Clear answers before you start.
Finpliq should be direct, honest and easy to understand. These answers explain what it does, how it supports compliance, and where an accountant still adds value.
Getting started
What is Finpliq?+
Finpliq is a UK finance and compliance platform that helps business owners understand cash, sales, profit, supplier bills, customer invoices and tax obligations in plain English. The accounting records are still proper double-entry records behind the scenes.
Who is it built for?+
It is built for UK sole traders, limited companies, contractors, landlords, small businesses and accountants who want a clearer way to manage bookkeeping and compliance without accounting jargon.
Can I try it before adding real data?+
Yes. Use Explore Finpliq to open a realistic demo company and see the dashboard, invoices, supplier bills, reports and compliance workflow before you set up your own account.
Compliance and filing
Can Finpliq file directly to HMRC?+
Finpliq helps you manage VAT, payroll, CIS and Self Assessment workflows in one place. You review the numbers and the supporting transactions before anything is sent.
Does it support Corporation Tax and Companies House?+
Yes. Finpliq helps limited companies stay on top of Corporation Tax and Companies House requirements alongside VAT, payroll, CIS and Self Assessment, so you can see what needs attention next.
Does Finpliq replace my accountant?+
No. Finpliq reduces the messy preparation work and gives your accountant cleaner records, better evidence and clearer reports. Your accountant can still review, advise and file where professional judgement is needed.
Daily workflow
How does Finpliq handle supplier bills?+
You can add or upload supplier invoices, track whether they are unpaid, part-paid or paid, drill into supplier balances, and see bills due. The aim is to show 'Bills to pay' clearly while keeping the creditor accounting correct behind the scenes.
Can I import from Xero, QuickBooks, Sage or FreeAgent?+
Finpliq includes easy migration tools designed to bring across customers, suppliers, invoices, bills, payments and bank transactions from the systems you already use. You can preview everything before it is imported.
Can customers send me purchase orders?+
Yes. Finpliq supports customer PO references on invoices and can support PO upload/extraction as a workflow to create draft invoices. This is not a full procurement system; it is focused on helping you get paid correctly.
Security and records
Is my financial data secure?+
Financial data should be encrypted in transit and at rest, protected by account authentication, and never sold. Production deployments should also have audit logs, backups and access controls enabled.
Can I see the transactions behind a number?+
Yes. Finpliq's moat depends on drilldowns: dashboard totals, supplier balances, customer balances and reports should lead back to the underlying bills, invoices, payments or transactions.
Are tax rates and thresholds kept up to date?+
Finpliq is designed to use legal parameters rather than hardcoded values. Those parameters should be reviewed and updated when HMRC or Companies House rules change.
