Frequently
Asked Questions
Search, or choose any question from the list
Is the consultation free?
Yes. The consultation is free, and there's no cost to find out whether LedgerWay is the right fit for your business.
Who will I meet with, and what happens during the consultation?
You'll meet with a member of the LedgerWay sales team. The call is a chance to share where your business is today and where you want it to go, and ask questions. Our team will guide you through which services make sense and help match you with the best CPA, EA and/or accounting team for your situation.
Will the consultation be by video or phone?
Consultations are usually held by video. If you'd rather talk by phone, just let us know and we'll set it up that way.
What happens after I submit the consultation form?
Businesses that submit a form will be directed our calendar to schedule a call. If you do not schedule a call, we will contact you to learn more about your situation and needs. Individuals who fill in our form will get an email follow-up from our team. While we work with plenty of individuals, we can offer more value to people with more complex situations.
Does booking a consultation commit me to anything?
No. Booking a consultation doesn't commit you to anything.
How much do your services cost?
Pricing varies widely based on your complexity and needs. You can review our pricing page to see some starting pricing. On the call we will ask for the information we need to create an accurate quote.
How am I billed for your services?
LedgerWay uses flat-fee pricing, billed monthly. You know what you're paying before work begins, so you can plan for it like any other fixed cost. As your business grows and your needs change, we can scale with you. And if one-off needs arise, you can add that on too.
How long is the agreement, and how do I cancel?
LedgerWay engagements are typically one-year agreements. To cancel, you provide 30 days' written notice. You can review the full terms and conditions before you sign up.
Can you help if my books and taxes are years behind?
You're not too far behind to get help. LedgerWay regularly takes on business owners with years of accounting left undone and years of unfiled taxes. Your team gets the books caught up, files past-due returns, and then sets up a process so you stay current. Catch-up bookkeeping is quoted separately on a project basis.
Who handles my tax return?
At LedgerWay, every return is handled by a licensed CPA or Enrolled Agent. That matters most when your situation is complex, when the IRS has questions, or when you need advice beyond what a form can tell you.
Do I need a tax attorney for an audit?
For most small business audits, a CPA or Enrolled Agent is exactly what you need. LedgerWay's team is authorized to represent you before the IRS and will advise if a tax attorney is warranted.
How long has LedgerWay been in business?
LedgerWay was founded in January 2022 and now serves more than 5,100 active clients in 48 states. Since LedgerWay has acquired several CPA firms, many of our staff and clients have been with us for decades.
What qualifications and experience does your team have?
Your team includes licensed CPAs and Enrolled Agents. Some LedgerWay CPAs bring five decades of individual experience, so you get deep expertise backed by modern tools and a firm that moves fast.
What types of clients do you work with?
LedgerWay was built for small businesses and entrepreneurs, from solopreneurs to growing teams with up to $10M in revenue. Individuals are welcome too, including those with rental properties or side businesses. If your finances are getting more complex than software can handle, you're a good fit.
Which industries do you work with?
Real estate investors & property owenrs, professional services firms and home service business owners are among LedgerWay's largest client groups. The team also works closely with ecommerce businesses, consulting firms and agencies, oil and gas, and health practices like med spas and therapy offices. With thousands of clients, and clients across the US, there's a good chance we work with a business like yours.
Can you work with clients in different states or with multi-state filings?
Yes. LedgerWay works with clients in any U.S. state and has active clients in 48 states and territories like Puerto Rico and USVI. If you earn income, own property, or have employees in more than one state, your team will handle each state's filing requirements.
How much revenue or income should I have to benefit from your services?
It depends on your situation. Most LedgerWay clients have at least $300,000 in annual revenue or income, and many fall between $1M and $10M. Complexity matters more than size, when it comes to value and ROI. Some strategies, like electing S corp status, can start paying off at around $150,000 in revenue.
Can you help with an existing IRS issue, back taxes, or an audit?
Yes. LedgerWay helps clients with back taxes, notices, and audits already underway. In one case, a client came to LedgerWay facing about $1.3 million in penalties and interest after missed filings under prior leadership. After months of review and work with the IRS, that balance came down by roughly $500,000.
How do I switch from my current accountant to LedgerWay?
Switching is simpler than most people expect. To get started, you connect your QuickBooks or other accounting software and share your last couple of years of tax returns. Your team will then request any other documents your situation calls for, and meet with you to get started.
Do my tax filings need to be up to date before I work with you?
No. We can prepare and file past-due tax returns.
Will I have a dedicated team?
Yes. Every client gets a named team they know, and that team stays consistent. You won't have to re-explain your business to a new person each time you reach out.
How quickly will I receive a response?
You'll get a real response within two business days. That's a standard the whole firm is built around, because questions about hiring, deals, or a tax notice can't wait weeks for an answer.
Do you provide year-round advice, or do you only file returns during tax season?
We act as your year-round tax and accounting partner. During our consultation, we will discuss how our team focuses on where you are going and provides proactive strategy all year long, rather than just reaching out when it is time to file.
Are you a traditional CPA firm?
We are not a licensed CPA firm. Ledgerway is a dedicated team of accountants who go beyond traditional historical reporting to act as your complete financial partner. We focus on the big picture by helping you optimize your technology, manage your financials, and scale effectively.
Do you have experience working with firms like mine?
Yes. Ledgerway specifically focuses on supporting large firms and scaling operations. On our call, we will ask about where your business is currently at to ensure our expertise strongly aligns with your industry and operational size.
How does your pricing work, and will I be surprised by hourly bills?
We value total transparency. One of the main goals of the 15 to 30-minute consultation is to understand which services make sense for your situation. That way, we can give you a clear, upfront picture of what working with Ledgerway looks like and exactly what it costs.
Will I have direct access to my accounting team, or am I passed off to a call center?
You will always know exactly who you are working with. Our introductory call helps us understand the complexity of your needs so we can align you with the right team of accountants. You will always have direct communication and clear support.
What is your communication style and average response time?
We know that waiting on financial answers slows down your momentum. On our call, we will outline our communication standards so you always know exactly when to expect a response.
Do you offer proactive tax planning to help reduce my tax burden?
Absolutely. Many businesses come to us because they are tired of just looking at the past and want more proactive advice. During the call, we will discuss which forward-looking tax and accounting services make sense for your situation so you are not leaving money on the table.
Can you also help with bookkeeping and optimizing my business software?
Yes. Depending on the complexity of your needs, we offer comprehensive support. We will discuss exactly which services best fit your firm, from daily bookkeeping to optimizing software like QuickBooks or Gusto.
What do I need to prepare before our first call?
You do not need to bring perfectly organized financial statements to the first meeting. Just bring a clear picture of where your business is at right now, what your goals are, and where you feel you need the most support.
How do we know if we are a good fit for each other?
That is exactly what the consultation is for! After our brief chat, you will leave with a clear sense of whether our team of accountants is the right fit to help you get where you are going, and we will too.
