The SterlingPeak Briefing

Thursday, 07:00 UK

The Briefing

One email, Thursday mornings. The accounting, payroll and tax software news that affects a UK business this week, cut down to what you can act on and nothing else.

Free to read, no sponsored issues, and it stays that way. If a link in an issue earns us a commission it is labelled in the issue itself, the same rule we follow on the site.

Inside every issue

Three fixed sections, so you always know where to look

01

What changed this week

HMRC updates, Making Tax Digital deadlines, VAT thresholds and payroll rule changes, written in plain English with the date the guidance was checked.

02

What the software actually shipped

Real release notes from Sage, Xero, QuickBooks and the rest, filtered down to the handful of changes that affect how you close a month or file a return.

03

What it costs now

Price moves, plan restructures and renewal traps, with the figure we verified and the day we verified it. No stale numbers carried over from last year.

Who reads it

Written for the person who has to file the return

Sole traders and limited company directors who keep their own books. Bookkeepers and accountants running several client ledgers. Office managers who inherited the payroll and would rather not learn it the hard way.

If you have ever lost an afternoon working out whether a software change affects your VAT return, the Briefing is aimed at you.
