Why owners switch

Three things every $500K+ owner stops tolerating.

01

Books that are always 60 days behind

Part-time admins and software-only services show you last quarter, not this month. By the time you spot a margin slip, the decision window has already closed.

02

Generic, software-only answers when you need a real human

Low-cost platforms work until a state notice lands or an investor asks for a clean P&L. You need someone who knows your business, not an automated chat bot.

03

A patchwork of vendors and no one owning the financials

A bookkeeper here, a tax preparer there, a payroll service somewhere else. Nothing reconciles, nothing rolls up. One team, one workflow, one phone number fixes it.

How it works

From first call to clean books in four steps.

Same playbook for every client, refined across 5,100+ active engagements.

  1. 01
    Step 1

    DISCOVER

    A 30-minute consultation with our team. We talk through your industry, your stack, and your pain points. No pitch deck, no obligation. You leave with a clear read on whether we are the right fit.

  2. 02
    Step 2

    PROPOSE

    We follow up to scope your engagement and share a flat monthly fee based on real transaction volume and complexity. No surprise hourly bills and no mid-year scope creep.

  3. 03
    Step 3

    ONBOARD

    We clean up the back-books, set up feeds, build an industry-correct chart of accounts, and introduce your dedicated senior accountant. Clean-up runs 30 to 60 days for most clients.

  4. 04
    Step 4

    ONGOING

    Every month you get reconciled books, P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and clear monthly reporting. Quarterly tax projections and year-end handoff are part of the ongoing engagement.

Who we work best with

Built for businesses ready to scale past DIY books.

We're honest about fit. Three traits define the owners who get the most out of LedgerWay.

$500K+ revenue small businesses ready to outgrow DIY books

Past QuickBooks-self-serve, not yet ready for a $90K controller. Typical client: $500K–$10M revenue, 3–25 employees, books that should drive decisions — not just survive April.

Professional-services firms with billable work and WIP

Law, IT, marketing, engineering, and other billable-hour or project-based businesses. We track WIP, utilization, AR aging by client, and revenue recognition the way your industry actually does it.

E-commerce and multi-channel retailers tired of merchant-fee chaos

Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, brick-and-mortar — merchant-fee reconciliation, sales-tax nexus across 40+ states, returns, chargebacks, inventory. Across hundreds of stores. Your monthly close stops being a guessing game.

Frequently asked

What every owner asks before signing.

Our sweet spot is $500K to $10M in annual revenue, with 3–25+ employees. We work across professional services (law, IT, marketing, consulting), e-commerce, construction, healthcare, and real estate. If you're below $500K we may still be a fit for our quarterly accounting services; if you're above $10M we're absolutely in our element. The qualification questions on this page exist so we can give you an honest answer fast.

No. We serve clients nationwide through our secure client portal, virtual meetings, and email communications. We also have physical offices in Atlanta, Los Angeles, Houston, Tampa, Austin, and Torrance for clients who want in-person meetings. We are happy to match you with your team based on location or preference.

Flat monthly fee based on transaction volume, complexity, and the scope you choose. Bookkeeping-only engagements start lower. With additional services like payroll, controller, accounts payable/recieveable and tax advisory available for additional fees. The fee covers your named accountant, monthly reconciliations and close, financial statements, quarterly tax projections (if scoped), and the additional services you choose. We do our best to create accurate quotes based on the information provided.

Most clean-up engagements close inside 30–45 days, depending on how quickly we get access to the information and answers we need. Clean-up is quoted separately from monthly service so you see the cost upfront.

QuickBooks Online is our primary platform. We can help you get set up if you’re still using spreadsheets or want to switch. We also have experience integrating other business tools such as Shopify, Amazon, Stripe, Square, Gusto, Rippling, Ramp, and most other tools in the modern small-business stack.

While it doesn’t happen often, people do retire or change jobs. Since each client has a team, the historic context of your account won’t be lost and our internal team will help your new senior accountant get up to speed on everything. When transitions happen the named-team model is what protects you from disruption.

After a discovery call and signed engagement letter, we can typically kickoff within a few days. We’ll get access to your QuickBooks account, get to know your business and then clean-up (if any) will start.

If you're a small business owner looking for a team that knows taxes and accounting inside and out, you're in the right place. Many of our team members hold active CPA (certified public accountant) and EA (enrolled agent) certifications, and we have senior accountants with decades of experience. That expertise is at the core of every service we provide: tax preparation, tax planning, bookkeeping, accounting, and CFO advisory.

LedgerWay operates under what's called an Alternative Practice Structure (APS). It’s a model used by many modern accounting firms that separates the business entity from the licensed CPA firm. The tax, bookkeeping, and advisory services you'd work with us on are provided by LedgerWay, Inc., while attest and assurance services (think audits, reviews, and compilations) are performed by our licensed CPA partner firm, AMS CPAs. It's two legally distinct entities working together to deliver one seamless experience.
