Automatic deadline generation
Add a client once — entity type, year-end, VAT stagger and obligations — and FilingKeeper builds a rolling 12-month schedule of every statutory date, exactly as HMRC and Companies House set it.
Features
FilingKeeper does one job well: it works out every UK statutory deadline for each client, reminds your practice before they are due, and keeps proof of what you filed — all in one calm view.
Add a client once — entity type, year-end, VAT stagger and obligations — and FilingKeeper builds a rolling 12-month schedule of every statutory date, exactly as HMRC and Companies House set it.
Identify urgent filings before penalties strike. Real-time statutory fine exposure calculation (£150 to £1,500+) with a direct action menu to chase records, upload proof, or clear blockers in one click.
Stop spending hours sending manual chasing emails. Send branded document requests with automated multi-stage chasing (polite → firm → urgent). Clients upload records directly without logging in.
Automatic email reminders at 30, 14, 7 and 1 days before each deadline, in one daily digest to the whole practice. Nothing slips because someone was on leave or between systems.
Move each filing from not started, to in progress, to submitted — with who changed it and when. The whole practice can see what's done without asking.
Attach the confirmation or receipt to the deadline it belongs to. When a client questions a filing months later, the evidence is one click away.
Assign work to staff, filter by teammate or client, and see the entire practice at a glance rather than relying on one senior person's memory.
Share your dedicated referral code with colleagues or peer bookkeeping firms. They get an extra 30 days of trial when they sign up with your code, and when they track 3 clients you get a month as well.
Names, dates and filing flags only — no financial figures, no HMRC logins. Less sensitive data means a smaller risk to carry for you and your clients.

Where it fits
HMRC requires MTD-compatible software — or bridging software for spreadsheets — to submit VAT returns and Making Tax Digital for Income Tax updates. FilingKeeper is not that software, and never files for you. Keep filing where you file today; FilingKeeper makes sure every client's filing happens on time and keeps the proof afterwards. More on the difference in deadline tracker vs MTD software.
Submits the return to HMRC, from compatible software or a bridging tool.
Works out every client's statutory dates, ranks what is at risk, and reminds the practice before anything is late.
Reviews and files, then marks it submitted with the confirmation attached as proof.
