### "123 sheets"

November 19, 2021

5.0

Using 123 sheets is saving me around 54 hours of time per annum.

Pros

Super-fast submission of vat returns with no need to enter government gateway user ID's, passwords or SMS confirmation codes (unlike sage which is still in the dark ages).

Cons

No negative aspects to using the product.

I use the software to submit VAT returns and it's useful to just visit the site and enter my own figures.

I don't always find the default spreadsheet straight away.
