Top 6 Features Contractors Should Look for in an Online Accounting Software product

We may be a biased group of contractor accountants, but we think Joy Pilot ticks all the boxes better than everyone else. Its the best accounting software for landlords, contractors, and freelancers.

Bank Feeds

One of the most important features for all small businesses is bank feeds. This means your transactions are automatically downloaded from your business bank account saving you hours of manual data entry. This also reduces the risk of human error, so you can be confident your banking transactions and your accounting transactions are accurate. And it means you no longer have to carefully collect and store the bank statements your bank sends you.

Our accounting software comes with bank feeds as standard, so you can be up and running quickly and easily with all vast number of banks right across the UK and Europe.

Receipt Scanning

Another time-saving feature that is essential for limited company contractors is receipt scanning. This allows you to take a photo of your receipts and have them automatically added to your expenses in Joy Pilot. No more fiddling around with paper receipts or keeping track of them in a shoebox! With receipt scanning, all you need to do is snap a photo of your receipt and upload it to the app. The date, amount and VAT will be extracted automatically so you can categorise it and add it to your expenses with just a few taps. This is an incredibly useful accounting software feature if you are claiming expenses against your business, as it makes it quick and easy to keep track of everything in one easy place.

Easy Invoicing

Invoicing is an essential part of running a business, and it’s important to have an invoicing system that is easy to use and understand. Joy Pilot includes a simple yet powerful invoicing system that allows you to create and send professional invoices in minutes. You can also easily track who has paid and who hasn’t, so you can chase up any outstanding payments quickly and easily. The invoicing system is fully integrated with the rest of the accounting software, so you can see at a glance how much money is coming in and going out of your business. This is vital for cashflow management and ensures you always have a clear picture of your financial situation.

Tax Dashboard

As a limited company contractor, it is important to stay on top of your tax affairs. This can be a complex and time-consuming task, but our accounting software makes it easy with our Tax Dashboard. The Tax Dashboard gives you an overview of your tax situation at any given time, so you can see how much corporation tax, VAT, and personal tax you need to pay. This information is updated in real-time as your financial situation changes, so you can be confident you are always up-to-date with your tax affairs.

Multi Currency Support

If you are a limited company contractor who works with clients overseas, it is important to have an online accounting solution that supports multiple currencies. Joy Pilot allows you to create invoices and track expenses in any currency, so you can easily manage your finances if you are working in multiple countries. This is a valuable feature for contractors who often travel for work, as it makes it easy to keep track of your finances no matter where you are in the world.
