A note from the founder

Built by someone who's been in your shoes

I'm Byron. I've spent the last 30 years running small businesses of my own, and I trained and worked as a bookkeeper along the way. When Making Tax Digital started bearing down on sole traders and small business owners, I watched a lot of capable people panic — not because they couldn't do the work, but because nobody had explained it to them in plain English.

So I built the kind of product I wished I'd had myself but couldn't find: a practical, no-jargon way to get your records organised and walk into the deadlines feeling prepared. It won't file your taxes, and it isn't a substitute for an accountant or HMRC-recognised software — but it will help you get ready with a lot less stress.

— Byron, Founder, NorthStar Logic
