Watch a calendar build itself
Two steps and a dated calendar appears: the client record already knows the entity type, the accounting reference date and the services engaged, so the dates follow. Nobody types 31 January into anything.
Nobody decided to miss it.
Four places each said it was fine.
The tax software said it wasn't due yet. The spreadsheet still had it marked unconfirmed. The Outlook reminder fired two years ago and was long since dismissed. And whoever last touched the file remembered something about it — vaguely.
Every answer was reasonable. Together they left nobody actually holding the date.
"Every system told me it was fine."
What feeds the calendar, and what it sets off
Deadline tracking software is only useful where it is wired into everything either side of it.
The record supplies the answers; the calendar decides what has to happen next.
Feeds it
Sets off
Which dates are yours, and which are the client's?
Every date on the calendar has a named person in the practice against it, and where the client has to act first, that dependency is on the record too — so a date waiting on the client is visibly different from a date waiting on you.
One name against every date — not a filter somebody has to remember to apply.
What happens in the three weeks before?
The job for the next VAT quarter is on the board before the current one is filed. Records chasing runs on its own schedule and repeats until it's answered. Nobody drafts the third reminder.
The team works to an internal target with review time built in — the statutory date is the backstop, and clients never see the raw one.
Filed in your tax or ledger software. FigsFlow records what was due, who did it, and when.
The statutory date, and the date you actually work to
Two dates per obligation. The statutory one belongs to HMRC and does not move. The practice target sits ahead of it and belongs to you — the one the team works to, and the one that gives you somewhere to stand when a client is late.
7 days of review, built in — before HMRC's date, not after.
Every chase, upload and review stamped — the file already holds what happened.
And when one slips anyway?
It slips visibly, while there is still time. The date is on a job with an owner, so a slip shows on a board rather than surfacing in a letter six weeks later.
Seen enough? Bring your worst week of the year.
Book a demoA list of dates, or dates attached to work
Tax deadline software for accountants that only shows dates is a spreadsheet with a nicer font. The question is never whether you can see the date. It is whether anything happens because the date exists.
A deadline list
- 01Dates in a spreadsheet somebody updates
- 02Reminders in Outlook
- 03Progress known by asking
The list tells you a date is coming; it does not know whether the records arrived or who is on it.
Dates attached to work
- 01Derived from the client record
- 02Carried by a job, owned by a person
The request already sent and the history already kept.
What this looks like at your size
Pick the shape of your practice.
You hold every date in your head and it works — until the week you are ill. The calendar is the thing that means it still works that week.
What you’ll see0:00 / 1:48
- 0:00Every date is in one head. Yours
- 0:26One client record builds the whole year of dates
- 0:55The week you are off, nothing silently lapsesThis is the whole point
- 1:24Evidence for the penalty conversation, already kept
Preview clock — no video source set
Three people, one client list, and no shared view of what is due. Owners end the assumption that somebody else has it.
What you’ll see0:00 / 2:02
- 0:00Three people, and the date belongs to nobody
- 0:31Every obligation gets one named owner
- 1:02The one that fell between two people is now visibleNo more “I thought you had it”
- 1:35One board everyone reads the same way
Preview clock — no video source set
Four hundred clients and a January that starts in October. The practice target date is what turns that from a scramble into a plan.
What you’ll see0:00 / 2:10
- 0:00Four hundred clients, one January
- 0:34Practice targets pull the work back into October
- 1:08The radar shows which dates are at risk, six weeks outTime to move capacity
- 1:42January stops being the month everything lands in
Preview clock — no video source set
Consistency across offices, and evidence that the date was managed rather than merely met.
What you’ll see0:00 / 2:16
- 0:00Four offices, four different ways of working
- 0:36One set of rules, applied the same way everywhere
- 1:12The trail shows the date was managed, not merely metWhat a reviewer asks for
- 1:48Exportable evidence, per client, per obligation

Works with what you already run
Sits alongside your tax and filing software rather than replacing either. FigsFlow does not file and does not guarantee compliance — it makes the date something owned, visible and evidenced.
Built inside a working UK practice
Built by people who had their own worst week of the year, more than once.
Named practice references and review-platform ratings are not shown on this page yet. They will be added once the practices concerned have agreed in writing.
What it costs
Deadlines are almost certainly not metered. “Included, not metered” is a complete and competitive answer — to confirm before publishing.
AVAILABILITY-NOTE-01 pendingUS availability with a date — to confirm.
What the date connects to
A deadline is only a date until something is attached to it. These four are what the calendar reads from and writes to; the rest of the platform sits around them on the same shared record.

The trail a practice produced when a client disputed who had been late, and what it had recorded without anyone being asked to.
Read the case studyWhy a deadline list is not a deadline system
Seeing the date and doing something about it are different problems, and only one of them is solved by a spreadsheet.
Read the articleFive dates per client, and what that does to a year
MTD for Income Tax turns one annual obligation into a recurring quarterly one. Here is what that looks like on a calendar.
Read the articleThe date nobody owned
Most missed deadlines are not missed by anyone in particular. That is the problem, and it is a fixable one.
Read the articleCase studies, films and articles are in production. Named practice references will be published once the practices concerned have agreed in writing.
What practices ask before they switch
No. Filing stays in your tax software. FigsFlow holds the date, the owner, the job and the evidence around it.
From the client record — entity type, accounting reference date, VAT stagger, payroll frequency and the services engaged. Change the year end and the dates change with it.
Yes, and most firms should. The practice target sits ahead of the statutory date and is the one the team works to.
The dates derive from that client's own reference date, not from a default.
No, and any software that says otherwise is selling you something. It makes a missed date visible early and owned by somebody, which is what actually prevents most of them.
Bring your worst week of the year
No scripted demo. Bring the week you dread and we will build it as a calendar in front of you, with owners and target dates, and you can decide whether it looks manageable. The deadline stops being something to remember and becomes something to review.
