Bookkeeping that scales

Bank feeds, invoices, expenses, manual journals, multi-currency. Full chart of accounts editable to your business model. Period locking once accounts are signed off.

MTD VAT submitted to HMRC

Quarterly VAT calculated from your real transactions. Standard, cash, flat-rate, annual and margin schemes supported. Submit in one click.

Payroll with RTI for directors and staff

Up to 5 employees on the £10 plan. PAYE, NIC, pension auto-enrolment, P60s and P11Ds. FPS submitted to HMRC every pay run.

Dividends and shareholders

Record interim and final dividends per shareholder, generate dividend vouchers, and tie the figures to the director's SA100 if needed.

Director loan account tracking

Drawings, loans and repayments tracked per director. AccLedger calculates s455 close-company loan tax on outstanding balances at year end.

CT600 corporation tax filed to HMRC

Capital allowances, marginal relief, R&D, s455, trading losses brought forward. iXBRL accounts and computations bundled with the CT600 submission.

Built for the way limited companies actually run

A typical UK limited company has a director on payroll, takes dividends, pays corporation tax, files VAT quarterly, and might have inventory or Shopify orders. AccLedger handles all of that — without you stitching together five different apps.

  • Director payroll with low-salary, high-dividend pattern fully supported
  • Dividend vouchers per declaration with shareholder records
  • PAYE/NI control account, dividend control, director loan account — all reconciled
  • Corporation tax accrued through the year so you always know what's owed

Year-end and CT600, without the spreadsheet panic

When the period closes, AccLedger walks you through the year-end checklist: depreciation, accruals, prepayments, fixed asset movements. Then it pulls the trial balance into the CT600 workings — adjustments, allowances, reliefs — and submits the whole package.

  • Year-end checklist surfaces every adjustment that needs attention
  • iXBRL-tagged statutory accounts (FRS 105 / FRS 102 1A)
  • iXBRL-tagged tax computation showing the profit-to-tax workings
  • CT600 + accounts + computations submitted as one package to HMRC

Plug into Shopify, SAP and your bank

Connect Shopify and every order becomes a VAT-compliant invoice automatically. Connect SAP for VAT figures from an existing ERP. Connect your bank via open banking for live transaction feeds. AccLedger is the centre of gravity, not another silo.

  • Shopify integration with real-time order, refund and payout sync
  • SAP VAT integration for businesses on ECC, S/4HANA or Business One
  • Open banking via GoCardless for major UK banks
  • Stripe webhook integration for subscription businesses

Multi-company support for groups and accountancy firms

If you run multiple limited companies — a holdco and several trading subs, or a portfolio of small businesses — AccLedger keeps each company's books separate but accessible from one login.

  • Switch between companies without logging out
  • Per-company VAT registration and CT600
  • Group structures with associated companies factored into marginal relief
  • Accountancy firm partner programme for managing many clients

Frequently asked questions

How much does AccLedger cost for a limited company?
The Limited Company plan is £10 per month or £100 per year (two months free). It includes MTD VAT, MTD ITSA, payroll for up to 5 employees, automated bank feeds, real-time dashboards, multi-currency, and an invite for your accountant.
Can I file my CT600 directly from AccLedger?
Yes. AccLedger is HMRC-recognised CT software. It generates the iXBRL-tagged accounts and tax computation alongside the CT600 form and submits the package to HMRC through the official endpoint.
Does it handle director payroll with the low-salary, high-dividend pattern?
Yes. Pay yourself a salary up to the secondary threshold to keep employer NI low, take the rest as dividends, and AccLedger keeps both records — with payslips, P60, dividend vouchers, and CT600 dividend disclosure.
What about close company loan tax (s455)?
AccLedger reads your director loan account balance at year end and calculates the s455 charge at 33.75%, posting it to Box 505 of the CT600. When the loan is repaid (within 9 months and a day for relief), the reversal is handled.
Can my accountant manage multiple of my companies?
Yes. Accountancy firms can use the partner programme to manage many client limited companies from one dashboard. Per-client billing, dedicated account manager, and a multi-client view of upcoming deadlines.
What if I run a Shopify store through my limited company?
Connect Shopify in two minutes and every order becomes a VAT-compliant invoice in AccLedger automatically. Inventory updates, payouts reconcile against the bank, EU VAT OSS is generated for you. See the Shopify accounting page for the full deep-dive.
Can I run payroll for more than 5 employees?
Yes — get in touch for a per-employee quote above the £10/month plan ceiling. Larger headcounts continue to use the same RTI submission flow and journal automation.
How is corporation tax calculated through the year?
AccLedger accrues an estimated CT charge each period based on your live profit-and-loss, applying the small profits rate, marginal relief, and the standard adjustments. You always know roughly what you owe — the CT600 at year end is just the formal version of the same workings.
