What it does

The whole year's bookkeeping. In your own words.

Invoices and credit notes

Raised in a sentence, emailed from the app, chased when late.

Receipts from a photo

Snap it. Ledger reads the amount, the date and the VAT, and books it.

The bank, by conversation

Every bank item matched or questioned. Clear the queue and the books match the bank.

VAT, worked out

Your position for the period and the nine boxes ready each quarter. Cash or accrual.

Reports when asked

Profit, cash, who owes you, what you owe. Ask, and it is there.

Nothing written without a nod

Every change shows you a card first. Confirm, or not.

Who it is for

Sole traders and small limited companies.

The kind of business where the owner does the books on a Sunday night. UK only.

Who it is not for

Medium or large companies. And it does not replace your accountant.

Ledger does the year's bookkeeping. Your accountant does the year-end accounts and the CT600, once, from clean books. Both get an easier year.

Common questions

Ask Ledger. In its own words.

These are the answers Ledger gives inside the app. Same words here.

Are you my accountant?
No. I do the bookkeeping. Your accountant still does the year-end accounts, the Corporation Tax return and anything that needs judgement. When a question is one for them, I say so and can note it under Accountant questions so nothing gets lost.
Will you ever do something without asking?
No. Anything that creates, changes, sends or books something stops at a card for you to confirm first. Reading and reporting happen straight away.
How do I raise an invoice?
Invoices, then New, or ask me: "Invoice Ardrossan Joinery for £450 of design work and email it." I show you the invoice before anything goes out.
How do I record a payment?
The quickest way is the Bank tab. When the money lands, I match it to the invoice and you confirm. If a customer paid you personally, tell me and it goes to the director's loan account instead.
What is the Bank tab for?
Every transaction from your business bank arrives there with a suggestion. Nothing touches the books until you confirm it. Clear the queue and your books match the bank.
How do I deal with a supplier bill?
Bills, then New, or send me a photo of it under Receipts and I read it. When you pay it, the bank item matches to the bill.
What do I do with receipts?
Snap them under Receipts. I read the amount, the date and the VAT, and link each one to the matching transaction so your accountant has the evidence.
What about VAT?
If you are VAT registered, switch it on under More and I track it on every line, show your position for the period and prepare the nine boxes. Whether to register, and which scheme, is one for your accountant.
Where do the tax figures come from?
From a set of dated rules with a named source, never from memory. Ask me a rate and I give you the figure, the source and when it was last checked. They are kept current after every Budget.
What does my accountant get?
Reports: profit and loss, balance sheet, trial balance, aged debtors and creditors, the director's loan statement, and CSV exports of everything. All from the same figures I use.
What does Ledger cost?
£1,760 once, or £880 now and £88 a month for ten months. Yours from day one, no subscription. An optional annual MOT, £176, keeps the tax rules current after every Budget.
