About
Quiet, document-first VAT work
Interface Automation helps UK finance teams prove that VAT on their invoices and returns matches the rules they intend to follow — before a query forces the conversation.
Why we exist
VAT errors rarely announce themselves. They hide in coding habits, incomplete supplier files, and partial exemption shortcuts that looked fine last year. We built Interface Automation to give finance teams an independent check that starts with documents, not with software demos.
We work from Abermule with clients across the United Kingdom. Engagements are scoped to named periods and material streams. Pricing is informational until we have seen enough of your ledger to quote honestly.
How we stay useful
- Findings written for finance and advisors, not for a product roadmap
- Sample sizes explained up front so nothing feels like a black-box scan
- Clear limits: we do not file returns, represent you before HMRC, or replace your accountant
