Accounting built around how freelancers actually work
Freelancing is brilliant until the admin piles up. Between winning work and delivering it, the last thing you want is an evening lost to invoices, receipts and a spreadsheet that never quite balances. LedgerlyPro is accounting software designed for exactly that reality: it does the boring parts automatically so your books stay current with a few minutes a week.
Income flows in from your invoices and bank feed. Expenses are captured the moment you photograph a receipt. The AI categorises everything against UK tax rules, and your profit and tax estimate update in real time. When a client pays late, LedgerlyPro drafts the chase email so you don't have to find the words.
Get paid faster
Cash flow is the freelancer's lifeblood, and the fastest way to improve it is to remove friction from getting paid. LedgerlyPro attaches a one-click Stripe payment link to every invoice, so clients can pay by card or bank in seconds rather than digging out your account details.
- Branded, professional invoices that build trust
- One-click card and bank payment via Stripe
- Automatic reminders before and after the due date
- AI-drafted chase emails that stay polite
- Recurring invoices for retainer clients
Send your first invoice with a payment link in under a minute.
Stay tax-ready all year
As a freelancer you'll file a Self-Assessment each year, and if your income is high enough you'll also fall under Making Tax Digital for Income Tax. LedgerlyPro keeps you ready for both by maintaining digital records and a running estimate of what you owe.
Knowing your tax number in real time changes how you run your business: you can set aside the right amount from every payment, plan around the 31 January and 31 July deadlines, and avoid the classic first-year cash-flow shock of payments on account.
