See it built,
step by step.
Tax season used to take my whole March. This year I sent one email and went riding.
They found $11,400 we had paid twice to the same supplier. Nobody else had noticed in three years.
I can read my own numbers now. I did not think that was going to happen for me.
Owners who stopped dreading April.
We had three years of receipts in a Nike shoebox. They took the box, gave it back empty and the books were done in eleven days.
Valentine's week is our whole year. They moved our payroll a day earlier so nobody was paid late during it. Small thing, big deal.
Monthly report is two pages. I read it with my coffee. When something looks off there is a note right next to it, in plain English.
Switched from a big firm. Same price, but now when I call, the person who picks up already knows my business.
Two locations, two sets of books, one very tired owner. Now it is one report and I know which shop is paying the rent.
They noticed flour went up 38% before I did. We changed suppliers in May and the margin came back.
Four things, done every month.
Bookkeeping
Payroll
Sales tax
Year-end package
Three clients, in their own words.
Our second shop looked busy, so I assumed it was fine. Ledgerline split the books by location and it turned out it had lost money for nine months straight. We cut hours on Mondays and Tuesdays and it has made a profit every month since.
I sell bikes in spring and repair them in winter, so the cash goes up and down like a roller coaster. They built me a simple 13-week cash plan. First winter in eight years I did not touch the credit line.
The double payments were the headline, but honestly the best part is the Monday email. Three lines: what came in, what went out, anything weird. My business partner reads it too, so we stopped arguing about money.
I have had four bookkeepers in twenty years. This is the first one that sends me a note before something goes wrong, not after.
They explained my profit and loss statement in twelve minutes on a Zoom call. My MBA took longer and did less.
Fast replies, the same person every time, and they never once made me feel stupid for asking.
Short ones, from the inbox.
Got the sales tax notice, forwarded it, never heard about it again. Perfect.
You are the only invoice I am happy to pay.
The loan officer said my books were the cleanest she had seen all quarter. Sending her your number.
Thank you for not using the word "synergy" even once in two years.
Report came on the 4th this month. Showing off now?
Local businesses, most of them on Main Street.
Ledgerline has kept our books since our first shop opened in 2019. Two locations, 31 people, zero late filings.
Wedding deposits come in a year early. They finally set up our books so that money does not look like profit.
Eight designers, forty clients, every invoice tracked to the project. I know which jobs actually pay.
They split wholesale and the counter into two lines. Turns out the café orders were carrying the whole place.
Three vans, a lot of fuel receipts, and somehow it is always right. Our CPA calls it boring. That is the point.
The people behind the numbers.
I started the studio in my spare room with one client. Six years later I had a team and no idea which projects were paying for it. Ledgerline tagged every hour and invoice to a job. Two of my favourite clients were losing us money. We raised their rates, they stayed, and I hired a ninth person.
My father ran this shop with a pencil and a ledger, and so did I until my knees and my eyes gave out. These folks were patient with an old man. Now my daughter reads the report on her phone and calls me when something looks funny. It almost never does.
Class passes, memberships, refunds, gift cards. Money comes in before the class happens and sometimes goes back out. Every other bookkeeper got it wrong. These guys set it up once, explained it in one call, and my profit and loss finally looks like my studio.
After our first tax season together
Refund came back in 19 days. Last year we owed, and I still do not know why.
The CPA sent zero follow-up questions. That has never happened in my life.
We found $6,200 in vehicle costs nobody had claimed. It paid for a year of Ledgerline.
Filed in February. I spent April at the shop instead of at my kitchen table.
Estimated payments set up in January, so no surprise bill. Wish I had done this ten years ago.
Bankers and lawyers send clients our way.
What our clients run
Wholesale to six cafés plus the counter. They track both, and I finally priced the wholesale bread properly. Up 14% on the same ovens.
Three vans, nineteen walkers, payroll every week. They have not been late once in two and a half years.
Inventory used to be a guess. Now the books match the stockroom, and the bank gave us a bigger line because of it.
Wedding deposits sit in their own account now. No more spending June's money in March.
What a year with us looks like.
Before, we found out how the month went when the bank balance told us. Now there is a three-line email every Monday and a two-page report on the 5th. We plan a quarter ahead, which sounded impossible a year ago.
Before, the busy shop and the quiet shop were the same pile of money. Now each one has its own profit and loss. We fixed the quiet one in three months and opened on Sundays at the busy one.
Before, we were busy and broke at the same time. Now every project has a number next to it, and we only say yes to the ones that make sense. Same team, 22% more profit.
Our team reviews us too.
Every client has a main person and a backup. Nobody here works through a vacation, and I mean nobody.
I get to fix real problems for people I can visit. Last week a client sent us a whole tray of croissants.
They paid for my QuickBooks certification and gave me two clients of my own in month three.
Switching takes about two weeks.

Your first report
Best phone call I made for the business.
Should have called them five years earlier.
Twenty minutes, and the price never changed.
