If you're still not sure if Ledger & Lane is the right fit, these usually cover it.
No — we're bookkeepers, not CPAs. We don't prepare or file tax returns. What we do is keep your books tax-ready all year and hand your CPA a clean trial balance in January so your tax prep is fast, accurate, and cheap. If you don't have a CPA, we have a network of 14 Lowcountry CPAs we can introduce you to.
Foundation (simple / solopreneurs): $350/mo. Growth (most established small businesses): $550/mo. Advanced (multi-entity, inventory, complex): $850+/mo. Every price is flat, quoted after a free 20-minute consult, and never increases during the year.
Never. Our most common new-client story is "I haven't touched QuickBooks in 18 months." One recent client was SIX YEARS behind — we got them current in 8 weeks and they're still a client today. We see messy books every day. No judgment, just a flat catch-up quote and a plan.
Both. Sarah is a Certified Advanced QuickBooks ProAdvisor (Online and Desktop) and a Xero Certified Partner. We'll recommend what fits your business. If you're on something we don't support (like FreshBooks or Wave), we'll help you migrate — it's free with a monthly engagement.
Bank-level encryption, SOC 2 compliant cloud workflow, two-factor auth on every tool, and an audit-logged document portal. We never receive documents through email. We carry professional liability insurance and every client relationship starts with an NDA if you want one.
Yes to all three — and a lot more. We specialize in trades (contractors, HVAC, landscape), restaurants, retail, e-commerce, real estate, professional services, creatives, and healthcare/wellness. Each industry has its own quirks and we've seen them. Ask us about yours.
Yes. Payroll can be a standalone service — from $85/mo + $8/employee. Most clients combine it with monthly bookkeeping for a single, coordinated workflow, but it's not required.
No. Emails are free. Phone calls are free. We charge a flat monthly fee because we'd rather you ask a quick question than avoid us for a month and compound a small problem into a big one.
