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 for this market: its growth, its industry mix, and the amount of construction happening across it.

One-time onboarding
$300–$750for books in reasonable shape

Every new client starts with a diagnostic. We review your books, confirm your scope, and set up your file correctly. That work is billed once, so it never inflates your monthly price.

Historical cleanup or catch-up is assessed separately and quoted as a fixed fee before any work begins. Payroll complexity, inventory, multi-entity consolidation and specialized reporting are quoted individually.

Need one thing beyond your package? Add it on its own. Add-ons cover work that varies a lot from business to business.

△ The Clean Start Method

Transition sounds like
more work.
It isn't.

We hear this on every Fit Call. Handing your books to someone new means explanations, access, and trust, all while you're already stretched. Here's what transition actually asks of you: 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.

✓ Built so you never have to chase your own financials
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, never through your actual bank logins. 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. The diagnostic in week one tells us exactly what's needed, and you get a fixed-fee cleanup quote before any work begins. No judgment and no open-ended billing.
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. If you leave, we return everything organized. We keep clients by delivering, not by locking them in.

How It Works

Five steps.
Every month.

Once you're onboarded, this runs on a fixed schedule without you asking.

1
Transaction collection
Bank feeds pull automatically. You upload receipts to your Liscio portal through the month, about 10 minutes total.
2
Full categorization
Every transaction is reviewed, categorized and matched. Nothing goes into miscellaneous. We ask when we're unsure.
3
Reconciliation
All accounts reconciled to the penny. Discrepancies are flagged and resolved before close.
4
Reports delivered
P&L and Balance Sheet on every package, plus cash flow and AR/AP aging on Growth & Advisory and CFO-Ready Finance, delivered by your close date.
5
The monthly note
What your numbers mean, what changed, and one thing to act on. Included on every package.

Who We Serve

Deep expertise.
Not generalist work.

Every industry has its own accounting quirks: job costing, retainage, seasonal revenue, retainers. We learn yours once, so you don't have to explain your business to your bookkeeper every month.

Why Triangle Ledger Co.

Not the same product
as the $299 platforms.

Local knowledge
We know Wake County's growth market, local CPAs, the CFMA Raleigh chapter, NC lien law deadlines, and Wake Forest's construction pipeline. National platforms don't.
WIP specialization
The only solo bookkeeper in the Triangle offering dedicated WIP schedule capability. No national platform offers this for contractors under $25M.
Your person. Our team.
You work with a dedicated bookkeeper who knows your business: the same person, the same context, every month. Behind them is a team of bookkeeping professionals, so you never lose continuity when life happens.
Response times in writing
48 hours on Foundation, 24 on Growth & Advisory, same day on CFO-Ready Finance. Committed in your engagement letter from day one.

Still Have Questions?

We've heard every
hesitation.

The four conversations that come up most often, answered plainly.

1"I've tried bookkeepers before. It fell apart."
Tell us what broke down: slow delivery, no communication, or reports you couldn't use? Our service model was built around those three failure points. A committed close date in writing, a response-time commitment, and a plain-English note every month.
2"I'd need to loop in my CPA and I don't have bandwidth for that."
Your CPA's job gets easier. We send a CPA-ready year-end package directly to them in the format they want, introduce ourselves, and handle the coordination. One email connecting us is all it takes.
3"Maybe next quarter when things slow down."
Every month you wait is another 8–10 hours on work you resent. Quieter periods are ideal for onboarding: fewer transactions and less cleanup. If next quarter is real, let's put a date on the calendar now.
4"$495 a month is a lot when I'm doing this myself."
Run the math. Ten hours a month at $100/hr is $1,000 in opportunity cost. Foundation starts at $495, and you get the time back. Add what your CPA bills to clean up the books at year-end, and one clean year usually pays for itself.
FAQ

Common
questions.

Everything you need before booking a Financial Fit Call.

If you mainly need accurate books and monthly statements, Foundation. If you want to use your numbers to manage cash and make decisions, Growth & Advisory, which is where most established businesses land. If you have multiple entities, complex reporting or a leadership team that needs a monthly review, CFO-Ready Finance. Contractors should look at our construction packages. We'll confirm the fit on your call.
A one-time onboarding and diagnostic fee of $300–$750 for books that are in reasonable shape. Every new client gets a diagnostic, even when no cleanup is needed. If your books need historical cleanup or catch-up, we quote that separately as a fixed fee before any work starts. It's never folded into your monthly price.
An occasional busy month isn't a problem. If you're consistently over, additional volume runs $100–$200/mo per 100 transactions, or we'll recommend moving to the package that fits. We'll always tell you before anything changes on your invoice.
No. If you don't have QuickBooks Online, we'll set it up during onboarding. If you're on Xero or another platform, we can work with that too and handle any migration planning.
We record payroll entries in QuickBooks. Payroll processing itself is handled by your provider (Gusto, ADP, Paychex and so on). Complex payroll setups, such as multiple states or certified payroll, are scoped and quoted separately.
Every package includes a year-end CPA handoff package: organized workpapers in the format your CPA needs. On CFO-Ready Finance and contractor packages we coordinate with your CPA through the year. 1099 preparation is scoped during onboarding based on how many contractors you pay.
Yes, with 30 days' notice. Many clients start on Foundation and move to Growth & Advisory once they see what cash flow and budget reporting do for their decisions. Your history and relationship carry over.
Yes. Construction accounting is our signature service, with its own packages covering job costing, WIP schedules, retainage tracking and cash flow forecasting. See construction accounting for details and pricing.
A three-month initial term, then month-to-month with 30 days' notice. If you leave, we return all documents, your QuickBooks file stays yours, and we deliver a clean final close.
