Sarah Lane
Sarah spent her first five years in accounting at a regional CPA firm in Charleston. She learned fast that the firm wasn't actually built for small businesses — it was built for CPAs who charged small businesses by the six-minute increment. Clients would leave a voicemail and get a $45 callback bill the next week.
She left in 2013 and built the bookkeeping practice she wished she could refer her friends to: flat monthly pricing, clean QuickBooks files, same-day email replies, and zero jargon. Twelve years later, Ledger & Lane serves 150+ Charleston small businesses across trades, retail, restaurants, real estate, and creative services.
When you email Sarah, Sarah emails back. When your CPA asks for year-end financials, you forward one email. When you don't understand what a journal entry is, she'll explain it in plain English without making you feel dumb for asking.
