The Triangle is one of the fastest-growing business markets in the country. It deserves better bookkeeping.

The Research Triangle has produced world-class companies, research institutions, and entrepreneurs. Most of the bookkeeping serving those businesses hasn't kept pace. Triangle Ledger Co. was built specifically for this market — its growth trajectory, its industry mix, and its professional expectations.

△ The Clean Start Method

Transition sounds like
more work.
It isn't.

We hear this on every discovery call. Handing your books to someone new means explanations, access, trust — all while you're already stretched. Let's talk about what transition actually asks of you. Spoiler: it's less than 3 hours total.

If transition requires more than 3 hours of your time in the first 30 days, your second month is free. No asterisks.

✓ Most clients say they never want to go back
We know what you're thinking

Let's address what you're actually worried about.

01"I don't have time to get someone up to speed right now."
You don't have to. We spend the first five days inside your books learning the landscape ourselves — then come to you with targeted, specific questions only. Most clients invest under 90 minutes in the entire first month.
02"I'm not comfortable giving someone access to my accounts."
We connect through QuickBooks accountant access — read-only to your transactions, never to your actual bank accounts. Documents go through Liscio, a bank-grade encrypted portal. No passwords over email, ever.
03"My books are honestly a mess. I'd be embarrassed."
Messy books are the job. We assess the cleanup in week one and give you a flat-fee quote before any work begins. No judgment, no open-ended billing. A clear scope and a fixed price.
04"What if I pay a few months and it doesn't work out?"
Three-month initial term, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No long-term contracts, ever. If you leave, we return everything organized. We keep clients by delivering — not by trapping them.

How It Works

Five steps.
Every single month.

Once you're onboarded, this runs like clockwork — every month, without you asking.

1
Step 01
Transaction Collection
Bank feeds pull automatically. You upload receipts to your Liscio portal throughout the month — 10 minutes total.
2
Step 02
Full Categorization
Every transaction is reviewed, categorized, and matched. Nothing goes in miscellaneous. We ask if we're unsure.
3
Step 03
Bank Reconciliation
All accounts reconciled to the penny. Discrepancies flagged and resolved before close. Clean numbers, always.
4
Step 04
Reports Delivered
P&L + Balance Sheet (+ Cash Flow at Growth/Premium) delivered to your Liscio portal by your guaranteed close date.
5
Step 05
Advisory Note
A plain-English note with every close: what your numbers mean, what changed, and one thing to watch. Included in every tier.

Why Triangle Ledger Co.

Not the same product
as the $299 platforms.

🏗️
WIP Specialization
The only solo bookkeeper in the Triangle offering dedicated WIP schedule capability. No national platform has this for contractors under $25M.

Still Have Questions?

We've heard every
hesitation.

Four conversations that come up most often — answered honestly, without spin.

1"I've tried bookkeepers before. It fell apart."
Tell me what broke down — slow delivery, no communication, or useless reports? Our entire service model was built around those three specific failure points. Guaranteed close date in writing, a 48-hour SLA, and a report with a plain-English explanation every month.
2"I'd need to loop in my CPA and I don't have bandwidth for that."
Your CPA's job actually gets easier. We send a CPA-ready year-end package directly to them in the format they want. We introduce ourselves and handle the coordination. Most CPAs actively refer clients to us. One email connecting us is all it takes.
3"Maybe next quarter when things slow down."
Every month you wait is 8–10 more hours spent on something you resent. Quieter periods are ideal for onboarding — fewer transactions, lower cleanup scope. If next quarter is real, let's put a date on the calendar now so there's no friction when you're ready.
4"$750 is a lot when I'm doing this for free."
Run the math. Ten hours a month at $100/hr is already $1,000 in opportunity cost. We cost less — and you get the time back. Add CPA cleanup fees at $300–$500/hr. One clean year pays for itself. The question isn't whether you can afford this; it's whether you can afford to keep doing it yourself.
FAQ

Common
questions.

Everything you need before booking your free consultation.

Do I need QuickBooks already?+
No — if you don't have QuickBooks Online, we'll set it up as part of onboarding. If you're on Xero or another platform, we work with that too. We handle any migration planning so you don't have to.
What if my books are a complete mess?+
Messy books are exactly why clients call us. During The Clean Start, we assess the state of your books in week one and give you a flat-fee cleanup quote before any work begins. A fixed scope and a fixed price.
How do you handle payroll?+
We record payroll journal entries in QuickBooks — actual payroll processing is handled by your provider (Gusto, ADP, Paychex, etc.). If you need a recommendation, we're happy to help you evaluate options.
What happens at year-end for taxes?+
Every tier includes a year-end CPA handoff package — organized workpapers in the format your CPA needs. At Premium tier we coordinate directly with your CPA through Q4. We also prepare and file 1099s for all contractors in January.
How do I get in touch when I have a question?+
All communication happens through your Liscio secure portal — messaging, documents, and file requests all in one place. SLA: 48 hours on Essentials, 24 hours on Growth, same-day on Premium (4pm cutoff).
Can I upgrade my tier later?+
Absolutely — upgrade anytime with 30 days' notice. Many clients start at Essentials and move to Growth once they see the value of the Cash Flow Statement. Your history and relationship carry over seamlessly.
Can you handle construction job costing?+
Yes — this is our signature specialty. Full WIP schedule management, job cost variance analysis, AIA billing support, retainage tracking, and NC lien law compliance. No other solo bookkeeper in the Triangle offers this level of construction-specific capability.
What's the commitment and how do I cancel?+
Three-month initial term, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice. No long-term contracts, ever. If you leave, we return all documents, your QBO file stays yours, and we deliver a clean final close package.
