Bookkeeping FAQ
Everything businesses ask us about bookkeeping costs, software, sign-off and getting started. Still unsure? Ask us directly.
We provide bookkeeping services for small and growing businesses. Our AI assistant VERA collects, codes and reconciles your transactions every day, and a named ICB-certified bookkeeper reviews and signs off your books every month.
A named, qualified bookkeeper on our team. SignedLedger is certified and licensed by The Institute of Certified Bookkeepers (ICB), licence no. 25211, so the person who signs off is accountable to professional standards.
VERA, our Verified Entry & Reconciliation Agent, is the AI assistant that prepares the work: reading documents, coding transactions and matching your bank. It asks a person whenever it is unsure and never guesses.

The software automates bank feeds and suggestions, but someone still has to code transactions correctly, investigate differences, post month-end journals and check the balances. That is the work we do, so your reports are accurate and ready for your accountant.
Your books stay in your own accounting file, under your own subscription. You decide what access we have and can remove it at any time, and every action taken by VERA or your bookkeeper is logged.
It depends on your transaction volume, the number of accounts and how complex your business is. Our Starter plan is a fixed £130, €130 or $130 a month for up to 80 transactions and one bank account. Larger businesses get a fixed monthly quote based on their last three months of bank statements.
