Lean Ledger
00 / Pricing
Lean Ledger prices work around scope, responsibility and the condition of your records, not around vague packages that hide the real work. A founder with clean cloud bookkeeping, one company and predictable filing dates needs a different level of support from a group with payroll, VAT, old records and urgent deadlines.
The figures below are planning ranges for UK founders and growing limited companies. They help you decide whether the likely investment is sensible before booking a discovery call. They are not fixed quotes, retainers, or a complete list of every possible service. A written proposal confirms scope, responsibilities, timelines and price before any paid work starts.

The main drivers are transaction volume, number of entities, payroll headcount, VAT complexity, bookkeeping quality, software setup, filing deadlines, and whether you need advisory support alongside compliance. Clean records usually mean lower fees because the work is easier to review, explain and file.
Pricing also changes when the accountant is expected to take more responsibility. A once-a-year compliance job is different from monthly management accounts, cash flow planning, board-level conversations, software cleanup or hands-on workflow design. If the work affects decisions, tax risk, funding, hiring or reporting rhythm, the scope needs to reflect that.
Clean cloud records and regular bookkeeping keep the work predictable, because there is less cleanup before accounts, tax returns or VAT reviews can begin.
Late deadlines, missing records, multiple companies, payroll, VAT, overseas trading or director loan account issues increase scope because they require more review and judgement.
Advisory work is priced around cadence, depth and responsibility. Monthly management accounts, cash flow planning and finance-system design are different from annual compliance.
You receive a written proposal before work starts, so the scope, responsibilities, timings and price are clear before Lean Ledger begins paid work.
03 / Quote
The fastest way to get a useful price is to share your current setup and what feels painful.
Send a few details about your company, current software, filing deadlines, VAT or payroll position, and what feels messy or unclear. I will use that to decide whether Lean Ledger is a good fit and, if it is, come back with a clear scope and price before work begins.
