Designed around the property workbook you already use.

Most MTD tools want you to learn property management software. Aligned reads your existing rental spreadsheet, maps the columns, and lets you file the quarterly update from it.

With Aligned

Upload. Review. Submit.

Drop in your spreadsheet - any format, any layout. Aligned reads your columns and maps them to the right HMRC fields automatically. You check the mapping, hit submit, and your quarterly update is filed. The mapping saves, so next quarter takes seconds.

Works with any Excel spreadsheet
Landlord spreadsheet mapped to rental income and expenses
Without Aligned

Re-type. Reformat. Repeat.

Download a rigid template. Link cells with formulas. Or re-key every figure by hand into another tool. Every quarter. For every client. HMRC's digital mandate means you can't just copy and paste - so you're stuck adapting your workflow to fit someone else's software.

Your rental workbook stays put. The mapping saves for next quarter. No accounting software to learn.

Upload the rental spreadsheet you already keep. No reformatting, no template to learn. Smart Map reads your property income and expenses, however your sheet is laid out.
