Pros	Price Easy to use Fast filing and prompt support Submitting VAT returns digitally Excel compatibility	Data screens are intuitively laid out Great tool for smaller accountants Simple to navigate Eco friendly due to being paperless Email notifications are super helpfu
Cons	Being logged out too soon and very often VAT return page doesn’t include the period dates Process navigation could be improved Price goes up every year Takes as much time as posting it for free to HMRC	Feels quite ‘old-school’ The design of the portal is a little dated Occasionally crash for no reason Slow to generate a set of accounts
