Why it matters
The VAT return shouldn't need a second app.
With a scheduler plus QuickBooks, every invoice and payment has to sync across, and someone fixes it when it doesn't. In Spick HQ the clean, the invoice, the payment and the VAT are the same record.
- Finished cleans turn into numbered invoices with VAT worked out
- Upload a bank statement and match each payment to its invoice
- Profit and loss, aged debtors and VAT return figures from one ledger
- Your accountant gets their own free login
