Nomi

Nomi is a cloud-based accounting and practice platform for accounting and bookkeeping firms, with bookkeeping and payroll access for their clients. Its modules cover bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, final accounts, tax, practice management, company secretarial work, and CRM. Bookkeeping tools include bank feeds, automated reconciliation, invoicing, online payments, receipt management, and VAT submissions. The Final Accounts module supports direct filings to HMRC and Companies House, with one-click trial balance imports from Xero, Zoho Books, FreeAgent, and QuickBooks. The Apple and Android mobile app lets users invoice clients, track payments, and capture receipts; receipts can also be sent through WhatsApp for AI extraction and organisation. Nomi lists integrations including Companies House, FreeAgent, QuickBooks, Xero, Stripe, and Zapier. The company says its servers are in London and product data is stored exclusively on UK servers. A free 30-day trial provides access to premium services without a credit card. Listed prices include £0.30 per month for Company Secretarial, while other plans have different prices and billing terms.

Nomi brings practice and client accounting functions together across multiple modules, with mobile access and listed integrations. Check each module's billing basis and scope to match the firm's workflow.

It suits accounting and bookkeeping practices that need cloud tools for practice operations and client bookkeeping or payroll. Firms looking for mobile receipt capture, tax submissions, or integrations with listed accounting services may find relevant modules.

Nomi is a modular accounting and practice suite for accounting and bookkeeping firms that want to serve clients as well as manage internal workflows. It is strongest for practices that can match separate modules to specific jobs; firms seeking one predictable, all-in subscription should compare alternatives.

Overview

The platform covers bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, final accounts, tax, practice management, company secretarial work and CRM. Firms can give clients access to bookkeeping and payroll, while the practice side includes a client portal, workflow automation, time tracking, billing and invoicing, document management and deadline tracking. That range can bring varied work into one platform, but each module’s billing unit matters when estimating the total.

Bookkeeping combines bank feeds and automated reconciliation with invoicing, online payments, receipt management and VAT submissions. Final Accounts supports direct filing to HMRC and Companies House, and one-click trial balance imports from Xero, Zoho Books, FreeAgent and QuickBooks. These capabilities make Nomi relevant to practices handling both routine client bookkeeping and year-end submissions.

Key features

Receipt capture through WhatsApp uses AI to extract and organise receipt details. The Apple and Android app supports invoicing clients, tracking payments and capturing receipts, extending those routine tasks beyond the desktop. Integrations include Adsum, Companies House, FreeAgent, GoCardless, Nest, Pension Sync, QuickBooks, SignEasy, Stripe, UNIPaaS, Xero and Zapier.

Nomi says its servers are in London, with backups in multiple locations and product data stored exclusively on UK servers. Its data processing addendum says it does not knowingly collect or process sensitive personal data. Dedicated customer support is offered Monday to Friday, along with data migration and setup assistance.

Pricing

Nomi offers a free 30-day trial with access to all premium services and no credit card required, but no free plan. Prices below are billed +VAT where stated. The low module prices are useful when a firm needs only a narrow set of functions; they should not be treated as the cost of the whole suite.

• Self Assessments: £4 a month for MTD readiness, HMRC submissions, client and practice workflow tools, and built-in document storage. It suits firms focused on personal tax workflows.
• Bookkeeping & VAT: £4 a month for expense and receipt management, VAT submissions, bank reconciliation and feeds, invoicing, and online payments. This is the core option for bookkeeping workflows.
• Payroll, Pension & CIS: £2 a month for up to 10 employees, then 40p for each employee over 10. The employee cap makes the price most relevant to smaller payrolls.
• Final Accounts: £4 a month for accounts production, automated adjustments and journals, and corporation tax and statutory accounts submissions, including direct HMRC and Companies House filing.
• Practice Management: £10 per client/month for automated KYC and onboarding, task and deadline management, and a client portal. The per-client basis means costs rise with the client base.
• Company Secretarial: £0.30 per Business/month for confirmation statements, company incorporations and a Companies House connection.

Practice-specific billing uses different units. Payroll, Pension & CIS (practice) costs £2 per client/month for up to 10 employees, with 40p for each employee over 10, and includes HMRC/RTI compliance. Final Accounts (practice) costs £4 per submission for CT600 and statutory accounts submissions, FRS105/FRS102 templates and one-click trial balance import. Self Assessments (practice) is £4 per submission for MTDITSA readiness, HMRC submission, e-signatures, data collection and built-in document storage. Bookkeeping & VAT (practice) costs £4 per client/month and includes unlimited bank feeds, invoicing and online payments, VAT submissions and UK server storage.

Business-owner options are billed monthly: Payroll (business owners) is £10 a month for payroll, pension auto-enrolment, CIS management and HMRC/RTI compliance; Bookkeeping (business owners) is £15 a month for bookkeeping, VAT submissions, bank feeds, invoicing and online payments. Practices should compare these client-focused options with the practice modules, especially where pricing is per submission rather than per month.

Platforms

Nomi is available on Android, iOS and the web. Its mobile app supports invoicing clients, payment tracking and receipt capture, while the broader suite covers practice and client workflows.

Who it's for

Nomi fits accounting and bookkeeping practices that want client-facing bookkeeping or payroll alongside practice operations, and can select modules according to their work. Its per-client, per-submission and employee-based charges make careful workload-based costing important. It is less suited to firms that need a single fixed price regardless of module use or client count.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, final accounts and practice tools span both client work and firm operations, reducing the need to source each category separately.
• Pro: Mobile receipt capture and WhatsApp AI extraction support routine record collection away from a desktop.
• Pro: Direct HMRC and Companies House filing and imports from four named accounting platforms support compliance and year-end work.
• Con: Different billing units—monthly, per client, per business, per submission and per employee—make total cost dependent on the firm’s mix and volume.
• Con: Payroll pricing rises above 10 employees, so the entry charge does not cover larger payrolls at the same rate.
• Con: There is no free plan; the 30-day premium trial is the no-cost way to evaluate the modules.

Alternatives

Consider Canopy if a free plan and CRM, client management, document handling, eSign, portal, messaging and task workflows better match the practice’s priorities. CCH Axcess Practice is another paid practice-management option, with custom pricing.

FYI may suit teams looking for practice management with email filing, templates and signatures; its Intermediate plan is A$30 a month per user, excluding GST, with a five-user minimum. Karbon is worth comparing for teams that want workflow statuses and work management, with Team at $59 a month per user when paid annually, or $79/month per user paid monthly; monthly subscriptions require teams of four or more.

KashFlow is a paid accounting alternative with a Starter plan at £13.50 a month and a free trial. TaxDome is another paid option, with Essentials at $800 a year per seat on a one-year commitment. MYOB Business offers mobile apps for Android and iOS, with Lite at A$315 a year after its offer period and Pro at A$70 a month after its offer period. Saasu offers a free trial; its Small plan is $20 a month billed yearly, with three bank feeds, 1,000 annual transactions, one employee and 2 GB of attachments.

Verdict

Nomi is a strong fit for accounting and bookkeeping practices that need multiple client-service and practice modules, especially where direct filing, client access and mobile receipt workflows matter. Its modular breadth is the main reason to choose it; the variable billing units and payroll threshold are the main reasons to look elsewhere or calculate expected costs carefully first.
