Features
Everything an enterprise finance team expects.
Absolute Ledger is engineered around the non-negotiables of professional accounting: integrity, auditability, and compliance — without sacrificing the speed of modern software.
Multi-entity architecture
Limited companies, sole traders, partnerships, LLPs, charities, education, government — all under one tenant with strict isolation.
Multi-currency accounting
Original currency and base-currency conversion stored on every line. Daily FX rates, automatic revaluation.
Real-time double-entry
Debits = credits enforced at the database level. The trial balance always agrees by construction.
Immutable audit trail
Every financial transaction logged with who, when, what, and before/after snapshots. Posted journals can never be edited.
HMRC MTD-ready
Architecture aligned with Making Tax Digital. VAT, PAYE, Self Assessment, and Corporation Tax workflows.
Role-based access
Owner, admin, accountant, bookkeeper, viewer roles per tenant. Entity-level permissions for accounting firms.
Posting workflow
Draft → review → post. Posted entries are immutable. Corrections happen via contra-journals, never destructive edits.
Hierarchical chart of accounts
UK-standard CoA seeded per entity. Parent/child grouping, custom accounts, multi-currency accounts.
VAT-aware (coming)
Box-by-box VAT return preparation, MTD submission, partial exemption support, reverse charge handling.
Live dashboards
Cash position, P&L MTD, debtors and creditors — all derived from posted journals in real time.
API-first design
Every operation goes through a versioned API. Build integrations, embed in workflows, automate at scale.
Companies House (coming)
Pull official entity data and file annual accounts directly from the platform.
