MazApp
Made for small businesses
We’ve developed our own software that is perfectly created for businesses just like yours. No need to the expense of a separate software subscription like Xero or QuickBooks, our software MazApp will do everything you need.
And the best part?
We won’t ask you to do any of the hard work yourself.
That’s right, no more data entry or bank reconciliations!
What does MazApp do?
Send invoices
MazApp allows you to send invoices, automatically chase payments, send statements to your customers, and get paid faster. All of your invoices are automatically sent to your accountancy team for review, so you can be assured that you’re getting it right from the off!
Upload documents
With MazApp you can snap and send your documents into your secure envelope, forward them in via email or upload them from your devices. All your documents are stored in one place for your accountancy team to review before they start doing the bookkeeping for your business.
Making Tax Digital
Our MazApp software has been approved by HMRC for Making Tax Digital (MTD), and can do all of your MTD filings.
VAT Returns
Our Accountants use MazApp to file your VAT returns to HMRC on your behalf – all fully MTD approved and with the peace of mind that your calculations are done by a qualified accountant every time.
Connect your Bank Account
Connect your bank account and credit card to MazApp, automatically download your transactions and send them straight to your accountancy team for review.
Bookkeeping
MazApp contains a full bookkeeping function that our Accountants use on your behalf. It takes your documents, receipts, invoices, and bank statements and turns them into monthly management accounts that our specialist accountants prepare for you. With MazApp handling the data entry and our accountants handling the technical stuff, you can be assured that your figures are correct at all times – letting you use them to make the right decisions for your business.
Bank reconciliation
One of the trickier aspects of bookkeeping is performing a bank reconciliation. MazApp will do this automatically for you! What’s even better is that you don’t have to remember to press a button or book time in to get it done – we schedule it automatically for you. All you have to do is upload your documents and we’ll do absolutely everything else.
File your Taxes
When you use MazApp you know that your taxes will be filed accurately and on time. Our specialist accountants not only use MazApp throughout the year to produce your monthly management accounts, but they will also file your accounts and tax return on your behalf. All you have to do is keep uploading your documents and we’ll do the rest.
Industry-leading Technology
We’ve created technology at Mazuma that is designed specifically for the needs of our clients. Only our clients and our team get to use the tech that we created. And we created our own because there was nothing out there on the market that we felt properly addressed the needs of our client base.
Don’t get us wrong – there is some incredible technology out there. But the problem we found was that, because it’s created for the mass market, it didn’t really fit the most common needs of our small and micro business clients:
- Ease of use – no faffing around with reconciliations or matching things off
- Time-saving – if the software only saves your accountant time and not you, it’s not the right thing for you!
- Reports you can rely on – real-time data sounds great, but it only works if you are absolutely sure that everything you have done it right. 96% of accountants have to correct their client’s data in software packages before they do their tax returns and accounts. So maybe that real time data isn’t that useful after all?
Cutting edge tech for everyone
With our own technology we developed a way for you to have the benefits of the most cutting edge and industry leading services, without having to spend your time using them. Our technology also comes completely free as part of your subscription with Mazuma – so no extra costs.
If you decide to send us in an envelope of paper receipts every month, our technology will scan, digitise, organise, extract and analyse your data before sending it to your accountancy team for review – every single month.
Or if you want to use our technology by uploading, using snap and send or using it alongside some of your other favourite tech – you can do that too.
Incredible Accuracy Rates
With a 99.7% accuracy rate, our data extraction tech ensures that all of your bookkeeping is accurate – so that your accountancy team can spend their time giving you advice, not picking through the pennies and pounds on your ledgers.
We let the technology do its job so that our humans can do theirs – giving you awesome advice!

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes - we use software that is compliant with Making Tax Digital. If you don’t want the stress or worry or setting up a new digital system, contact us today to see how we can ensure that your accounts are compliant with MTD.
Keeping digital records is a core aspect of Making Tax Digital. From now on you will need to keep your records in a digital format, stored on a computer or in the cloud. If you use handwritten invoices or receipts then you'll have to transfer that accounting information into MTD compliant software before you submit your returns (or get your accountant to do it for you!).
Keeping digital records doesn’t mean you don’t have to keep original paperwork. Quite the opposite, in fact. Original paperwork still needs to be stored as it could be required by HMRC in the event of a tax or VAT investigation. For most businesses, it means keeping paperwork for at least six years, though for many (VAT MOSS) it is a minimum of 10 years. HMRC will accept digital copies of receipts and invoices, so you could scan documents and store them to save on storage space in the office. But who has time for that?
Something we pride ourselves on at Mazuma is digitising records for our clients who don't want to use our app or their own MTD compliant software. If you prefer more traditional methods or are perhaps a little sceptical of a more digital future, you can send us all of your paperwork. We’ll scan and digitise it for you, saving you a lot of admin hassle and keeping you completely compliant with current and future MTD rules.
Yes, if you are VAT registered and your turnover is above £85,000, then the rules apply - it doesn’t matter if you’re a sole trader or a limited company! And eventually it is likely to apply to all businesses with a turnover over £10,000 as well as most individuals who submit tax returns - such as the self employed and landlords.
To become compliant with MTD, you need to use government approved software to record your accounts and submit your finances to HMRC. You can refer to HMRC’s software search tool to find out more, or you can use a reliable accountant who already uses MTD compliant software - like Mazuma - to sort it all for you. We know what we’d rather do!
If you’re not VAT registered, we would still recommend that you use HMRC compliant digital accountancy software - especially if your business is close to the VAT threshold! It’s better to be prepared for when your business does cross the threshold.
It’s also worth noting that for non-VAT registered entities, you’ll soon most likely be required to submit some sort of return up to four times a year instead of once. If it’s going to take up too much of your time, or if it’ll cost you too much money, you can use a reliable accountant - like Mazuma - for just £32 per month plus VAT to sort everything for you. No stress - we’ve got you covered.
At the moment, no. Making Tax Digital won’t change how often you need to submit your vat return and you still have to send the same information. MTD will simply change how you record your finances as well as how you submit your quarterly VAT return to the powers at be, HMRC.
