"We don't just fix your books — we give you back control of your business."

— Founder, Upward Ledger

Created Ground Up for American Businesses

We didn’t begin as an accounting firm. We began with one simple idea, to provide professional accounting services and Quickbooks support for all small businesses in America.

Established With A Purpose

Upward Ledger was started by certified accountants who were tired of watching their small business clients suffer from bookkeeping issues, QuickBooks errors, and not having a cost-effective professional to help them out. Our startup included 10 clients and the promise of doing it correctly.

Expanding Into QuickBooks Errors

QuickBooks errors were becoming one of the biggest problems that our clients faced, prompting us to establish a dedicated team to handle these issues and earn us our very first QuickBooks ProAdvisor certifications.

Launched Payroll & CPA Outsourcing

Growth accounting firms sought dependable overflow solutions. Payroll and bookkeeping services for accounting firms were established, providing the option for growth without increasing staff numbers.

2021

Full Remote Nationwide Services

The capability was developed for servicing clients from anywhere within the United States using remote access and 24/7 availability. There are no geographic barriers or boundaries, just professional assistance at your fingertips.

More Than 500 Businesses & Counting

Our current customer base exceeds 500 companies, CPAs, and bookkeepers who use our services to handle their QuickBooks data import and export needs. We have plans to roll out an additional product soon.

Six Values That Shape Everything That We Do

They are more than just words that decorate the wall of your office. They are values that shape all our actions from meeting clients to correcting errors.

🎯

Accuracy First

There is no guessing involved when working with us. You get what you expect to get. Every figure will be double checked for accuracy.

🤝

Real Relationships

You will have someone dedicated to you that understands your business not someone working off of tickets in a line. We develop relationships, not merely do business.

Speed That Matters

Time equals money. That's why we will be fast with our responses, solutions and delivery because waiting days for an accounting response is unacceptable.

🔒

Uncompromising Privacy

This is your data and your private business. We will sign nondisclosure agreements, work on fully encrypted systems and keep your data completely private.

💡

Continuous Learning

Tax law changes. QuickBooks changes. Regulation changes. We continue our education so that you don’t have to.

💬

Radical Transparency

No surprises. No unexpected costs. Flat rates. When a process takes more time or costs more than anticipated, we inform you ahead of time, not after.
