Case Study: Paddenburg & Co achieves first MTD ITSA filings and streamlined digital tax with IRIS Software Group

Paddenburg & Co Embrace MTD with IRIS Accountancy Suite

Paddenburg & Co, a Brighton-based firm of certified practising accountants with seven staff, faced the imminent rollout of Making Tax Digital (MTD) for Income Tax and Self‑Assessment (ITSA) and the worry of extra work and possible staffing needs. To prepare for the change they worked with IRIS Software Group and adopted the IRIS Accountancy Suite to manage MTD requirements.

IRIS Software Group helped Paddenburg & Co enrol clients with HMRC, perform the “digital handshake” and use the MTD ITSA trial within IRIS Accountancy Suite to submit filings. The firm became the first IRIS Accountancy Suite users to file MTD for ITSA, has signed up three clients and successfully submitted quarterly returns ahead of the deadline, reducing anxiety, improving confidence and competitiveness — Nick’s announcement also drew over 11,000 LinkedIn views.
