QuickFile

QuickFile is a UK-based cloud accounting software with a robust free plan for small businesses and freelancers. The free tier supports up to 1,000 bank transactions per year, includes invoicing, expense management, and automatic bank feeds. It excels at UK tax features, offering direct VAT submission to HMRC and self-assessment tax reports. Paid plans add more transactions, advanced reporting, and payroll.

Its interface is functional and includes a built-in client portal. For UK solopreneurs with moderate transaction volume, QuickFile's free offering provides substantial value and compliance features that rival paid software, making it a strong budget-friendly contender.
