Who are Crunch?

Crunch are online accountants passionate about empowering Britain’s self-employed.  Sole traders and limited companies can sign up for Crunch’s free online accounting software. Or if you need more support, buy an accountancy package with unlimited support and expert advice from your own dedicated client managers and accountants.

They don’t stop at accountancy support. Crunch also offers other services including specialist business insurance, mortgages for self-employed, and (with Hargreaves Lansdown) a Stocks and Shares ISA and personal pension. 

Anyone – Crunch customer or not – can join Crunch Chorus, their supportive community for the self-employed. You’ll find lots of helpful jargon-free articles and downloadable guides, as well as discounts and offers – and it’s totally free.

How do Tide’s accounting integrations work?

Open Banking makes our accounting integrations possible. Using Open Banking technology, all transactions made in your Tide app can be automatically and securely imported into your Crunch software, ready for you or your Crunch team to view and manage.
