Questions owners ask before hiring a bookkeeper.

Ledgermere is a fixed-fee bookkeeping firm. We do monthly bookkeeping and catch-up bookkeeping inside your own Buildium, QuickBooks Online or Xero account, reconcile every bank, card and trust account to its statement, and close your books on a date agreed each month. We work with property managers and small businesses in the US and UK.

A fixed monthly fee set by the size of your books: transactions a month for QuickBooks Online and Xero, units for Buildium. No setup fee, no hourly billing, no contract, and the price is fixed for twelve months. Every plan is on our pricing page, with a calculator that prices yours in 30 seconds.

Three-way reconciliation checks that three numbers agree for a trust account: the bank statement balance, the balance in your accounting system's bank register, and the total of the individual owner and tenant ledgers. Many US states require property managers who hold client money to reconcile trust accounts this way on a regular schedule, and it is one of the first things an auditor or real estate commission examiner asks to see.

Catch-up bookkeeping brings books that have fallen behind up to date. Every missed month is categorized, reconciled to its statements and closed, oldest month first. At Ledgermere, up to twelve months behind is closed within 14 working days of access. Longer backlogs get a finish date in writing before work starts. How the catch-up works.

No. We work inside your existing Buildium, QuickBooks Online or Xero account. If you have none yet, we set one up in your name and the subscription stays yours. We also move businesses from QuickBooks Desktop to QuickBooks Online, and from QuickBooks to Xero.

Yes. Each January we prepare owner and vendor 1099s from your Buildium or QuickBooks data, check vendor tax details and payment totals, and send them for your approval before they are filed from your software. Recipients' copies are due by January 31.

We need a user login in your accounting software and your statements or read-only bank feeds. We never ask for your bank login. An NDA and a data processing agreement are signed before anyone logs in, and if you remove our user we are out the same day.

A small team of bookkeepers based in Lahore, Pakistan, working inside your own software. One named bookkeeper is responsible for your file, answers your messages and signs off every close, so you never re-explain your business.

No. Ledgermere is not a CPA firm and does not prepare or file income tax returns. Your CPA, enrolled agent or accountant keeps that work. We do the books, and at year-end they get twelve closed months and a cover note before they ask.

There is no contract. Cancel any month. Your books stay in your software, closed to the last agreed date, and the year-end file comes with you.

Yes. Message us on WhatsApp for a quote or a quick question, any working day. Clients can also use it for the monthly question list if that's easier than email.
