Delivered by our ICAEW partner firm — no separate bill
Process invoices, answer questions, automate tasks
Year-end filing is included on every CholaVerse plan — you don't get a separate bill. Our partner accountancy firm is ICAEW-registered with full professional indemnity cover. They file your annual accounts and Corporation Tax return using the books CholaVerse maintains through the year. You still need to review and approve your own books (standard requirement for any business owner), and complex scenarios like R&D tax credits or group restructuring may involve additional advice at preferential rates.
For the 80%: common questions like "where's my order," "can I return this," "what's your delivery time" — our AI drafts the reply using your knowledge base and the customer's order history. A human (you or your staff) reviews and sends. For the 20%: anything complex, sensitive, or a judgement call — the AI flags it for you to handle directly. Most sellers need a few hours a week, not a full-time person, once the system is trained.
Your partner accountant represents you using their professional credentials and indemnity cover. CholaVerse provides them (and HMRC, with your authorisation) with complete transaction records and audit logs. Tax investigations are a standard part of being in business — you're covered on the accounting side. You're still responsible for keeping accurate business records and reviewing your own numbers.
The competitor prices are publicly listed as of April 2026 and will be updated quarterly. Staff costs (customer service, marketing) are based on typical UK wage data for part-time and full-time roles at a mid-market e-commerce business. Agency fees are based on reported industry averages. Your actual savings will depend on your exact tool stack, staff costs, and contract terms. Use the calculator above to enter your real numbers.
The included service covers standard year-end filing and basic tax queries for VAT-registered limited companies up to around £2m turnover. If you need specialist advice (international tax, R&D claims, complex share schemes, mergers and acquisitions), the partner firm offers these at preferential rates for CholaVerse customers, or you can engage any independent specialist.
Yes. Monthly plans cancel with no penalty — your access continues to the end of the billing period. Your data is fully exportable as CSV or JSON any time, and we keep a read-only backup for 90 days after cancellation in case you change your mind. No lock-in, no "contact sales to cancel" tricks.
We don't replace your bank, payment processor (Stripe/PayPal), or shipping carriers — we connect to them. We don't do Shopify theme design or storefront development. We don't handle complex tax work (see specialist advice above). For some larger businesses (£10m+ revenue), we work alongside enterprise tools like NetSuite or SAP rather than replacing them entirely.
