OneSixth takes on VAT margin schemes and partial exemption, the jobs the ledgers can't do

Ryan Pearcy has a partial exemption spreadsheet so big it won't open on some clients' machines, so he was keen to introduce OneSixth. Full disclosure: it's John Toon's.

It does VAT margin schemes and partial exemption, which the big ledgers don't, and posts the journals back to Xero, QuickBooks, Sage and FreeAgent. It started life as a Chrome add-in John built for motor trade margin calculations, and the problem it fixes is that a spreadsheet is frozen in time, so anything posted or changed later gets missed.

It's in beta with about ten testers, free while it is. One of them has already found a golf club's historic partial exemption sums were wrong, from before they took the client on. Irish cash accounting, which works differently to the UK version, is on the way, and there's pricing for firms, businesses and charities, who often get caught by partial exemption.
