About Us
Ledger Domain Ltd was established April 2005, and incorporated the activities of Aegistics, which had traded since 2000.
Managing Director, Nigel Hargreaves, has managed companies mainly connected with the motor trade for over 30 years. In 2000, he decided to concentrate on the bookkeeping aspects of business management after selling his shareholding in his London Company. He now lives and works in Poole.
At Ledger Domain, we value traditional double entry bookkeeping, but embrace modern technology. We have state-of-the-art computer systems and internet communications, and our software is upgraded on a regular basis.
Ledger Domain Services
We offer electronic bookkeeping services for sole traders and small companies. We can use either Sage or QuickBooks, and are fully conversant with Microsoft Excel.
We offer a Company Secretarial facility for Limited Companies.
The requirement for a separate Company Secretary has been removed in the Companies Act 2006, but in most cases it is advisable to have one, and if there is not to be one this must be reflected in the Memorandum and Articles of Association.
We can prepare VAT Returns and submit to HMRC either in paper form or Online.
For businesses who prefer to do their own bookkeeping, we offer support services for QuickBooks and Sage.
How we operate
We can work either on your premises or ours. Normally, we prefer to collect original documents from our clients and work at our offices, but for larger companies with their own computers, we can supply a data entry clerk for a fixed number of hours daily or weekly.
If completing client’s work at our offices we provide management accounts on a monthly basis. These are in easy-to-understand format, and we can supply them on an accrual or cash-flow basis or both.
For some clients, we are signatories to their bank accounts, and can then access their accounts online on a daily basis in order to provide balance statements showing the position with all funds cleared (ledger balance).
We can even offer the facility to draw cheques or make online payments to creditors from clients’ bank accounts so that it is as good as having an internal accounts department, and clients can be sure that payments are made on time and (or) when funds are available. We provide the highest level of security for this facility.
Similarly, we can keep track of debtors to ensure that our clients are paid in good time, and chase tardy payers. Clients are kept updated regularly as to debtor and creditor positions.
For clients looking to expand, we have access to various forward funding providers, and can draw up the necessary business plans and projections that are usually sought by lenders. We are adept at negotiating with banks.
