Accounting practice management software in the UK
Updated
The UK end of this market has one vendor publishing a plain per-seat price in pounds and several more that route a British practice to a demo form, which makes the published figure both the easiest number to find and the least representative one.
Who publishes a price in pounds
Of the vendors read for this site, Senta is the one printing a per-seat figure in pounds on its own pricing page: 23.20 per user a month on annual billing, or 32 month to month, with VAT excluded from both and a 30 day trial stated beside them.
The rest of the list prints dollars, prints Australian dollars, or prints nothing our reader could retrieve. That is not the same as saying a UK practice cannot buy them. It means the price a UK practice will pay is not on the page, so it cannot be compared here without being invented.

The three vendors a UK search turns up that we could not price
BrightManager, which absorbed AccountancyManager, served our reader a verification interstitial rather than a page. TaxDome answered 403. Pixie returned an empty body. All three are real products a UK practice will be shown, and none of them is priced on this site, because a figure we could not read is not a figure we will publish.
The honest reading of a blocked page is that the vendor did not publish to us on that day, not that it is expensive and not that it is hiding something.

Why the per-seat figure misleads a small UK firm
A per-seat price is a multiplier, and the thing it multiplies is the part of the practice that changes most. A four person firm that takes on two seasonal staff has added half again to a per-seat bill before anyone has logged in.
Two vendors on this list make that worse with a floor. FYI will not sell fewer than five seats, and Karbon offers its monthly option only to teams of four or more, so a two person practice is priced as though it were larger or pushed onto annual commitment.

What to take to a demo call
- Ask which modules the published figure excludes. On Canopy the tax and close automation are separately priced add-ons, so the plan figure is a floor rather than a total.
- Ask whether the monthly option is open to a practice your size, because on Karbon it is not below four people.
- Ask what the seat count does when a seasonal person joins for three months, and whether seats can come back down.
- Ask whether VAT or GST is inside the number you have been quoted, because the published pages do not agree with each other on that.
