Making Tax Digital pitches
Making Tax Digital is the reason most people join our accounting write for us programme. MTD articles get the fastest yes from us when they solve a specific job a reader faces this quarter. Examples: mapping a landlord’s spreadsheet to quarterly categories, explaining what “digital links” means in practice, or walking through the corrections process after an error in an earlier update. Vague overviews of MTD are less useful because HMRC already publishes those.
Tax and accounting pitches
A good share of pitches arrive via write for us tax or tax write for us searches, and they’re welcome as long as they stay UK-focused and practical. A write for us accounting pitch on bookkeeping habits, year-end checklists or claiming expenses correctly is handled the same way as an MTD piece.
Business and finance pitches
Typed small business write for us, business write for us or write for us business into Google to find us? We’ll consider your idea if tax or accounts sits at its centre. A small business blog guest post comparing sole trader and limited company running costs would suit us, as would a startup guest post on registering with HMRC in the first few months.
Accounting write for us rules apply to every subject here. Whether it’s labelled business startup write for us, business finance write for us, write for us finance or finance write for us, a pitch follows one route. No separate form exists for a business blog write for us, write for us business blog or finance blog write for us enquiry; this page handles them all.
Money, investing and personal finance pitches
We take personal finance write for us ideas when tax drives them, such as declaring side-hustle income under MTD or how a pension withdrawal affects a tax bill. Ideas pitched as money write for us or banking write for us content are judged on that basis too. A personal finance guest post or investment guest post should explain the tax treatment, not recommend products. Lifestyle saving tips suit another personal finance blog write for us outlet better; our readers come for tax.
MTD software, SaaS and fintech pitches
Making Tax Digital runs on software, so this is one of the busiest corners of our accounting write for us inbox. Whether you found us by searching software write for us, write for us software, SaaS write for us or write for us SaaS, the brief is the same: help readers choose and use Making Tax Digital software. Good angles include what HMRC-recognised software has to do, when bridging software beats a full accounting package, moving from spreadsheets to MTD compatible software, and how bank feeds and receipt apps fit into digital record keeping. Read our guides to the best MTD software, free MTD software and MTD software costs first, so your angle adds something new.
Accounting software write for us pitches, fintech write for us ideas and tech write for us or technology write for us submissions follow that route too. A software guest post, SaaS guest post or fintech guest post that teaches something useful runs as editorial. If the piece mainly sells your own product, it has to be booked as a sponsored post.
Property and construction pitches
Landlords are a big part of our readership, so property write for us ideas are especially welcome. We also take construction write for us pitches on CIS and quarterly reporting for builders.
We don’t accept: forex, crypto, betting, casino and gambling content, CBD, vapes, weapons, adult material, payday loans or anything unlawful, nor articles about tax regimes outside the UK.

- Sourced. Back every allowance, limit and filing date with a link to GOV.UK or HMRC guidance.
- Practical. Include a worked example, a checklist or numbered steps.
- Plain English. Short paragraphs, clear H2 and H3 headings, and jargon explained the first time it appears.

- Links. Stay within your option’s allowance and never point to a restricted subject.
- Images. Not required. If you supply any, they need clear rights for commercial use, a width of 1,200px or more, and alt text.

- Hear back within five working days. Silence after that means we’ll pass on the idea for now.
- Deliver the draft. After we’ve agreed the subject, email the finished piece (.docx or a shared Google Doc) plus a photo of yourself and a short bio. If we’re writing it for you, a keyword and anchor text will do.
