Can I use August and Hammock together?

In principle, yes some landlords use August for day-to-day property operations and a separate accounting tool for tax reporting. August handles rent tracking via open banking through Plaid, compliance, documents, reminders, and the tenant experience, while Hammock focuses on bookkeeping reconciliation, tax statements, and MTD submissions. If your accountant specifically requests direct access to a dedicated accounting platform, or if MTD filing is a current regulatory requirement for you, running both tools is a workable arrangement. That said, most self-managing landlords with straightforward portfolios will find that August covers enough ground, including income and expense tracking and CSV exports, that a second subscription is unnecessary.
