Pricing

What it costs, what you get.

Roadmap

The real cost of filing

Three ways to file. Pick what suits you.

Honest framing of what each route costs in money and time. No right answer for everyone.

Traditional

Hire an accountant

£350–£500/year typical
  • Human expertise for complex cases
  • Someone else holds the pen
  • Expensive for simple tax positions
  • Weeks of turnaround time
  • You still pull the records together yourself

DIY

File yourself with HMRC

£0(plus your time)
  • Free if your time is free
  • Full control over every field
  • 8+ hours per year for most freelancers
  • Easy to miss deductions you’re entitled to
  • From April 2026 MTD ITSA filers can’t use the portal at all

Software

Varro Pro

£79/year — everything included
  • AI categorises every transaction
  • Surfaces deductions you’d otherwise miss
  • Quarterly MTD + year-end Self Assessment, both filed
  • What-If planner with band-aware tax math
  • Around 20 minutes per quarter
  • Cancel any time, no lock-in
  • UK Self Assessment only — not for limited companies (yet)
  • For genuinely complex situations you’ll still want a human accountant
