Your Accountant Handles Compliance.

We Handle Everything Else.

The operational spending, supplier contracts, and statutory entitlements that fall outside the scope of standard accountancy — that’s where recoverable capital hides.

Redundant Subscriptions

25–30% of recurring software spend goes to licences no one is actively using

Industry Benchmark Data

Contract & Tariff Waste

UK business energy debt hit £4.48bn in 2025 — incorrect tariffs, auto-renewals, and hidden margins are widespread

Miscalculated withholdings, misapplied rates, and missed relief windows cost UK employers thousands each year

HMRC, 2025

Unclaimed Statutory Reliefs

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our audit process and fee structure.

How does the contingency fee model work?

We only bill you after savings are confirmed. When a supplier issues a credit, a subscription is cancelled, or a tax relief is filed, we charge our contingency fee on the recovered amount. If our analysis identifies £0 in savings, you pay exactly £0.

What data access do you require?

We need read-only access to billing records — either via UK Open Banking (Plaid) or a filtered CSV upload. We never require write access to your bank, never see your passwords, and never store personal banking details. You can redact sensitive columns directly in your browser before uploading.

What does the Letter of Authority authorise?

The LoA grants us representation rights to file billing disputes and savings claims on your behalf. We can contact suppliers to resolve overcharges and liaise with your accountant on HMRC filings. We cannot execute financial transactions, access balances, or alter your operations.

How is my data handled after the audit?

Under UK GDPR data minimisation principles, uploaded files are processed in server memory only. Post-audit, memory buffers are overwritten with cryptographic random bytes. We retain only the anonymised Savings Manifest report — no raw financial data is stored.

What types of savings are typically identified?

Our audit covers a comprehensive range of operational and tax-related recovery areas. Common findings include unused software subscriptions, supplier billing errors, unclaimed HMRC reliefs, payroll overpayments, and contract inefficiencies across telecoms, energy, and insurance. The specific findings vary by sector and company size — the audit is tailored to your business.

Do I need to change my accountant or bank?

No. LedgerGuard works alongside your existing accountant and banking relationships. For HMRC tax reliefs, we provide structured file notes that your accountant can include in your CT600 filing or EPS return. We handle carrier disputes and SaaS cancellations directly under the Letter of Authority.

How long does the audit take?

The automated analysis typically completes in under 60 seconds. The full recovery process — including filing disputes with carriers and submitting seat cancellations — takes 5–10 business days depending on vendor response times.

What happens after the initial 90-day engagement?

After 90 days, accounts may transition to a hybrid retainer model (subject to mutual agreement) that includes ongoing monitoring for new billing anomalies, quarterly re-audits, and continuous HMRC relief identification as your business expenditure evolves.
