The problem
Accounting software was not built for people like you.
Most tools assume you are running a full business. You get invoicing, payroll, VAT, complex reports and hundreds of categories. Sometimes all you need is a calm way to understand what was business, what was personal, and what tax might be coming.

Founder story
Built out of frustration.
Simple Self-Employed was created after years of using accounting software that solved the wrong problem.
The challenge was not bookkeeping, invoicing or VAT. It was understanding a personal tax position across salary, dividends and self-employed income.
When nothing existed that solved that problem simply, we built it.
