What LEXENDO LTD does

Lexendo Ltd is a UK private limited company headquartered in Northolt that sells a subscription tax risk intelligence platform to UK accounting and tax advisory practices. Its product runs 32 structured assessments across seven domains — Employment Tax, Construction Industry (CIS), Corporation Tax & Planning, Practice Compliance/AML, VAT, Personal Tax and Audit Intelligence — designed to surface compliance risks (P11D, IR35, MTD, AML/KYC, CIS, R&D, audit red flags) already present in a practice's client portfolio before HMRC investigates.

The platform combines an AI assistant ('Lex') backed by a curated knowledge base of 12,000+ verified UK legal and regulatory sources (198 HMRC guidance manuals, 810 Finance Act policy notes covering Budget 2017 to Budget 2025, 334 tribunal decisions, 514 binding precedents from the UK Supreme Court and Court of Appeal, and 10,079 statute provisions across 10 major UK tax acts) with vision-based PDF bank statement analysis ('LexScan') that maps transaction patterns to ISA 240, 315, 520, 550 and 570. Core infrastructure runs on Anthropic Claude for reasoning, Voyage AI for embeddings, Supabase for EU-region data and authentication, Stripe for billing and Vercel for hosting, with deterministic pre/post-processing, schema validation and an anti-injection system prompt layered on top.

Lexendo monetises through five tiers priced from £99/month (Focus) to £1,799/month (Enterprise), plus a fully managed service from £2,500/month billed via Stripe on monthly or annual contracts with a 30-day money-back guarantee. Distribution is direct (lexendo.co.uk), combining self-serve registration for lower tiers with contact-gated enterprise sales for Enterprise and Managed Service. The company is privately held, founded and run by Andreea Anca, who operates it as an independent venture affiliated with her AI consultancy Norvanta; no external funding, headcount or customer count has been disclosed.
