About us

Built by people who actually run small businesses.

We've been on the customer side of every major accounting product. The big incumbents are powerful but expensive and slow. The cheap ones are barely usable. We thought there should be something better.

The problem we wanted to solve

Running a small business in the UK means juggling sales invoices, supplier bills, employee expenses, multiple bank accounts, foreign currencies, and a quarterly date with HMRC. The accounting tools designed to help with all of this fall into two camps: too expensive for what they do, or too primitive to handle real-world cases like multi-currency or recurring invoicing.

Mia Accounting started as the internal tool we built for our own business — Voyage Manager Ltd. After replacing a more expensive product and saving hundreds of pounds a year while doing the same work in less time, we realised other small businesses were stuck with the same trade-off. So we shaped the tool into a product anyone can use.

The personal-finance product, same engine

The double-entry accounting engine that runs the business product works just as well for tracking a single person's money. So we built a stripped-back personal workspace that uses the same engine, the same bank-import flow, and the same multi-currency handling — with VAT and AR/AP turned off and a household-flavoured chart of accounts (Salary, Rent / Mortgage, Groceries, Utilities, Investments, Property) in their place. £12 a year for personal-only users; free as a perk if you already pay for a Business workspace.

What we believe

  • Software should pay for itself. If you're paying more than you'd save by doing the same work in a spreadsheet, the software is wrong.
  • Multi-currency isn't a premium feature. Lots of UK small businesses sell to customers abroad. They shouldn't have to pay enterprise prices to invoice in dollars.
  • Compliance shouldn't cost extra. MTD-VAT, branded invoices, recurring billing, bank imports — if it's part of running a business in the UK, it's part of the £10.
  • Per-user pricing is a tax on growth. So we don't charge per user. Add the bookkeeper, the accountant, the assistant. We don't care.

How we work

We use Mia Accounting every day for our own books. When something annoys us, we fix it the same week. When a customer flags an edge case — a strange Revolut transfer, a weird VAT scenario, a Norwegian Krone expense report — we solve it for them and roll the fix into the product for everyone. That keeps the product close to reality and the team close to the people we're building for.

Want to talk to a real human? We'd love that. Drop us a line and you'll hear back from one of the founders, not a chatbot.

The team

We're a small team of engineers, accountants, and operators based in the UK. We're not VC-funded, we're not racing to a billion-dollar exit. We're trying to build something honest, useful, and quietly profitable — and to keep the price flat while we do it.
