LedgerBench

Bookkeeping that starts with a migration

Small and medium-sized businesses in the United States can hand their books to LedgerBench, an outsourced accounting and bookkeeping provider. It handles accounting work for individuals as well as companies, and it says that outsourcing lets a client get its books kept at a fraction of local costs. The company promises accurate, compliant bookkeeping and tax records, delivered quickly and supported around the clock.

The first step with a new client is usually a migration. The firm takes over the client's books and records, moves them to its own systems and then keeps them up to date. The company says clients can then focus on running the business while the financial reports arrive each month, in the client's hands at the end of each period.

Payroll, tax returns and workflow automation

The firm offers small business bookkeeping, tax return services and payroll for businesses of varying size. Its service list also includes workflow automation, which the company describes as routine work done by systems rather than by hand, and integration and customization, which connect the firm's work to the software a client already uses. A consultation is offered in addition to the day-to-day work.

The company describes an experienced and versatile team with more than thirty years of combined US accounting experience. It says every client is given a dedicated account manager, with an assistant available around the clock, so that a client can get what it needs when it needs it.

Case work: years of records cleared in weeks

The site describes several cases. In one, a client came to the firm with two years of bank reconciliations missing, after an earlier accountant had been responsible for that period. The company says it completed the reconciliation in about six weeks. In another, a firm of more than 300 employees needed payroll run for the first time, and the firm says it took over that work.

Another case concerned a business that had been paying penalties for late tax filings because its in-house accountant was overloaded. The company says it took over payroll and deadlines, and that the penalties stopped. These are the company's own accounts of its work.

Free consultation and how the work is handed over

Prospective clients can book a consultation by email or phone, or through a video tool of their choice. The company says the consultation is free and carries no obligation, and that it uses the call to learn about the business and its pain points. It explains how its processes work and how it would save money and keep the client compliant, before the client decides.
