Financial IQ vs QuickBooks, for UK companies that want the books kept for them every morning.

QuickBooks gives you accounting software. Financial IQ keeps the books for you every morning, puts your own tax beside the company's, and includes the API and MCP with your plan.

Why companies switch
Autopilot keeps the books every morning, categorising and posting for you.
Your company and your own money in one account, so a dividend's tax is shown before you take it.
The API and MCP are included with Business Pro and Autopilot, so your own tools and AI agents can connect.

Questions people ask before switching

Can my accountant still work with me?

Yes. Invite them in, and they see the same books you do.

What comes across from QuickBooks?

Your opening balances, contacts and open invoices and bills. We move them for you, free, so you're working in Financial IQ the next day.

Is QuickBooks ever the better choice?

If you drive a lot for work, QuickBooks' mileage tracking is excellent: your phone detects each drive and you swipe to classify it. Almost every accountant can work in it, too.

Move from QuickBooks and let Autopilot keep the books, starting this month.
