Frequently Asked Questions
Why is AccountsOS cheaper than Xero or FreeAgent on real value?
We built AccountsOS from scratch with AI at the core. Traditional software companies add AI as expensive extras. We baked it in from day one, so we can offer more automation for the same or less money. Plus, we're focused on small limited companies, no bloat.
What's included in the £20/month price?
Everything. Unlimited transactions, unlimited receipt uploads, VAT MTD submission, Corporation Tax calculations, bank reconciliation, AI chat with Finn, receipt scanning, invoice creation, dividend tracking, and more. No tiers, no hidden fees.
Is cheap bookkeeping software secure?
Absolutely. AccountsOS uses bank-level encryption, EU data centres, and read-only bank access. Your financial data is as secure as it would be with any premium provider. Security doesn't have a price tier.
Can I switch from Xero or FreeAgent?
Yes. You can import your existing transactions via CSV/PDF bank statements. For ongoing work, just start using AccountsOS. Your historical data in Xero/FreeAgent remains accessible if needed.
