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

LESS FUSS. MORE UNDERSTANDING.

From a pile of paperwork
to a clearer picture.

One simple place for the everyday jobs. One clear next step when you need it.

Bring it together

Check the important bits

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.

STRAIGHT ANSWERS

A few things
you might be wondering.

Something else on your mind?

Talk to us
Who is early access for?

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.
