Who this tool is designed for
Bridgly is for you if:
- ✓ You're confused or overwhelmed by traditional accounting software
- ✓ You just want clean, correct accounts without becoming an accountant
- ✓ You prefer clarity and control over endless features you'll never use
- ✓ You run a UK micro-entity using cash-basis accounting
Bridgly probably isn't for you if:

You stay in control
Only reviewed transactions affect your reports. No surprises, no automatic changes, no numbers shifting behind your back.

You don't need accounting knowledge to use Bridgly. Everything is explained in plain English, when you need it.
Faster setup
Traditional accounting tools can take days to configure. Bridgly? Upload transactions and start reviewing. That's it.
