Books that balance. Every month. To the penny.

Ledgerline keeps the books for small operations: monthly close, clean categories, and a one page report written in plain English. This whole site is laid out like your ledger will be: legible, ruled, and reconciled.

Services

Sample rates Tick a row, the total keeps itself

Every engagement is built from these five rows. Untick what you do not need; the running total recalculates as you go, and your selection carries down into the contact form. With scripts off, the table shows all five services totalled: still a complete price list, just quieter.

Service rates are sample figures on this demonstration. [Set your rates.] The arithmetic is real; the prices are placeholders.

SVC-01 Monthly bookkeeping Every transaction categorized, every account reconciled, closed by the [set day]th. $350

Sample data What "done" looks like

This is a demonstration month with invented figures, shown so you can see the standard of the work: every line dated, every line explained, and a closing balance that agrees with the bank to the penny.

Method

 Four rows, in order, every time
  1. STEP-01

    The handoff

    Send what you have. A shoebox counts. A drawer counts. A folder named "misc final FINAL" counts. We have seen worse and we will not ask how it got this way.

  2. STEP-02

    The clean-up

    Backlog posted, duplicates removed, categories rebuilt so they mean something. Quoted flat before we start, so the clean-up never becomes its own mystery expense.

  3. STEP-03

    The monthly close

    Accounts reconciled and closed by the [set day]th of each month. Closed means closed: the numbers stop moving, which is the point of having numbers.

  4. STEP-04

    The report you will actually read

    One page. What came in, what went out, what is owed, and the one thing worth doing about it. No dashboard, no login, no chart with a gradient.

Who keeps the books

[Set your name], [set your credential]. [Set your years] years of keeping books for cafes, contractors, and one-van operations; fluent in [set your software] and in explaining it without it. Ledgerline stays deliberately small so that the person who answers your email is the person who closed your month.

We are precise about money and relaxed about everything else. Questions are free and encouraged, including the ones that start with "this is probably stupid, but".

Post an entry below and your row appears above, marked pending, while your email app opens with the message ready to send. The row is a preview; the email is the record. Nothing reaches us until you send it yourself.

While you type, your name, email and note are held as a draft in this browser's own storage, so a reload does not cost you the entry. Posting the entry clears that draft.

Carried down from the services table: SVC-01, SVC-02, SVC-03, SVC-04, SVC-05 · $1,050 / mo (sample rates)

Scripts are off, so the button hands this entry to your mail app as plain text. If your mail app does not answer, post it yourself: hello@ledgerline.example or [set your phone]. Both routes land on the same desk, and the books do not mind which one you took.
