Hello from FoundersLedger

When you run a UK limited company, the paperwork never really stops. There's the director's loan account to keep straight, dividends to declare properly, and the statutory registers that Companies House can ask for at any moment. Most accounting software is built for accountants first, which leaves the director juggling spreadsheets on the side.

We built FoundersLedger to close that gap. It keeps your books and your statutory records in one calm place, so year end never sneaks up on you.

What's different

• Director's loan account with a running balance and a clean year-end position.

• Dividends declared with the vouchers and paper trail HMRC expects.

• Statutory registers for officers, shareholders and PSCs, kept current.

• Double-entry bookkeeping under the hood, with a live corporation tax estimate.

A quick example

Here's the kind of entry you'll see when you record a personal expense paid from company funds:

2026-07-03  Personal expense – travel   −£140.00   DLA balance: £1,860.00

No manual spreadsheet, no end-of-year scramble to reconstruct what the balance actually was.
