How the check works
BookKept holds a placement, its weeks, its invoices and its compliance record as one chain, so the moment your book is in, the dashboard reads it back as a list it calls exceptions: what an inspection would ask for first, each with the door to fix it. The check is your actual book, standing in a real system, telling you what it holds and what it does not; nothing gets scanned and emailed back as a PDF verdict.
The importer takes five spreadsheets: clients, contacts, umbrellas, workers, placements. It reads your own column headings, shows you everything it is about to do as a dry run first, and a corrected file re-imports safely. A small book is in within minutes.
What it looks for
Everything below comes from the record, deterministically. No scoring, nothing inferred.
- Placements with no Key Information Document, or one that went stale when a stated fact changed (Conduct Regs reg 13A).
- Workers with no right-to-work check on file, and checks whose follow-up date has passed or falls inside 30 days, including the 1 October 2026 rule change as a dated exposure.
- The AWR qualifying clock per placement, counted from approved weeks, with the calendar as the warning where approvals lag.
- Company placements with no status determination statement and clients whose size is unstated, which is the IR35 exposure HMRC asks about first.
- Umbrellas carrying live placements with an evidence file that is empty or lapsed, which since 6 April 2026 is your PAYE liability, not theirs.
- Approved weeks nobody has invoiced.
Two ways to run it
Yourself. Start a free book, open the importer, bring the spreadsheets in. The free tier is the whole system for up to three contractors, no card, and the getting-started list walks the setup. If your book is bigger than three, the check still works; the tier only matters if you stay.
Or with us. Email your spreadsheets to corey@comcomputing.im and a person brings the book in for you, usually inside twenty minutes, then walks you through what it found on a call or in writing, whichever you prefer. Messy spreadsheets are expected; that is rather the point.
What happens to your data
The book is yours either way. It exports whole from your own Settings, the audit trail included, and if you decide the product is not for you we delete the tenant on request, with the statutory retention rules applied and stated rather than silently ignored. The long version, including where the data lives and who is behind the product, is at Your data.
What the check costs
Nothing. The honest commercial logic: an agency that sees its own exception list next to its own placements understands the product faster than any pitch we could write, and some of those agencies stay. The ones that fix their gaps in a spreadsheet and leave still got a useful morning out of us, which is fine.
