Balansix gives you a secure place to send records, see what is outstanding, track your deadlines and talk to the people who look after your accounts — so you spend less time hunting for paperwork and more time running the business.
Most business owners deal with their accountant through scattered emails, forgotten attachments and a annual scramble for records. The Balansix client portal replaces that with one place where everything lives and nothing gets lost.
Upload receipts, purchase invoices and bank statements from your phone or laptop, whenever they land.
See your filing dates and what is due next, without waiting for a reminder email.
Message the team who handle your accounts and get an answer against the right client record.
Look at how the business is performing without asking your accountant to pull a report.
Receipts, purchase invoices and bank statements go straight into the portal, tagged to the right business and the right period. You do not need to name files, sort them into folders or remember which ones you have already sent.
The system reads what you upload and passes it through to the accounting workspace your accountant uses — so the same document you photographed becomes the entry in your books, with the original attached to it.

Your filing dates sit in one place rather than in your accountant’s system where you cannot see them. If something needs your attention, you will know before it becomes urgent.
Year end, accounts filing, VAT periods and other obligations that apply to your business, in plain language.
If the practice cannot progress without something from you, it shows as an open request rather than an email you may have missed.
Work the practice is already dealing with is visible too, so you are not chasing something that is underway.
When the practice needs something — a missing invoice, an explanation for a payment, a confirmation — it comes through as a clear request rather than a vague email. You reply in the same place, and it stays attached to your record.
Your dedicated staff contact raises a specific request against your business.
It appears in your portal as an outstanding item, with the context of what it relates to.
Upload the document or answer the question directly, without composing an email.
The request clears once dealt with, so neither side is left wondering.
Company details, addresses, contacts and the sensitive information your accountant is required to hold can be reviewed and updated by you. Changes go to the practice for confirmation rather than being applied silently, so your record stays accurate and the practice keeps its professional controls.
New address, new contact, new bank details — change them yourself instead of hoping the message was picked up.
Sensitive information is submitted through the portal rather than sent as an email attachment that sits in two inboxes forever.
Your accountant reviews changes to the details that matter, so nothing important is altered without a professional eye on it.
Most businesses still send financial records as email attachments. Those attachments sit in sent folders, forwarded threads and personal devices indefinitely. The portal exists so that they do not have to.
Records travel through the portal rather than through email, and remain attached to your business record.
Your access is limited to your own information. You never see the practice’s workspace or another client’s records.
Your information is hosted in the UK, which matters for both your accountant’s obligations and your own.
The questions business owners ask before their first login.
No. It runs in a web browser on a laptop, tablet or phone. There is nothing to download and nothing to keep updated.
Not at all. The portal is deliberately simpler than the workspace your accountant uses. You will not be asked about nominal codes, journals or reconciliations — that is their side of the work.
It is passed through to the accounting workspace and posted against your records, with the original document kept attached to the entry. If anything is unclear, it is queued for a person to look at rather than guessed at.
Yes. Your accountant controls what is shared, and typically that includes a clear view of performance and position — without you needing to request a report each time.
The staff at your accountancy practice who look after your file. Messages are attached to your business record, so whoever picks it up has the context.
The portal comes through your practice rather than directly. If you think your accountant would benefit, point them at this site — they can book a demonstration and see it on one of their own client files.
If your practice already uses Balansix, ask them about setting up your access. If not, they are welcome to see how it works on one of their own client files.
