At Chorus Accounting, we understand that change in the financial world can be daunting; however, as we are focused on your future and ours, we want you to see it as an opportunity.
Making Tax Digital (MTD), HMRC’s flagship initiative to modernise the UK tax system and move away from piles of paperwork. This is more than a compliance requirement. For businesses ready to embrace it, MTD represents a genuine leap forward in efficiency, accuracy, and business insight.
MTD aims to replace outdated paper-based and manual systems with real-time digital record-keeping and automated submissions quarterly for some. While that may sound like a headache at first glance, the shift to digital accounting can unlock real benefits for businesses of all sizes, especially if you partner with a proactive accountant.
Streamlining Your Financial Processes
Gone are the days of rifling through shoeboxes of receipts or chasing spreadsheets across multiple folders. With MTD-compliant software like Xero, QuickBooks, or Sage—platforms we regularly support at Chorus—you can keep your records in one place, automate recurring tasks, and even link directly with your bank feeds.
This means that it can
- Save you time with smarter bookkeeping
- Give you year-round visibility of your finances and a more managed accountancy approach.
- Reduce errors of the last-minute rush
We’ve helped countless clients in Christchurch and across the South Coast with their monthly bookkeeping — many of whom now spend hours less on admin, freeing up more time to focus on their own business growth.

Real-Time Insight for Better Decisions
One of the most underappreciated advantages of digital accounting is the immediacy of your financial data. Which means that with an MTD-compatible system, we can work with you in real time, spotting opportunities and helping, viewing your profit and loss, cash flow, and liabilities. Making more informed decisions around your business, faster.
At Chorus Accounting, we’re not just here to crunch numbers—we help you make sense of them. That’s why we offer bespoke dashboards and ongoing advisory support. By reviewing up-to-date financial reports with our clients regularly, we can help you make longer-term decisions with a laser-like focus.
For example, this would be a wise time to invest in new equipment, hire more staff, or ask questions like…

Quarterly Updates give you financial clarity.
MTD requires quarterly submissions of your income and expenses—many business owners see this as an inconvenience, but it’s a fantastic opportunity. Instead of waiting until year-end to know your tax position, you get a clear picture of your financial health every few months.
With Chorus Accounting guiding the process, these checkpoints will help guide and allow you to keep on course throughout the year.
We can give a more advisory service, like adjusting pricing strategies or spotting anomalies early.
