WHO CUEBOOKS IS FOR TODAY
Two kinds of small business.
Both must be in the UK and not VAT registered.
Sole traders
Not VAT registered, with business income under £50,000
Your bank, sales, costs and money you take out, in one place
At the end of the tax year, the figures for the self-employment pages of your own Self Assessment return
You file that return yourself. Cuebooks does not send anything to HMRC
One-person limited companies
Not VAT registered, with one director
Your bank, sales, costs, director’s pay and dividends, in one place
Draft year-end accounts and Corporation Tax figures
Nothing is filed with HMRC or Companies House from Cuebooks yet
Not for you yet
A business that is VAT registered
A sole trader with business income of £50,000 or more
A company with staff other than the director
Partnerships and other kinds of business

THAT FOLDER YOU’VE BEEN PUTTING OFF
A handful of receipts. One place to check them.
Photograph a receipt or choose a folder of files. Where automatic reading is enabled, Cuebooks helps read the details. You work through everything in one review list.
Add multiple invoices and receipts together
Keep the original alongside your records
Confirm prepared purchases together
PDF, JPG or PNG files, 15 MiB each. One receipt or invoice per file. Automatic reading depends on availability and document quality. Accepted files also support manual entry.
MADE FOR YOUR WORKING DAY
Keep the business moving.
Invoices that feel like you
Create customer invoices, keep track of what is owed and record payments without losing the thread.
Make sense of the money
Import a supported bank statement, connect payments to your records and work through anything left to check.
A helping hand, not a black box
See where the numbers come from. Suggestions help with the work; important decisions always stay with you.
UK sole traders who are not VAT registered and whose business income is under £50,000, and one-person UK limited companies that are not VAT registered. A sole trader gets the figures for the self-employment pages of their own Self Assessment return and files it themselves. This early access is not a live filing service.
Do I need to understand accounting?
No accounting qualification required. Start with familiar jobs: adding receipts, creating invoices and checking your bank activity. Cuebooks explains the next step in everyday language. If your situation needs an accountant, we will say so.
Can I add a folder of invoices or receipts?
Yes. Choose a folder or select PDF, JPG or PNG files together, with a maximum of 15 MiB per file. Keep each invoice or receipt in its own file. You see progress for each upload. Where automatic reading is enabled, review the extracted details; otherwise enter them yourself. You confirm the purchase before it is added to your accounts.
Will it connect to my bank or file my tax return?
Not in this pre-release version. You can import supported bank statement files and prepare draft accounting information. Live bank feeds, HMRC submissions and Companies House filing are not available yet. Do not use a draft as proof that anything has been filed.
Does AI make the decisions?
No. Where available, AI can suggest a category for a purchase. Suggestions can be wrong: you review and confirm the result. You can choose a category yourself, and a suggestion does not post an accounting entry on its own.
Is Cuebooks ready to replace my current accounts system?
Not yet. Early access is for trying the product and helping us improve it. Start with sample data, keep your existing records and filing arrangements, and check any real information independently. We are not currently offering a paid subscription through this site.
