Hi, I'm Snappy. If you run a corporate service provider, you know the work: company set-ups, visas, PRO — and more and more, your clients' books. Before the lessons, let's talk about what makes that hard, and what changes on SnapLedger.

Today, documents arrive by WhatsApp and email, one client at a time. Every receipt and bank line is typed in by hand, then reconciled line by line — and reconciliation alone takes a big part of the month, always for the same few people. Set-ups, visas and PRO jobs live in chat groups and spreadsheets. The government fees you pay for clients sit in your own bank account, mixed with yours. And the deadlines keep coming: VAT every quarter, Corporate Tax every year, payroll every month — and e-invoicing from July 2027.

Traditionally, a corporate service provider that wanted to grow big had to build it all itself: hire an accounting team, put in systems for every job and every client's books, and set up routines for month-end — years of work, and a lot of money spent before the revenue arrives. SnapLedger is a new way to get there: the same machine, ready from day one, in much less time and at much lower cost. For a growing firm, it's a path to becoming a large one. And firms that already run their own systems can move onto SnapLedger, and save what those systems cost to keep.

Clients want one window for everything. The set-up is a one-off fee; the accounting comes back every month, every quarter and every year — it's the part that keeps a client. Without an accounting team, firms pass the books to a third party at a thin margin, and the relationship sits outside. The recurring part of the client walks out the door.

Here's that machine, under one login. In your company's profile, Snappy PM runs every set-up, visa and PRO job — the request, the quote, the client's money, the documents. In your Partner profile, every client's books are a managed client: books, VAT, Corporate Tax and payroll. The platform does the typing and the matching; your team does the checking.

The books can be kept by your own accountants — or by an accounting partner such as Daoile, working inside your Partner profile as your team, behind your brand. Either way, the client signs with you, pays you, and stays yours.

This course follows one growing firm, Harbour Gate, on its way to becoming a large one — in ten short lessons: setting up, running the client work, and keeping the clients' books. Let's begin.
