The honest boundary

Keep the accountant for the work that needs an accountant.

Sessional keeps your records and does the calculations all year. File your own return for free, or hand your accountant clean books and pay them for less. It does not file your return or give regulated advice.

Tools and detail for the work in front of you.

Questions, answered plainly.

What does it cost?

Basic is free and stays free, with up to 5 shifts and 5 invoices a month. Plus is £14.99 a month and removes both caps, then adds auto-chasers, expenses and receipts read for you, the tax planner and earnings forecast, the document store and compliance passport, calendar sync, booking confirmations, collecting feedback, and Ask Sandy. The whole appraisal engine is on every plan, Basic included: your professional record and its exports, reflections, CPD evidence, the appraisal pack, your feedback reports and the NMC revalidation tracker. So is booking messaging. Pro is £24.99 a month and adds Xero sync, the REST API, advanced reporting and priority support. Basic needs no card. Plus and Pro start with a 14-day free trial the first time you subscribe: a card is taken at the start, nothing is charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel before then from your billing page.

Do you take a cut of my rate?

No. Sessional charges a flat monthly fee and takes 0% of your work. Sessional never holds your money or takes custody of your income.

I am a nurse or midwife. Is the NMC revalidation tracker free?

Yes. The NMC revalidation tracker is on every tier, including free Basic, because revalidation is a regulatory obligation, not a paid feature. It counts your practice hours from logged shifts against the 450-hour target over your three-year cycle.

I work agency, bank, and PAYE in the same month. Does that work?

Yes. Each shift carries its own billing mode, and the pay-check view shows short-paid and unpaid shifts across every employer in one place. Basic includes up to 5 shifts and 5 invoices a month. Plus removes both caps.

Does Sessional file my tax or verify my documents?

No to both. Sessional keeps your records digital, which is the foundation Making Tax Digital requires, but it does not file on your behalf. It does not verify your documents either: you decide what to share, and the organisation checks them.

Which professions and regulators do you cover?

17 professions across GMC, GPhC, HCPC, NMC, GDC, and GOC. Each profession sees the workflow, documents, and registration logic that fit it.
