Objectives

Why The Ledger exists

Built to give small businesses the same financial rigor as enterprise systems — without the complexity or cost.

Financial Integrity

Enforce strict double-entry rules with balanced journals, period locks, and reversing entries — so your books are always audit-ready.

Access Anywhere

Cloud-backed storage means your financial data syncs across devices and teams, with role-based access for accountants and owners.

Privacy First

Your data is isolated by company and protected with per-user permissions. Only authorised people see what they should.

Features

Everything you need to manage your books

From day-to-day journal entries to period-end reporting — all modules work together seamlessly.

Real Estate Portfolio

Track properties, units, and leases with rent roll, vacancy analysis, tenant arrears, and per-property expense reports.

Trade & Point of Sale

Quick Sale kiosk, sales invoices, purchase bills, FIFO/weighted-average inventory, and gross-profit reporting.

Projects & Services

Manage client projects, contract values, and billing for consulting and service businesses — no inventory required.

School Management

Enroll students, generate annual tuition and transport fees, and monitor capacity and revenue on the school dashboard.

Journal Entries

Create balanced double-entry journals with quick presets, VAT handling, and AI-assisted bookkeeping.

Payroll & Staff Costs

Run monthly payroll with automatic tax and pension deductions, and track salary payouts across teaching and admin staff.

Fixed Assets

Track asset cost, depreciation, and disposal with straight-line or reducing-balance methods and capitalisation entries.

VAT & Compliance

Generate VAT returns from your ledger, file settlements with automatic clearing entries, and keep periods locked.

Financial Reports

Trial balance, profit & loss, balance sheet, and general ledger with drill-down — all updated in real time.

Principles

Built on trust and precision

Every transaction follows strict double-entry principles. Your data is yours — and it stays yours.

Balanced by Design

Every entry is validated against the double-entry rule — debits must equal credits, every time.

Period Protection

Lock closed periods and filed VAT returns so historical data can never be accidentally modified.

Role-Based Access

Accountants get full access to post and adjust; managers get read-only visibility into reports.
