SpendScout keeps your books and gets you ready for Making Tax Digital. Scout, your AI savings agent, works every month to cut what your business spends.
Most bookkeeping software only records your spending. Scout keeps looking for ways to cut it.
Flags tools and services you're paying for but no longer use, then cancels them when you say so.
Drafts polite, factual emails asking for discounts and better rates. You approve every message before it goes out.
Checks you against legitimate HMRC reliefs and allowances, and shows the rule behind every suggestion.
Nudges you for the receipts you haven't uploaded and matches them to your bank transactions automatically.
Everything you'd expect from modern accounting software, built mobile-first for UK sole traders and landlords.
From April 2027, sole traders and landlords with more than £30,000 of income must keep digital records and send HMRC quarterly updates. Find out where you stand in 10 seconds.
A typical accountant charges a sole trader £600 to £1,500 a year. Bookkeeping apps cost less but only record your spending. SpendScout does both jobs and also works to bring your costs down.
We're opening early access in stages, starting with waitlist members. Sole traders and landlords facing the April 2027 MTD deadline will be first in line.
Yes. SpendScout sends your quarterly updates through HMRC-recognised software, so you stay compliant from day one.
No. Scout drafts every email for you to check. Nothing goes out, and nothing is filed with HMRC, until you approve it. Every message clearly says it's sent on behalf of your business.
Scout points out mainstream, legitimate reliefs and shows the HMRC rule behind each one. It never suggests schemes or aggressive avoidance. For anything complex, you can pass it to an accountant.
Many users won't. If you want one, SpendScout prepares a clean year-end pack for your accountant to review, which usually means a smaller bill.
There'll be a free plan with your MTD dates, deadline reminders and a one-off Scout savings scan. The full plan comes with a guarantee: if Scout doesn't find savings at least equal to your fee, next month is free. Founding members on the waitlist keep their launch price for life.
