MTD software for accountants with clients who love Excel

Not every client will move to cloud software, and that’s fine. Recommend the bookkeeping models to your spreadsheet clients with your own partner code. They save 5%, and you get the same clean, consistent quarterly figures back every time.

MTD software for accountants: one Self Assessment deadline becomes four quarterly updates

Your spreadsheet clients just became a quarterly problem

Making Tax Digital for Income Tax means sole traders and landlords over £50,000 are already sending quarterly updates, with £30,000 joining from April 2027 and £20,000 from April 2028. HMRC expects around 1,077,000 more people to join in April 2027 alone.

For a practice, that’s four deadlines a year per client instead of one. And the clients who refuse cloud software are usually the ones whose spreadsheets take longest to sort out.

One Self Assessment deadline becoming four MTD quarterly deadlines: 7 Aug, 7 Nov, 7 Feb, 7 May
Three messy spreadsheets vs three identical tidy quarterly summaries

One standard Excel format for every spreadsheet client

The bookkeeping models are MTD ready bookkeeping in Excel. Every client using it records income and expenses in the same structure, so you get the same layout, the same categories and the same quarterly summary from every one of them.

Quarterly figures ready for bridging software. The bookkeeping models work with HMRC compatible bridging software, including My Tax Digital, which is free.

A proper audit trail. ACE Professional adds bank reconciliation for up to three accounts, so you’re not working from unchecked numbers.

VAT covered too. ACE Complete prepares VAT returns for VAT registered clients, on any VAT scheme.

Referral partner steps: partner code, client checkout with 5% off, partner benefits

Who supports your clients?

Every bookkeeping model comes with video demonstrations, and I provide email support for brief questions when getting started. You stay in charge of the accountancy side, and if a client needs more hands on help with the spreadsheet, Support Time can be booked with me by the client, or by you on their behalf.

A FREE demo for your clients

Want your clients to see the bookkeeping models in action before they buy? I’m happy to run a FREE demo of the bookkeeping models for your clients, so they can see how simple quarterly bookkeeping in Excel can be.

Built by someone who understands both sides

I’ve worked in accountancy since I was 17, I’m AAT qualified, part CIMA qualified and a Microsoft Excel MVP. I built the bookkeeping models to produce the kind of records I’d want to receive.

I did the mini Excel course with Traci - 20 mins a day for 5 days. Traci can squeeze so much into 20 mins, it helps that she talks fast! I was familiar with most of the areas that we covered but there were still lots of little tips that I picked up. Traci has a genuine excitement about all things Excel and her enthusiasm is infectious. I'd recommend her courses to anyone looking to upskill.

Traci is amazing!!
She helped me to add formulas to a huge spreadsheet I’ve designed to use in my NHS job.
In 30 minutes the spreadsheet was transformed into a useable, time saving and accurate piece of work.
I’m very grateful for her help.
Traci is approachable, kind and knows her stuff.
I recommend her to anyone struggling with anything in Excel. She is patient - she needed to be with me, taking her time to explain and ensure I understood.
Thanks again Traci 🥰

I have recently been on Traci's Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced Excel Workshops. I didn't know spreadsheets could be so much fun and you could do so much with them, once you have got your head around one. Tracie makes working with a spreadsheet a joy instead of a task. Her cheerful approach and easy-going manner are both professional and a breath of fresh air.

Traci at Excel Ace really knows her stuff, I've been using an amazing spreadsheet daily that she designed many many years ago to keep track of the workshops we are delivering and all the finances and forecasting. I couldn't recommend her services highly enough, she is just fantastic and so helpful also.

Traci has been training a number of our staff via zoom over the past few weeks, and everyone has greatly benefited from her encyclopaedic knowledge of all things excel. Very approachable and bubbly, she makes what could be a very dry subject, easy and fun.
