About

Accounting software that shows its work.

Ledgerline is for small-business owners and the bookkeepers and accountants who keep their books — people who are numerate, busy and rightly sceptical of “AI magic”.

Why we exist

Year-end shouldn't take a week of retyping.

Every year, bookkeepers receive the same thing: a pile of PDFs from different banks, card statements with several accounts inside, marketplace reports, and a shoebox of receipt photos. Turning that into financial statements still means days of retyping, matching and hunting for the difference.

We studied real year-end engagements and the traps inside them: payouts counted twice, transfers booked as sales, loan interest guessed, December sitting on January's statement, and statements that only balanced because of a typed-in number.

Ledgerline is built around those traps — inside a complete, free accounting suite, so the same books you invoice from all year are the ones that close cleanly at year-end.

Principles

What we won't compromise on

  • Traceability over magic

    Every number links to the document line it came from. If we can't show where a figure came from, we don't use it.

  • No plugs, ever

    Books balance because the double-entry is right, not because someone typed in the difference. Estimates are labelled as estimates.

  • Every feature free

    Small businesses shouldn't have to pick which part of their books they can afford. There are no tiers to outgrow.

  • Canada first

    GST/HST, QST and PST, bilingual statements and French receipts are first-class — with US businesses fully supported.

  • Private by default

    Your data is yours. It's encrypted, access is logged, and it is never used to train AI models.
