Built for UK accountancy practices. Not generic professional services.
HMRC, MTD, AML, ACCA, ICAEW — the regulator vocabulary your clients use, baked into the platform. PracticeBase for Accountants is the first PracticeBase lane, tuned for independent UK practices with 1–5 staff.
Plain UK English. Real regulator language.
Generic “professional services” copy is forbidden on this page. We use the words HMRC, MTD, AML, ACCA and ICAEW — because that’s what your clients ask about.
The stack a UK accountant actually runs today.
Bookkeeping, practice management, AML/KYC, payroll, phones, portal — six tools, six logins, six renewal dates. PracticeBase replaces the lot.
Six contracts, six logins, six renewal dates.

The seven layers your practice runs on.
One foundation. UK-specific from L1 (practice management) through L7 (named UK support specialist).
Sarah, not a chat widget.
Every PracticeBase for Accountants client gets a named UK specialist. The same human every week — typically ex-practice owner, ACCA or AAT background.
UK humans where it matters.
Automation runs quietly underneath. The relationship stays human, with a named UK support specialist available where your practice needs it — not a chat widget, not an offshore queue, not a different agent every time.

From sign-off to go-live in 90 days.

Accountancy lane — common questions.
Is PracticeBase MTD-ready?
Yes. The Accounting & Bookkeeping layer in the PracticeBase stack is MTD-ready and used inside a live UK accountancy practice. VAT and ITSA submissions are part of the standard workflow.
Does PracticeBase replace my AML/KYC tool?
Yes. AML and KYC compliance is the L3 layer in the PracticeBase stack — onboarding, ID verification and audit trail — included on every tier. UK accountancy clients typically retire a separate £45/month AML tool.
What size accountancy practice is this built for?
UK accountancy and bookkeeping practices with 1–5 staff and 75–300 active clients. The vertical lane is live with a pilot complete in the North West.
