The right platform is the one that supports your actual record-keeping process, reporting needs and working relationship.

Compare the essentials

  • HMRC compatibility for the obligations that apply to you
  • Bank feeds, invoicing and receipt capture
  • Payroll and VAT requirements
  • Access for the owner, bookkeeper and accountant
  • Migration effort, support and total cost

Do not buy on brand alone

EBA supports several common platforms, but support is not the same as a vendor certification. Any verified certifications will be stated separately once evidence is confirmed.

Plan before migrating

  • Choose a clean cut-off date.
  • Reconcile opening balances.
  • Retain access to historic records.
  • Test the new monthly process before cancelling the old service.
