The Only Governance Command Centre Built to Neutralize the Strict Liability Risks of MTD 2026.
Join forward-thinking firms moving from "Trust" to Command and Control
The 2026 Reality: You are Operating in a Visibility Gap
In the new tax regime, "trust" is not a management strategy. With filing volumes quadrupling under MTD for ITSA, the distance between your Boardroom and your frontline staff has become a legal minefield.
As a Partner, you carry 100% of the liability. Do you have 100% visibility?
Strict Liability
Under the Criminal Finances Act, you are personally exposed to the failures of your team—even those you aren't aware of.
The Insurance Trap
Most PI policies have a 7-day notification window. If a penalty is missed by staff and the window closes, your indemnity is gone.
Capacity Collapse
You cannot hire your way out of a 400% volume surge. Linear growth is dead.
From Reactive Admin to Institutional Governance
NorthStar is the "Central Nervous System" for the modern accountancy firm. We integrate directly with HMRC and your existing software to provide Observable Assurance.
The Statutory Defence Pack
Automatically generate the "Reasonable Prevention Procedures" (RPP) required to satisfy HMRC auditors and the courts. Move from "Self-Certified" risk to a Counsel-Vetted Posture.
Notification Certainty
NorthStar identifies HMRC penalties and client disputes the moment they occur—bypassing staff filters. We ensure you hit the 7-day insurance notification window every time.
Non-Linear Scaling
Reclaim 10 hours of manager capacity per week. Automate the "chasing" of thousands of clients across Email, SMS, and AI-Voice without adding to your salary overhead.
5 Reasons Why Partners Cannot Rely on Manual Oversight in 2026
Elimination of "Data Islands"
Accountancy firms are fractured across disparate software (Xero, HMRC portals, IRIS). NorthStar unifies these islands into a single, verified source of truth that Partners can monitor in real-time.
Hard-Coded "Reasonable Steps"
The law requires you to take "Reasonable Steps" to prevent tax evasion facilitation. If those steps exist only in a manager's head, they don't legally exist. NorthStar institutionalizes these procedures into automated, unalterable workflows.
Protection Against Staff Turnover
When a senior manager leaves, their "client intuition" leaves with them. NorthStar captures this intelligence. New hires step into a governed environment with a full audit trail.
Premium Positioning for Firm Valuation
If you are planning an exit or merger, "Compliance Debt" is your biggest discount factor. NorthStar proves your practice is a "Clean Machine," providing 24 months of signed Governance Certificates to prospective buyers.
Client Behavioral Science
MTD requires clients to be more disciplined. NorthStar uses automated behavioral nudges (SMS/Voice) to "train" your clients to be compliant, reducing the emotional and temporal tax on your staff.
The Monthly Governance Certificate: Your 5-Minute Peace of Mind
Every 30 days, NorthStar generates a Board-level summary of your practice health. This isn't just a report; it's your Legal Shield.
Verified Data
Direct from the HMRC Master Sync—no manual entry, no human error.
Partner Sign-off
Creates a contemporaneous record of diligence for your PI renewal.
Third-Party Reliance
Backed by an independent Master Legal Opinion, providing the strongest legal defence in the UK.
Stop Managing Tasks. Start Governing Risk.
Don't let the 2026 MTD surge be the event that exposes your practice. Join the firms moving from "Trust" to Command and Control.
