Could Motion remind me about a confirmation statement?

Only if you tell it the date, and keep telling it every year. That is the gap: Motion is excellent at scheduling work you have already identified, and has no way to know that a company’s next confirmation statement moved.

FiledOnTime vs Motion

Motion is an AI calendar: it takes your tasks and schedules them into your day automatically, reshuffling as things change. It is a good answer to "when am I going to do all this".

It is not an answer to "what is due, and when". Motion schedules the work you tell it about. It has no view of the Companies House register.

The two solve different halves of the problem, and a fair number of people will want both.

When Motion is the better choice

Your problem is fitting the work into the day, not knowing what the work is.
You want tasks automatically rescheduled when a day goes sideways.
You want one calendar view across everything you do, not just compliance.

When FiledOnTime is the better choice

The deadline has to be right, not just scheduled. FiledOnTime takes the date from the register rather than from whoever typed it in.
You need to know about a deadline months out, not at the point of scheduling. Reminders start up to a year ahead if you want them.
ECCTA verification per director and PSC across a whole client book.

Pricing
