and log each chase, is 12.5 hours a quarter before anyone reads a reply. Four quarters makes about 50 hours of your most expensive admin time. Your real figure depends on your clients, which is what the readiness report shows.
A two week trial on up to 25 clients, run in your practice's name with wording you approve. No subscription, no software to install, no logins to hand over. You keep the tracker and the report whether or not you continue.
From your reply to a running chase
Typical timing. Each step waits for you, so it can be slower, never faster than your approvals.

How the trial works
Order and data agreement
A one page order and a written data processing agreement are signed before any client details move.
You choose the clients and approve the wording
You pick up to 25 MTD clients and send a simple list of names, emails and what is missing. You edit and approve every message before the first send.
I run the chase for 14 days
Three emails per client, sent in your practice's name. Replies and uploads are logged. Any tax question from a client comes to you unanswered.
You get the readiness report
Who is complete, who is partial and what is missing, compared with your own last quarter. Then you decide whether to continue.

Your clients' data

What I will not claim
- No promised savings. I measure your starting point first and report what changed.

- No lock-in. No subscription. The trial ends after 14 days unless you choose to continue.
