The register fog

The van is real. The spreadsheet is not.

Cost, additions, disposals and depreciation live in a file nobody trusts. Year-end starts with "which version is current?"

Scattered lists

Insurance, tax and the accountant each have a different asset list. None match the books.

?Depreciation by hand

Someone recalculates straight-line figures in Excel and pastes them into a journal once a year.

!No bridge to schedules

The register never feeds Schedules or YearReady™, so the pack is rebuilt from memory.

How Assets works

Three steps.
A register you can trust.

Bring asset lists in through Connect. Alfred builds the register and depreciation. Schedules drafts the entries. You confirm in Govern.

1Connect your asset list

Upload registers, purchase invoices and ledgers as Excel, CSV or PDF. Alfred only reads what you give him.

2Alfred builds the register

Each asset gets cost, net book value and a depreciation method. Additions and disposals surface for a glance.

3Depreciation feeds the books

Drafts land in Schedules for review. Jump to Financials or YearReady™. Regulated calls still need a named professional.

Why it pays off

A register with the books attached.

The same clear asset view large firms take for granted, kept next to Schedules, Financials and YearReady™.

Time backOne register, not three lists

Cost, NBV and depreciation in a single place, so Monday morning is a glance not a hunt.

AssuranceA real accountant signs off

Every regulated call is reviewed and certified by a qualified professional. Alfred never gives regulated advice.

AccurateDepreciation you can review

Methods and amounts draft into Schedules. You confirm. Nothing silent and irreversible.

Secure and compliantUK GDPR by design, encrypted

Built for UK GDPR with per-client isolation, encryption throughout, and your data not used to train our models. Database in London (eu-west-2); documents in EU-region storage.

Cost-effectiveBig-firm thinking, small-firm price

Assets with Schedules, Financials and Pulse™ in the same subscription. Or sponsored by your accountant.

Peace of mindYear-end starts from the register

The same list feeds YearReady™, so filing season is not a rebuild of every van and machine.

What Assets shows

Register, NBV, depreciation that feeds the books.

Assets is the register layer. Pair it with Schedules for depreciation drafts, Financials, YearReady™, and Connect to get data in. Glossary: fixed assets, depreciation, net book value, capital allowances.

You set the client price and keep the margin. We charge you a simple wholesale fee per client.

Built on trust

Built so you can trust the numbers.

Security is the foundation, not a setting. Your data stays yours, the work is always traceable, and a qualified human owns every regulated decision. Read our security overview.

You choose what to share

You upload only the documents you want Alfred to see. He reads them, never changes them, and acts only on what you approve.

EU-region storage, encrypted

Client data in isolated schemas (London database, EU document storage), encrypted in transit and at rest. Your data is not used to train our models.

Named human sign-off

Regulated work is reviewed and certified by a qualified accountant who stands behind it.

Full audit trail

Every figure and every approval is logged and timestamped, ready for HMRC or your insurer.

Vetted partners only

Any insurance or finance introduction goes to FCA-authorised firms. Alfred never sells.
