Ledgers Canada was founded in 1994 on the premise that small business and its owners were not being serviced in a “Professional and Affordable” manner in terms of accounting, bookkeeping, payroll and tax related issues. The Ledgers vision has grown from a concept of Professional Bookkeeping to a business support system that provides a comprehensive suite of services to small business, their owners and the general public.
The Accounting and Bookkeeping industry is very volatile due to the broadness and ambiguity of the terminology itself. What exactly is ‘bookkeeping’ and who are entitled to call themselves ‘accountants’?
Bookkeepers range from individuals with little or no formal education to persons that have gone through a great deal of education and training but have failed to get a professional designation; in many instances ’bookkeepers’ have learned how to use a software application and then call themselves a ‘bookkeeper’ because they know how to use the program. Knowledge of software does not make one a bookkeeper, it merely makes them a data-entry clerk.
Accountants on the other hand generally have several years of post-secondary education, college diplomas and university degrees. Their education and subsequent training make them very knowledgeable in accounting and tax law and a business owner can generally be confident that their financial information is being taken care of accordingly.
Ledgers Professionals position themselves in between the two. We offer a vast range of services at prices that are less than ‘accountants’ but higher than bookkeepers.
The Ledgers concept is simple: To provide the best available accounting, bookkeeping, tax preparation, tax planning, and expertise to small business owners at a fair price.
The current services available are from many ‘bookkeepers’ that may not have the education, experience or support of a National Network of Business Professionals to provide the complete range of services a small business owner requires.
Our Franchisees have the best of both worlds. The Ledgers program was designed by practicing C.A.’s with more than 30 years of experience, our training and ongoing support and marketing programs will place you miles above the skills and qualifications of other ‘bookkeepers’.
The Ledgers Model is of a ‘one-stop’ destination for small business owners. From basic accounting and bookkeeping services, to business planning, budgeting and incorporations, a small business owner can obtain virtually everything they need to run their business from an accounting and financial reporting perspective, all under one roof.
You could be an integral part of a National Network of business professionals offering a wide range of products and services to the small business community in your area within a few weeks.
