Making Tax Digital for Income Tax

My accountant has retired and I'm in the process of sourcing a new one but proving harder than I thought.

Having been picked to be questioned by HMRC's market research on the above, I've been trying to source a new software package to trial but have input my requirements on the Govt website and worked through the majority of the suggested companies to consider, I'm finding a couple of issues.

Completing self assessment currently, I complete-  PAYE, charitable giving, investment income, receipts of UK interest and personal pension contributions to a SIPP. 

None of the suggested software allows all of the above to be input. Thinking I would phone a couple of the companies direct for advice (paid for software), they are wanting me to register my details to 'trial' their software and then submit a question - which I'm not keen on if they can't left me input the above 5 fields....

Any suggestions short of ploughing through each company and seeing if I can find one to phone. Could be unlucky with the 2 I have tried. Thanks!

    If you are not self-employed or receiving property income then MTD doesn't affect you.

    I am, which is what is making me have to look into it and thinking I should at least try and find one and trial it while HMRC are having this trial perid prior to next April.
