We founded Ledger & Co in 2010 with one goal: to give small businesses access to the kind of professional, proactive accounting that only large firms used to receive.
Over 14 years, we've helped more than 200 businesses across Manchester — from sole traders just starting out to established limited companies with growing teams. We're ICAEW chartered, straightforward, and genuinely invested in the success of every client we work with.
Rachel Webb ACA spent the first decade of her career at larger practices across the North West. She was good at the work — but frustrated by how many small business owners were underserved. They couldn't afford a big firm, so they muddled through alone, paid too much tax, or got caught out by HMRC deadlines.
In 2010, Rachel set up Ledger & Co from a small office in Manchester city centre. The premise was simple: bring the quality of a chartered accountant to the small businesses that needed it most, at a price that made sense.
Today, the practice has grown to a team of seven — all qualified, all local, and all committed to the same principle that started everything. Clear advice, honest pricing, and a relationship built on trust.
A small, dedicated team — each member qualified, experienced, and genuinely interested in helping your business thrive.
ICAEW chartered accountant with over 20 years' experience. Rachel oversees all client relationships and leads on business tax planning and company formation.
James manages bookkeeping and management accounts for our growing client base. He's a Xero-certified advisor and our go-to for cloud accounting queries.
Amara handles payroll and VAT for clients across multiple industries. She's particularly experienced in Making Tax Digital compliance and auto-enrolment.
We hold ourselves to a clear set of principles. This is what working with Ledger & Co looks like in practice.
Everything we produce — reports, advice, correspondence with HMRC — is explained in plain English. You'll never be left wondering what something means.
We don't wait for you to chase us. We reach out ahead of deadlines, flag issues early, and keep you informed throughout the year — not just at tax time.
No two clients are the same. We take the time to understand your business, your goals, and your circumstances before making any recommendations.
You'll know exactly what you're paying and what you're getting. No surprises, no hidden extras — just a clear monthly fee that covers what we've agreed.
Our team are ICAEW chartered and AAT qualified. We keep up with every HMRC change and legislative update so you don't have to worry about compliance.
You'll have a dedicated accountant who knows your file. No call centres, no being bounced between departments — just one person you can rely on.
