Overview

The cloud-based suite covers bookkeeping, VAT, payroll, final accounts, tax, practice management, company secretarial work and CRM. Practices can give clients access to bookkeeping and payroll tools, while the firm can use workflow automation, time tracking, billing, document management, deadline tracking and a client portal. This breadth is useful for firms with varied service lines; it is less compelling for buyers who need a single, predictable subscription covering everything.

Bookkeeping combines bank feeds and automated reconciliation with invoicing, online payments, receipt management and VAT submissions. Final Accounts supports direct filing to HMRC and Companies House, and one-click trial balance imports from Xero, Zoho Books, FreeAgent and QuickBooks. Nomi also names integrations including Companies House, FreeAgent, GoCardless, QuickBooks, Stripe, Xero and Zapier, among others.

Key features

Users can send receipts through WhatsApp, where AI extracts and organises the details. The Apple and Android app supports invoicing clients, tracking payments and capturing receipts, making those recurring tasks accessible away from a desktop.

Nomi says its servers are in London, with backups in multiple locations, and that product data is stored exclusively on UK servers. Its data processing addendum says it does not knowingly collect or process sensitive personal data. Dedicated support is advertised Monday to Friday, with help for data migration and setup; those services matter to firms moving existing client records into a new platform.

Pricing

Nomi has no free plan, but offers a 30-day free trial with access to all premium services and no credit card required. Its pricing spans monthly module charges, per-client charges and one-off submission fees, so practices should price the combination they actually need rather than treating the lowest module price as the suite cost.

Self Assessments: £4.00 per month, billed +VAT, with MTD readiness, HMRC submissions, client and practice workflow tools, and document storage. It is aimed at practices handling personal tax work.
Bookkeeping & VAT: £4.00 per month, billed +VAT, including expense and receipt management, VAT submissions, bank reconciliation and feeds, invoicing and online payments. This is the core bookkeeping option, but does not by itself cover the separate practice-management or final-accounts modules.
Payroll, Pension & CIS: £2.00 per month, billed +VAT, for up to 10 employees, then 40p for each additional employee. The employee cap makes it a lower-cost fit for smaller payrolls.
Final Accounts: £4.00 per month, billed +VAT, with corporation tax and statutory accounts submissions, accounts production, automated adjustments and journals, and direct HMRC and Companies House filing.
Practice Management: £10.00 per client/month, including automated KYC and onboarding, task and deadline management, and a client portal. Its per-client basis means costs rise with the client base.
Company Secretarial: £0.30 per business/month, covering confirmation statements, company incorporations and a Companies House connection.
Payroll, Pension & CIS (practice): £2.00 per client/month for up to 10 employees, then 40p for each additional employee, with HMRC/RTI compliance.
Final Accounts (practice): £4.00 per submission, with CT600 and statutory accounts submissions, FRS105/FRS102 templates and one-click trial balance import.
Self Assessments (practice): £4.00 per submission, covering MTDITSA readiness, HMRC submission, e-signatures and data collection, and document storage.
Bookkeeping & VAT (practice): £4.00 per client/month, with unlimited bank feeds, invoicing and online payments, VAT submissions and UK server storage.
Payroll (business owners): £10.00 per month, with payroll, pension auto-enrolment, CIS management and HMRC/RTI compliance.
Bookkeeping (business owners): £15.00 per month, with bookkeeping, VAT submissions, bank feeds, invoicing and online payments.

The practice options charge by client or submission rather than using the same monthly basis as the business-owner modules. That can suit firms billing for discrete services, but makes it important to account for both client volume and submission volume when comparing costs.

Platforms

Nomi is available on the web, Android and iOS. The mobile app supports invoicing, payment tracking and receipt capture, while the web platform serves the broader cloud-based suite.

Who it's for

Nomi is best suited to accounting and bookkeeping practices that offer several client services and want bookkeeping, payroll, compliance and practice operations in one modular platform. It is also relevant to business owners seeking bookkeeping or payroll tools. Firms with a narrow need may prefer a focused product, and practices that need one all-inclusive price should compare the module charges carefully before committing.

Pros and cons

Pros: The modules cover a broad range of practice and client work, from bookkeeping and payroll to final accounts and company secretarial tasks.
Pros: WhatsApp receipt capture with AI extraction and a mobile app for invoicing, payment tracking and receipts address routine work beyond the desktop.
Pros: The 30-day trial includes premium services and requires no credit card, giving firms time to assess the modules before paying.
Cons: Monthly, per-client and per-submission charges make total spend less straightforward to forecast than a single suite subscription.
Cons: Payroll pricing covers up to 10 employees before an additional 40p charge per employee, so larger payrolls cost more.

Verdict

Choose Nomi if your practice needs several accounting and client-service modules and values being able to price bookkeeping, payroll and compliance work on different bases. Its broad coverage, mobile receipt tools and full-service trial are persuasive advantages. Look elsewhere if your priority is one predictable subscription: Nomi’s per-client and per-submission charges, alongside monthly module fees, require a close estimate of how your firm will use the suite.
