How quickly are my expenses processed?
Once you WhatsApp your receipt, our team typically processes and categorizes it within 24-48 hours. You'll see it reflected in your tax overview shortly after.
Is it safe to send documents via WhatsApp?
Yes, WhatsApp uses end-to-end encryption. Once received, your data is moved to our secure, HMRC-compliant internal systems for long-term storage.
What happens if a receipt is blurry or missing info?
If we can't read a receipt, we'll message you back on WhatsApp immediately to ask for a clearer snap. You won't miss out on any legitimate deductions.
Do I still need to keep the paper receipts?
HMRC accepts digital copies of most records. By snapping them via WhatsApp, we create a secure digital trail that meets compliance standards.
How often do you submit my CIS records?
We keep your records up-to-date in real-time. Official HMRC submissions are handled at the standard quarterly or annual deadlines depending on your plan.
