Best accounting software for UK small businesses

UK SMEs usually want bank feeds, VAT workflows that match how you operate, and an accountant-friendly export path.

Start with constraints: headcount, payroll complexity, inventory needs, and whether you sell overseas.

Compare 12-month total cost including payroll modules and essential apps, not headline monthly tiers.
