uk-finance-accounting — Claude Code plugin for UK accounting
A Claude plugin that handles UK bookkeeping: FRS 102 journal entries, VAT with 9-box MTD returns, Companies House filings, PAYE payroll and month-end close.
/plugin marketplace add anthropics/claude-plugins-community
/plugin install uk-finance-accounting@claude-communityWhat uk-finance-accounting does
The plugin is derived from Anthropic's official finance plugin, with the US layer swapped out. FRS 102 stands in for US-GAAP, HMRC VAT and MTD replace sales tax, and employer NIC plus auto-enrolment replace FICA and 401(k). Skills with no US counterpart were added: VAT reconciliation, MTD filing, Companies House, PAYE/RTI payroll.
Nine slash commands ship with it: /journal-entry, /financial-statements, /reconciliation, /variance-analysis, /internal-controls, /scan-invoices, /vat-reconciliation, /mtd-filing, /companies-house. Thirteen skills activate on their own, among them payroll-uk with dated rate and deadline lookups and close-management with a month-end checklist. Invoice scanning runs in batches: PDF pages are rendered to images, fields are pulled with vision, checked for arithmetic errors and duplicates, then written into an Excel workbook.
Rates and deadlines live in finance-uk/data/rates/, finance-uk/data/forms/ and finance-uk/data/deadlines/, and you update those records yourself; the tools in finance-uk/tools/ verify new entries before the skill text changes. No MCP server is required — pasting data or uploading files works. Accounting, payroll, banking and HMRC servers go into .mcp.json, and without that connection filing a return stays a manual job.

What does uk-finance-accounting do?
It covers the UK accounting cycle: journal entries, reconciliations, financial statements, VAT, payroll, Companies House filing and internal controls. Commands and skills apply FRS 102, Companies Act 2006 and HMRC rules instead of generic finance answers.
Do I need MCP servers for this plugin?
No — you can paste data or upload files instead. MCP servers for accounting, payroll, banking or HMRC are declared in .mcp.json, and they remove the manual steps when you file a return.
