Ledgers Canada

Own a Professional Bookkeeping, Accounting & Tax Business – Backed by a Proven, 100% Canadian Franchise System

Ledgers gives entrepreneurs the opportunity to build a professional bookkeeping, tax and business services practice with the backing of a Canadian brand established in 1994.

The business operates through a low-overhead, cloud-based model, allowing franchise owners to focus on developing their business and building lasting client relationships. Established systems and Central Processing support help franchisees deliver a broad range of services without having to manage every aspect of the work themselves.

A Range of Services for Small Businesses and Their Owners

Ledgers provides financial services for small businesses, business owners and the public, creating opportunities for franchisees to develop ongoing relationships with their clients.

Services include bookkeeping, business planning, corporate tax preparation and personal tax preparation. The model is designed around recurring monthly client relationships, while also giving franchisees the opportunity to expand the services they provide.

The franchise offers:

• A business system developed over more than 30 years
• 100% cloud-based technology and highly automated processes
• Central Processing support across a broader range of services
• Marketing and lead-generation support
• Access to an established network of franchise owners and business resources
• No requirement to be a CPA

Central Processing Takes Care of More of the Work

One of the key features of the Ledgers model is its Central Processing system.

It allows franchisees to offer a wider range of services without necessarily needing to build additional in-house teams or complete specialist training for every area of the business.

For owners, this can mean more time spent on the parts of the business that matter most to growth, including meeting potential clients, networking with local businesses and developing existing relationships.

Cloud-Based Technology at the Core

Ledgers has built its model around cloud-based technology and automated processes.

The technology platform incorporates solutions such as QuickBooks Online, DEXT, Wagepoint and Telpay. Franchisees also have access to Ledgers Dynamix, which supports collaboration across the network, workflow management, prospect tracking and access to business resources.

Training That Continues Beyond the Start-Up Stage

New franchisees begin with five days of classroom training before moving on to online tutorials and courses.

The support continues during the early stages of the business. For the first six months, franchisees work with a Ledgers business coach and receive mentoring from a franchisee who has been part of the network for more than 20 years.

Franchisees also have access to ongoing webinars, technology training and continuing education. An annual conference provides another opportunity to connect with the wider network.

Marketing support includes a custom website, social media assistance, campaigns and lead-generation initiatives.

More Than 30 Years of Canadian Experience

Ledgers was founded by Canadian CPAs in 1994 and remains family-owned, family-operated and 100% Canadian.

With more than three decades of operating experience, the brand has built an established franchise system and has received the Franchisee Choice Award several years running.

“The Ledgers system has shown me how to be efficient, maximizing my time and ability to grow my business.”

Stephen Johnson, Ledgers (Nunavut)

Is Ledgers Right for You?

You don't need to be a CPA to become a Ledgers franchise owner.

The opportunity could suit someone who enjoys meeting people, building professional relationships and working with small business owners. Experience or knowledge in bookkeeping, accounting or tax can be useful, as can post-secondary education.

Just as important are strong communication skills, the ability to network and the motivation to develop the business.
