What we do

Everything a small business
needs counted.

One practice, one fixed fee, one person who knows your business and answers your emails.

Year-end accounts

Statutory accounts and corporation tax, prepared early enough to actually plan around.

From £79/mo

Self-assessment

Personal tax returns for directors, sole traders and landlords — filed weeks before the deadline, not hours.

From £165/yr

Bookkeeping

Receipts in, tidy books out. Xero or FreeAgent, reconciled monthly, so the numbers are always current.

From £49/mo

VAT returns

Registration, quarterly returns and Making Tax Digital compliance — without the quarterly panic.

From £35/mo

Payroll & pensions

Payslips, RTI submissions, auto-enrolment and P60s for teams of one to fifty. Runs itself, every month.

From £6/employee

Advice that arrives early

Quarterly reviews, dividend planning and a heads-up before deadlines — not an invoice after them.

Why Ledger

Accountants who
answer the phone.

Most people don’t leave their accountant over fees. They leave over silence. Every Ledger client has a named accountant, a guaranteed same-week reply, and a January that feels like any other month.

  • Named accountant — the same person, every time
  • Fixed monthly fees, agreed in writing
  • Deadline guarantee: we file on time or the fee’s on us
  • Plain-English explanations, by policy
Client notes

In their words.

“They found £4,200 in allowable expenses my old accountant never asked about. Paid for themselves three times over in year one.”

Dami A.Café owner · Chorlton

Kirsty M.Freelance designer · Ancoats
★★★★★

“Emails answered same day, VAT never late, and the quarterly review genuinely changed how we price jobs.”
