About
Built for the UK's smallest businesses — where compliance pressure is highest and finance support is thinnest.
Around 5.3 million UK businesses have between 0 and 9 employees. Most have no in-house finance function. LedgerAssure AI exists to bring bookkeeping, Making Tax Digital compliance, evidence and assurance together into one connected, evidence-based system — capture financial information once, and continuously turn it into compliant, evidence-backed financial information.
The problem
- Manage bookkeeping and compliance manually — slow, stressful and error-prone.
- Or pay for multiple disconnected accounting, bookkeeping, tax, audit-readiness and sustainability tools.
- Separate systems mean data is manually entered, reconciled and moved between tools.
Why LedgerAssure AI
Traditional bookkeeping tools are built around record → report. LedgerAssure AI is designed around capture → categorise → check → evidence → prepare → assure → report, so potential issues can be identified before filing rather than after.
Designed for tradespeople, self-employed consultants, small retailers and owner-managed service businesses — people who may not have accounting expertise.

Platform
Powered by the Unified Evidence Ledger
A single, versioned data structure that connects the source record to the financial data, the categorisation, the compliance checks, the control results and the reported figures — so figures can be traced back to the evidence behind them.

Bank data, accounting software, invoices, receipts
AI-assisted categorisation
Off-the-shelf LLM with confidence scoring

How it works
Capture once. Keep it compliant, checked and evidence-backed.
Eight connected steps, designed to be understandable without accounting expertise.
- 1
Connect
Connect business financial sources, including bank information through planned Open Banking integrations with FCA-authorised providers, and accounting software where applicable.
- 2
Capture
Capture invoices and receipts through document upload and capture, with OCR-assisted processing to normalise the information.
- 3
Categorise
An off-the-shelf large language model assists with transaction categorisation and assigns a confidence level. Low-confidence classifications are routed to you for confirmation.
- 4
Check
A version-controlled rules engine checks the data against relevant VAT, Making Tax Digital and Income Tax requirements, designed to identify misclassification, duplicates, missing VAT treatment and other inconsistencies.
- 5
Link the evidence
Transaction + source document + categorisation + compliance result are connected through the Unified Evidence Ledger.
- 6
Prepare
The system prepares filing-ready financial information. LedgerAssure AI does not autonomously submit statutory tax returns — the business owner and/or accountant reviews and approves before submission.
- 7
Assure
For customers using the Assurance layer, the same evidence supports continuous control checks and a live assurance status.
- 8
Extend to ESG
Where required, the same underlying evidence can support ESG and carbon reporting instead of a separate data collection process.
Human approval before statutory filing. LedgerAssure AI prepares filing-ready information — the business owner and/or accountant must review and approve the filing before submission.
