About Lavender Ledger
About Lavender Ledger
Lavender Ledger was created to support pub and hospitality owners who want their bookkeeping handled calmly, clearly, and without judgement.
Running a pub is demanding. Long hours, tight margins, staffing pressures, and the day-to-day reality of hospitality life often mean bookkeeping gets pushed to the bottom of the list - until it becomes a source of stress.
That’s where I come in.

A little about me
Hi, I’m Davina, the bookkeeper behind Lavender Ledger.
I work with pub owners who want a supportive, approachable bookkeeper they can trust - someone who understands that hospitality doesn’t run on a 9-5 schedule and that no two pubs are quite the same.
I’m known for being calm, thorough, and easy to talk to. There’s no judgement if things feel messy or behind - my job is simply to help you get back on track and keep things running smoothly.
