In their own words
Group Vision Web
Group Vision Web manages legal entity information, including capital, shareholdings, signature powers, directors and other representatives. Its group charting tool calculates direct and indirect ownership percentages without requiring plug-ins. Users can save report templates, generate reports for one or more entities, and export them to Excel, Word or PDF. Document Manager stores corporate documents in its database or links to documents in another application, with access restricted by user permissions. The product runs in a browser on desktops, tablets and smartphones. Askival offers cloud-hosted and on-premises deployments; hosted use can involve perpetual licences or a pay-as-you-go SaaS model. SAML 2.0 authentication and single sign-on are available for hosted and on-premises installations. The maker says its cloud hosting uses Microsoft Azure and EU datacentres described as ISO-certified. On-premises installations require Windows Server 2016 or later and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 or later; the application database needs 100 MB of disk space. Askival also offers migration, customisation, integration consultancy, helpdesk support and training. Pricing is on request.
TaxCalc
TaxCalc is a UK accounting software platform for tax compliance, client management, and practice operations. Its products prepare personal, partnership, trust, and company tax returns, as well as statutory accounts. For Self Assessment, SimpleStep guides users through relevant sections, with an option to switch to HMRC-style forms. Calculations update in real time, and Check & Finish reviews a return before submission. Tax products submit directly to HMRC, while Accounts Production files statutory accounts to Companies House. Accounts Production can import year-end trial balances from Xero, QuickBooks, or FreeAgent and export journals and adjustments; integrations differ between products. TaxCalc supports self-employment and investment income, but does not include state filing. It runs on Linux, macOS, and Windows, with mobile access limited to the web. Pricing is paid, from £42, with a free trial and no free plan. TaxCalc says each licence includes unlimited weekday phone and email support from UK-based, accountancy-trained specialists.
