LedgerLite SG LedgerLite SG Cloud accounting for sole traders
A shophouse back-office desk at eight in the morning: a ruled ledger sheet, a pen across the fold, and a cup of kopi under one raking lamp.

About the desk behind the ledger

Your morning ledger, ruled and stamped.

Who builds LedgerLite and why

One book, kept properly, for one person — the Singapore sole trader who does their own records and wants them to hold up at period end.

The gap we build for

The problem we chose

Sole proprietors in Singapore sit in an awkward gap. A spreadsheet is cheap and works fine for the first month, then falls apart as soon as documents, matching and retention enter the picture. Full accounting platforms do all of that capably, but they are priced and shaped for businesses with staff, stock and a finance lead.

LedgerLite SG is built for the middle of that gap: the freelancer, contractor, tutor, hawker and service provider who needs records that stand up at period end — not a suite that assumes a team will operate it.

The scope decision

Why the focus stays narrow

Every feature request we decline is a decision to keep the weekly routine short. Payroll, purchase orders and multi-currency consolidation are real needs for other businesses. For a one-person book they become screens that push income and expense entry further from the top of the app.

In the book

What belongs in a one-person ledger

  • Income entries with a date, an amount and a client.
  • Expenses kept as they happen, with the receipt attached.
  • Bank and transfer records, so the total can be tied back.
  • Your UEN and registered business name on every statement.

Deliberately out

The screens we do not ship

  • Payroll runs and payslip documents for employees.
  • Purchase orders and supplier approval chains.
  • Multi-currency consolidation across group entities.
  • An accountant marketplace or a directory of tax agents.

Four categories, one book.

On the guide pages

How we write about IRAS requirements

The guidance pages summarise the record-keeping position for self-employed people, sole proprietors, hawkers and online sellers, and they stay inside what those sources say. Where a threshold or a form changes, we point at the source rather than paraphrase from memory.

Read our record-keeping guide
What the guides cover
What a self-employed person in Singapore is expected to keep, how long records generally run, and how a two-line or four-line statement of accounts is put together.
What they do not do
They do not give tax advice for a specific situation, they do not file anything on your behalf, and they are not a substitute for an accountant or tax agent.
How they change
When a rule shifts, the page is rewritten and dated. If a paragraph cannot be traced back to the published source, we would rather cut it than keep a maybe.
Support behind it
Questions that turn out to be useful get written into the guide pages, so the next person reading them does not have to ask the same thing.

Your identifier, your book

Entity details and what we keep in the book

Your UEN and registered business name sit at the top of your ledger, because invoicing, banking records and compliance setup all refer back to them. Getting that identifier right in the book is a basic expectation for any Singapore business tool, and it is the first thing we ask for at sign-up.

We ask for nothing beyond that. The book exists to hold your income, expenses, supporting documents and the entity line they belong to — not a profile, not a marketing list.

Same reasoning as your ledger

This site carries our legal name and our UEN for exactly the reason your ledger carries yours: a business record should say who it belongs to.

Registered office: 18 Robinson Road, #05-01, Singapore 048547. Written enquiries reach a person on Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 6:00 PM (SGT).

A person, not a script

How the product is supported

Support is a real person reading a message, not a scripted bot. Questions about setup, categories or the two-line and four-line statements get answered directly, and answers that turn out to be useful are written back into the guide pages.

If something is outside what LedgerLite does, you will hear that plainly instead of a workaround that costs you a weekend.

Where the line sits

What we will not do

We will not sell your records, and we will not present ourselves as an IRAS or ACRA service. LedgerLite is software that keeps a business's books.

  1. 01 We do not submit returns. Lodging is done by you or by the tax agent you choose — the book only keeps the numbers those filings are built from.
  2. 02 We are not a tax agent and we do not sign off on your accounts. Any position you take is yours, with your adviser if you keep one.
  3. 03 We are not a bank and we do not hold or move your money. Bank and transfer records are referenced in the book, not routed through it.
  4. 04 We do not sell your records, and we do not rent access to the book to anyone else. What you enter stays in your workspace.

The next step

Start with the routine, not the plan

The weekly habit — enter the income, file the receipt, match the bank line — is the part that carries a sole trader through period end. Everything else on this site exists to make that part short.
