Ledgers does the work your firm writes off — categorising, reconciling, VAT, the FRS-102 adjustments, year-end and Corporation Tax — so your hours go to advisory, not catch-up. Your clients' books arrive clean and live. You open any of them in one click, review the figures, and sign off. One platform, your whole portfolio.
It's the work you can't bill properly, can't hire fast enough for, and can't get clients to help with. Every new client needs more junior hours — so your book is capped by headcount you can't scale. And it's the gate you must clear before the work you actually get paid for.
Juniors burn hours categorising and reconciling at a rate you can't charge for. It's the lowest-margin work in the building — and the hardest to scale.
The year-end is a month of emails: “can you send the bank statements, the contracts, that one invoice?” You're the bottleneck for work that isn't yours.
Clients hand you a Xero file six months behind. You re-key, you reclassify, you reconcile — before you can even start the accounts you're actually paid for.
One owner-managed Ltd, year end 31 December. Before Ledgers, and after. Same client, same firm — different week.
Your clients run on Ledgers. So do you — on the same live ledger, with the controls a firm needs. No export, no re-keying, no year-end archaeology.
Categorised, reconciled and continuously closed by the time you look. You start from a correct trial balance, not a shoebox.
From your portfolio, step straight into a client's live books — read-only or hands-on, governed by your role. No password handovers.
Ask a question or request a document and it lands in the client's inbox. They answer and upload without leaving their books. No more chase emails.
VAT, Corporation Tax, accounts and confirmation statements computed across your whole portfolio — what's due, for whom, and when.
Review the period, sign it off, and it's locked with your name and the evidence behind it. A clean audit trail you'd be happy to defend.
Partners, managers, juniors and outsourced staff each see only the clients and data they should. Scoped access, enforced — not a spreadsheet of who-can-see-what.
FRS-102 adjustments, capital allowances, the statutory accounts pack and CT600 iXBRL — prepared by the engine, for you to review and finalise.
Trace any number back to the transaction, document and reason behind it. Review the edges; trust the middle. Nothing is a black box.
You stay the trusted advisor of record. Ledgers is the engine room — your clients' year-end, tax and advice still run through you.
Every posting Ledgers makes shows its work: the category it chose, the reasoning, the source document, and the rule it learned from your past corrections. Low-confidence items are flagged to you, never hidden. You review the edges and trust the middle — and when something's wrong, you correct it once and it learns.
No offshore team, no “trust us.” Just a ledger that can defend every number in it — the audit trail you'd want to stand behind.
The bookkeeping is the commodity. The judgement is you. When the categorising, reconciling and chasing stop eating your week, the same team can carry more clients — and the hours you do bill move up the value chain to planning, structuring and advice.

| Chasing records | You, by email | In-app, automatic |
| Year-end clean-up | Days, every January | Books already live |
| FRS-102 & CT prep | Manual schedules | Prepared, you review |
| Advisory & planning | Whatever's left | The job |
Drag the sliders to match your practice. This is the fee-earner time Ledgers hands back — and what it's worth.
Assumes Ledgers automates ~85% of routine categorising, reconciling and chasing — the rest you review. Drag to match your own book.
Illustrative, based on your inputs — not a quote. Actual results depend on client mix and how much you automate vs review.
Bring the clients you already have, or invite new ones. Either way, consent is explicit and the wall is enforced from day one.
They connect a bank and consent to your firm. One active firm per client — clean, auditable permission, not a shared password.
Migrate from Xero, QuickBooks or a trial balance. The agents categorise and reconcile the history; you map the chart of accounts once.
From then on the books stay live. You assign clients to your team, watch the deadlines, raise queries, and sign off — all from one console.
Bring your messiest client to the walkthrough. We'll migrate it from Xero or QuickBooks on the call, in front of you, and you'll watch the books come out reconciled. If it's not clean, we keep working until it is — before you commit a single other client.
Map the chart of accounts once; the agents handle the history. Most firms are running a live client the same week.
We're onboarding a small group of UK practices hands-on, directly with the founder — your feedback shapes the roadmap, and your firm is set up properly from day one.
Apply for a place →It converts your lowest-margin hours into capacity, not lost revenue. The bookkeeping line was already the work you write off and can't scale. Firms keep the client and re-price toward advisory — where the margin and the relationship actually live. You bill for judgement, not data entry.
You do — always. One active firm per client, explicit consent, your brand on the engagement. We never sell your client a year-end or step between you. Ledgers is the engine room; you're the advisor of record.
Yes. The engine keeps books MTD-ready, prepares FRS-102 adjustments, the statutory accounts pack and CT600 iXBRL — and you review and finalise. Every figure traces to its source, so the file you submit is one you can defend.
It flags low-confidence items to you instead of guessing silently, and nothing is hidden — every posting shows its reasoning and source. You correct it once, and it learns the rule for next time. You sign off the period; it's locked with your name and the evidence behind it.
They won't. Partners, managers, juniors and outsourced staff each get scoped, enforced access — only the clients and data they should see, with PII redaction where it's needed. It's a real Chinese wall, not a spreadsheet of who-can-see-what.
Pricing is per client by transaction volume, so it scales with the book — not a flat per-seat tax. Start free, bring a client, and see the economics on your own numbers before you roll out the portfolio.See pricing →
