Filabl
What it is
Filabl is web-based UK tax and accounting software for small businesses, combining an AI accountant with filing tools for VAT, Corporation Tax, Self Assessment, and Payroll RTI. The AI accountant, powered by Anthropic Claude, is available 24/7 on every plan and uses financial data with UK tax rules. Filabl connects to 40+ UK banks through FCA-authorised Stripe Financial Connections. AI categorisation places transactions into UK tax categories, flags anomalies, and is stated to reach up to 97% accuracy. Receipt scanning accepts photos or email forwards, extracts supplier, amount, VAT, and category, then matches receipts to transactions. Invoicing, bills, quotes, contacts, and fixed assets are included on all plans, including Basic. Basic costs nothing; Starter costs £19 a month and Growth costs £49 a month, with listed prices excluding VAT. Annual options are £190/year and £490/year. Filabl says it is completing HMRC’s software recognition programme.
