WHAT MAKES IT POSSIBLE

The foundations that sit underneath every connected workflow

Data flows across products - trial balances, address changes, tax figures - because Bright’s products are built on the same shared foundation. You do not configure it.

BrightID, one login across everything

A single identity that signs you in across BrightManager, BrightTax, BrightAccountsProduction, BrightPay and every other product, with no separate credentials.

BrightHub, one place to run the practice

Subscriptions, users, permissions and billing for every product in one control centre.

IN PRACTICE

This is what a connected accounting suite looks like

Data moves between products, so bookkeeping effortlessly flows to accounts production, proposals and letters of engagement sync to practice management and payroll integrates with bookkeeping, time and attendance, payments and expense management software without being rekeyed.

Year-end accounts and tax

A year of bookkeeping, complete

Bank feeds reconciled and VAT filed quarterly leave an accurate year-end trial balance ready in BrightBooks.

Trial balance imports into accounts

The trial balance imports directly from BrightBooks into BrightAccountsProduction with nominal-code mapping, no CSV export and no reconciliation.

One address change, updated in both

Change a client’s registered office in BrightBooks or BrightAccountsProduction, and it updates in the other automatically.

E-sign and file

Accounts are generated in PDF, Word and iXBRL, e-signed and filed to Companies House and HMRC in one workflow.

CT600 carries straight through

BrightTax opens with the period, address and accounts figures already available, so corporation tax is filed without re-entering a single detail.

MTD FOR INCOME TAX

MTD for Income Tax

Sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 now send HMRC quarterly updates and a final declaration, instead of one annual Self Assessment return. The threshold drops to £30,000 in April 2027 and £20,000 in April 2028.

The connected solution

BrightBooks handles quarterly submissions, with document capture so clients can photograph receipts on their phone. BrightTax takes care of the final declaration, and BrightManager helps you manage your MTD IT workload every step of the way.

ALL PRODUCTS

Every tool your accounting practice needs

Each product is a specialist. Together, they are a practice operating system.

BrightManager

Practice management: client relationship management, workflow and deadline management, staff task tracking and automated client comms.

BrightTax

Cloud tax: MTD IT final declarations, Self-Assessment (SA100) with supplementary pages, corporation tax, partnership returns, VAT and MTD, prior-year roll-forward with validation.

BrightAccountsProduction

Accounts production: create, check and file compliant year-end accounts for 13 entity types, with one-click iXBRL conversion and trial balance import from BrightBooks, Xero or Excel.

BrightBooks

Cloud bookkeeping: covering invoicing, VAT returns, bank feeds, reconciliation and reporting, sales, purchase and general ledger, and MTD for ITSA quarterly updates.

BrightPropose

Pricing and proposals: dynamic fee scaling, service-based proposal structure, letter-of-engagement templates, integrated with BrightManager.

BrightChecks

ID, AML and company checks in one dashboard: ECCTA identity verification, PEP and sanctions screening, and company credit reports.

BrightWorkpapers

Cloud-based working papers for accounting firms, covering audit, accounts and other engagements, with regulatory-aligned methodology templates, structured engagement files, and a working-paper index to track progress and sign-off.

Inform Direct

Company secretarial: direct import from Companies House, director, secretary and share management, a multi-company dashboard, ECCTA features and presenter codes.

BrightPay

Payroll for bureaus, accountants and businesses: HMRC-compliant fully cloud software, multi-user functionality, pension, payments and bookkeeping integrations, and Oscar AI onboarding.

BEYOND THE ACCOUNTANT SUITE

The same connected logic, for bureaus and businesses too

The compounding advantage is not exclusive to practices. Bureaus can use BrightPay with BrightManager and BrightChecks, while businesses can use BrightPay with BrightCIS and TimeKeeper.

Bureau stack

New clients onboard through AML checks before payroll access is granted, bureau deadlines track alongside client payroll calendars, and CIS contractor status is verified through BrightCIS before any subcontractor payment.

Business stack

Hours logged in TimeKeeper feed directly into payroll, CIS contractor status is verified through BrightCIS before any subcontractor payment, and employees can view payslips and request leave from a self-service mobile app.
