Excellent idea making banking and taxes easier for small businesses

5
Finally a banking platform that thinks of the small business owner, aligning banking with an easier means of reporting taxes. The app allows me to separate my banking transactions between allowable expenses and non allowable expenses meaning at the tax year end I already have a base to help me submit taxes, this saves me time and therefore improves efficiency.

Everyone should use Coconut

Coconut has revolutionised my banking and the way I do my bookkeeping for my business. It makes my life easier and has streamlined so many complex processes that used to take up valuable time in my day. I cannot recommend it enough! Reviewed on: 30th November 2018

A great way to keep on top of your taxes if you are self-employed

4
One of the biggest causes of small businesses closing is cashflow problems. This is often due to not being able to meet the tax bill at the end of the year. With Coconut you are able to get a good sense of your tax estimate but also log your taxable expenses when bought using your Coconut card and upload the receipts straight away so you don't have to go around hunting for receipts at the end of the tax year. As a self-employed person I feel that it is saving me on accountancy expenses although as a business grows and the finances become more complex it can be used in tandem with an accountant.

Great banking solution for freelancers

4
This is a great banking solution for freelancers, who want to keep their personal and business accounts separate. Having looked at a lot of high street banks, most business accounts came with a fee attached, not only for the account itself but also to the different transactions you might want to make (e.g. BACS or DD payments). As someone just starting out as a full time freelancer, I didn't want to make that type of commitment. The account is very easy to set up and the card arrived in good time. Every time I've had a query I've received quick, helpful and polite responses from the team. The only niggle is that on a couple of occasions I've had to delete and reinstall the app, as the app failed to open. However, reinstalling has always sorted the issue. Overall I'm very satisfied with my experience of Coconut to date. Reviewed on: 27th November 2018
