Making Tax Digital for Income Tax is coming. Are you ready?
From April 2026, self-employed individuals with income over £50,000 will be legally required to keep digital records and submit quarterly updates to HMRC. If you’re not yet set up, or not sure where to start, I can help.
I set up Xero accounting software tailored to your business, so you’re compliant, in control and confident well ahead of the deadline.
How I Can Help
I take the complexity out of getting set up. Working with you one-to-one, I will:
- Assess your current record-keeping and identify what needs to change
- Set up and configure Xero to suit your business
- Help you connect Xero to your bank accounts for streamlined record-keeping
- Set up the chart of accounts and categories relevant to your situation
- Walk you through how to use Xero day-to-day so you feel confident
- Ensure your setup is fully MTD for Income Tax compliant
- Provide ongoing support if you need it after setup
The goal is that you finish the process feeling genuinely in control, not just ticking a compliance
Why Xero?
Xero is one of HMRC’s approved MTD-compatible software solutions and is widely used by self-employed individuals and small businesses across the UK. It’s cloud-based, easy to use once set up correctly, and gives you a clear, real-time picture of your income and expenses.
Getting your Xero setup right from the start avoids the common pitfalls of miscategorised transactions, missed submissions and unnecessary stress at quarter-end.
Why Work With Me?
I’m an experienced finance professional who understands both the technical compliance requirements and the practical reality of running your own business.
I’ll set up your Xero system properly, explain everything clearly and make sure you leave the process feeling confident, not confused.
