Receipts, bills, bank and card statements. Photos from your phone are fine. Upload them or forward the email.
We sort every transaction, reconcile your accounts and run the same checklist every single month.
A profit and loss you can read in two minutes, and an accountant you can call about it.
# Services #
Pick one or all three. Most owners start with bookkeeping and add tax once the books are clean.
Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, every month closed. You get a short report and the books stay ready for tax season.
Federal and state business returns, plus your quarterly estimated payments tracked on the calendar so they're paid before they're late.
Cash-flow forecasts, hiring and pricing questions, and a monthly call to talk through what the numbers are telling you.
# Why #
You started a business to make things, fix things and feed people. Not to sort receipts at midnight or guess what you owe in April. Hand us the paperwork. You'll get the same clear numbers every month, and a person who can tell you what they mean.
# A note from the founder #
I started Ledger Line after years of watching good owners lose their Sundays to bookkeeping. You send what you have. We do the rest. And you can always call the person who did your books.
