I work in an accountancy firm by day, and I'd grown tired of what "free invoicing" usually means: apps that look fine until the details matter. No CIS deductions, no proper VAT breakdown, records scattered across three places - and someone paying their accountant to untangle it all at every company year end, or the January deadline for the self-employed.

MyWorkBase is what I did about it - built in my own time, as my own project. I wanted free invoicing that's actually worth having, with as much packed in as I could fit, so tradespeople and company directors can send a proper invoice in minutes and keep every record that matters - without paying a penny.

It's grown from there. With Making Tax Digital now live, the MTD add-on keeps digital records and quarterly figures the way HMRC expects. And Workforce Pro makes taking people on manageable - CIS subcontractors, PAYE workers or self-employed help - with payments recorded properly and the paperwork kept concise, so you stay on the right side of HMRC and your admin stays down to a minimum.
