Before choosing
Questions about the work tools
Do these tools file a tax return?
No. They organise the figures you enter and produce working summaries. They do not connect to HMRC or submit a return.
Do I need an accountant as well?
That depends on your circumstances. The tools do not provide tax advice, decide whether an expense is allowable or replace professional advice.
Do the apps need an internet connection?
No. After downloading and unzipping the purchase, each app opens in a modern browser and works offline.
Where is my business information stored?
The app stores its working data in the browser on your device. It does not send that data to Methodwise or require a Methodwise account.
Should I choose Invoice Tracker Base or Pro?
Choose Base for invoices, payment status and late-payment calculations. Choose Pro when you also need quotes, client statements and the larger set of invoice designs.
Start with the record that needs attention
Choose the tool around the work you are already doing, then keep its records on your own computer without a recurring subscription.
