Filo is built for sole traders who need to keep digital tax records and submit information to HMRC. It is suitable for self-employed drivers, couriers, plumbers, electricians, cleaners, gardeners, tradespeople, and other sole traders who want to keep their records organised in one place.

You upload your bank statements, and Filo reads the transaction data to suggest categories for income and expenses and help keep records organised. Filo cannot move money, make payments, or access your online banking password.
