Accuracy & freshness
Dates, thresholds, terminology and time-sensitive claims checked against current HMRC guidance.
Public MTD guidance & client-action review
Find the MTD point a client will misunderstand before it becomes partner time.
QuarterReady checks the public journey against current HMRC rules, follows the next action and builds one client-ready fix. Internal operations are only assessed when a firm chooses to work with us and provides the necessary access.

The focused public-page review
Show the evidence. Fix one point properly.
Each finding is limited to the pages checked. If a page or internal process was not inspected, it is marked as unknown—not scored as a failure.
Client questions answered
Whether a visitor can identify their likely start year, what changes and what to prepare.
Action path
Links, next steps, data requested and the point where a client reaches the right person.
Change control
Source, checked date, owner, expiry trigger and the items that still need the firm to confirm.
What a client sees
A decision record, not a generic website critique.

Terminology
Specific, reproducible issue
The package page repeatedly uses “HMRC Approved Software”; HMRC describes products as compatible or recognised and does not recommend providers.

Where commissioned work begins
Turn the public fix into a working client-readiness system.
The free review does not reveal or replace this layer. It needs the firm's actual client data, service decisions, software routes and ownership rules.

Start with evidence
One useful correction before any commercial conversation.
QuarterReady provides independent, source-linked MTD communication and readiness reviews for UK accountancy firms. Public reviews assess only the pages named; internal systems are reviewed only with the firm’s permission and access.
If a review is wrong or misses a relevant page, it is corrected. If the fix is useful and a firm wants help installing and testing it, that is a separate conversation.
