About us

Founded on a
returned phone call.

In 2012, Priya Chandran left a big firm because clients’ calls sat unreturned in a queue. Ledger was built around one rule: the person whose name is on your accounts answers your phone calls.

How we work

Small firm.
On purpose.

Eleven qualified accountants, around forty clients each. That ratio is the product — it’s what makes same-week replies, early filing and actually knowing your business possible. We grow by hiring, never by stretching.

  • ICAEW chartered, regulated and inspected
  • Every client file reviewed by a second accountant
  • No call centres, no ticket queues, no “your accountant has changed”
  • Deadline guarantee: late because of us = fee refunded
The record

Fourteen years, audited honestly.

2012

Founded

One accountant, a borrowed desk in the Royal Exchange, and a rule about phone calls.

412

Businesses

From market stalls to a £2m manufacturer — most arrived by word of mouth.

Every one on time. The deadline guarantee has never been paid out.

Accountants

All qualified or in final exams, all salaried, all answering their own phones.

What we believe

Three positions we’ll defend.

Tax is logistics, not magic

Good tax outcomes come from tidy books and early planning, not last-minute wizardry. Anyone promising magic is selling risk.

You should understand your accounts

Every set of accounts comes with a one-page plain-English summary. If you can’t explain your numbers to a friend, we haven’t finished the job.

Bad news travels first

A tax bill you knew about in July is a plan. The same bill discovered in January is a crisis. We always lead with the number.
