A small firm built for small businesses
Ledgerwell was started in 2019 by two accountants who were tired of watching freelancers pay too much for too little. Today a team of six looks after around 400 clients, all of them online.
We think an accountant should be someone you can actually reach, who tells you what you owe before it is due.
Every client has a named accountant, a fixed monthly fee and a dashboard that shows the real numbers. No hourly billing, no surprise invoice at year-end, and no call centre between you and the person doing the work.

Five services, one monthly fee
Everything below is included in a plan or added at a fixed price. Nothing is
billed by the hour, and the first call is free.
Bookkeeping
Bank feeds reconciled, receipts matched and the month closed by the 10th. You get a one-page summary and we get the questions out of the way early.
Year-end accounts
Statutory accounts prepared from books we already know, explained in plain English and filed with time to spare.
Tax returns
Self-assessment, company tax and sales tax returns prepared early and checked with you before anything is filed. No January panic.
Payroll
Payslips, pension contributions and every submission handled each pay run. Approve on your phone and it is done.
Advisory
How much to pay yourself, when to register for sales tax, whether to incorporate. Straight answers from someone who knows your numbers.

Six accountants and no account managers in between. The person who does your

What our clients say
Freelancers and small companies who moved their accounts to Ledgerwell, in their own words.
I used to do my own books on a Sunday night and dread January. Ledgerwell closed my first month within a week of signing up, and my tax return was filed in October. I have not opened a spreadsheet since.
Maya Ellis
Freelance designer
Our old accountant billed by the hour, so we stopped asking questions. With Ledgerwell the fee is fixed and the answers come back the same day. That alone has saved us money.
Tom Vidal
Director, Corwell Joinery
The monthly summary is the thing. What came in, what went out, what to set aside. I finally know what the company can afford to pay me.
Priya Raman
Founder, Brightwater Studio
Switching was the part I was worried about. Ledgerwell wrote to my previous accountant, collected the records and had everything moved across in eight days. I did almost nothing.
Daniel Okoro
IT contractor
Payroll for four staff used to eat an afternoon every month. Now I approve the payslips on my phone and it is done. The team knows our business and it shows.
