Barrister using Solar Accounts

I need an expenses tracking programme, which will also do my VAT return for me.
I am a self-employed barrister. My chambers does all the invoicing & receipting of income for me & I receive a monthly printout of fees received.
However, I have to keep track of my travelling & hotel expenses, phone bills, car maintenance & other professional expenditure.
I need a programme which will calculate my VAT deductions, having entered the income from my printout, & which will also present annual income & expenditure for my accountant to prepare my income tax return
(2) Will Solar Accounts do this? I have previously used a very old version of Quicken.
(3) Do you still offer a free 60 day trial in advance of payment ?
Yours,
B.N. O'Brien

Hello B.N. O'Brien,

Yes, Solar Accounts can certainly keep track of your income and expenses and prepare a VAT return. The Profit and Loss report can be used to show to your accountant.

Note that Solar Accounts produces a 'standard' VAT100 return - if you are using a special VAT scheme for Barristers it may not produce the report you need.

And yes, you can get your free 60-day trial here:
