Do I need QuickBooks?

No. LedgerHelm works with your existing QBO or Xero if you have it, or our built-in LedgerHelm Books if you don't. Either way, you never touch the accounting software.

What if I have income from multiple platforms (Upwork, direct clients, Stripe)?

All income sources are tracked separately. You'll see exactly what you earned from each client or platform.

How does the quarterly tax reminder work?

We estimate your quarterly tax liability based on your income and expenses each quarter and send you a reminder with the estimated amount before each due date.

What's the difference between Solo AI and Solo Managed?

Solo AI is fully automated — the AI handles everything. Solo Managed adds a human bookkeeper who reviews all the AI's work before it's finalized, giving you an extra layer of accuracy.

Yes, any time. Upgrade or downgrade from your billing settings.

Sound familiar?

I have income from 5 different clients and I have no idea what I owe in taxes

I missed deductions last year because I didn't track my expenses properly

I'm mixing personal and business on the same card and it's a mess

My accountant charges me extra every year to clean up my books

I know I should be setting aside money for quarterly taxes but I never know how much

If you answered yes to any of these, LedgerHelm was built for you.
