Not your typical accountant

Most accountants process your numbers. I design the systems that make your numbers work for you, then handle the compliance too.

ACCA-qualified with senior practice experience, and I build the automation myself. Most firms bolt technology on at the end; here it shapes how the work runs.

Compliance handled, not chased

Accounts, tax, VAT and Companies House filings run to a visible schedule, so deadlines stop being something you react to.

Plain answers, no Jargon

Direct explanations of what your numbers mean and what to do next - not PDF in March and silence until next year.

Luke Raczynski · ACCA · Founder, Lean Ledger

Built for founders who think ahead

You might be sole trading, running a limited company, or somewhere in between. If you want structure, not just spreadsheets, we'll get on well.

01

Just starting out

Moving from employment into self-employment, or setting up your first limited company, and you want the foundations right before habits set in.

02

Established but fragmented

Trading for a while, but finances are spread across tools, reactive, and taking up more mental space than they should.

03

Consultants & small teams

Independent consultants and small UK teams who want finance handled properly, without the overhead of a big-firm relationship.
