Your creative accounting sorted.
Capture receipts, send and request invoices, track income, and stay ready for tax time. Built for self-employed creatives who’d rather be making than managing spreadsheets.
For the self-employed
A calm place to track income, catch receipts, and handle invoices both ways, sending them to clients and requesting them from the people you pay, with tax time handled a little at a time: sorted each month, then packaged clean for your accountant. Every part of it is shaped around how creative work actually pays, the uneven months, the gear receipts, the deposits and final payments, because it was built by a creative living the same rhythm. We organize the year; you and a professional file it. Made for photographers, filmmakers, and the rest of us who’d rather be doing the work than the books.
Built with creatives in mind. Also an amazing tool for self-employed small business owners and gig workers of all kinds.
We’re opening to a first twenty makers. See what it does first, or apply above.
What it does, and how it works
Everything in the order money actually moves.
Forward a receipt to your own Ledger address, confirm what we catch, watch the month take shape, and export a clean summary at tax time. Here is each piece, start to finish.
Catch every receipt
Snap a photo or forward an email, and we read the merchant, amount, and date so you can confirm in a tap. You check our work; nothing is filed behind your back.
See the month at a glance
Money in, money out, and what's still owed to you: one calm screen, no spreadsheet. Income shows green, expenses rust, the way you'd expect.
Invoicing that works both ways
Send invoices to your clients, and request them from the people you pay. Most tools stop at sending. You fill in the details, send a branded link, and get back a clean PDF for your records, invoice or receipt. The payment on a sent invoice lands in your Square or Stripe account, never ours.
Track business driving honestly
Log trips by distance and mark which were for work. We show your business-use share, and in the US, an estimate only, never tax advice.
Set aside for tax, your way
Pick a percentage to mentally set aside as income comes in. It's a reminder you control, not a tax bill, and never a number we compute for you.
Package it for your accountant
When it's time, export a tidy, categorized summary for your country. We organize what you earned and spent; the filing stays between you and a professional.

Capture every receipt, three easy ways
Snap a photo, forward an email, or let your connected inbox bring them in. We read the merchant, amount, and date; you just confirm.
02
Invoicing that works both ways
Send invoices and get paid through your own Square or Stripe; the money lands where it already does, and we only ever see that a payment happened, never the funds. You can also request an invoice or receipt from anyone you've paid, so the document comes back to you clean.
03
Track mileage the way your country counts it
Log a trip and your business-use share updates itself. In Canada that's your business-use percentage, never a flat per-kilometre figure we made up; in the US, an estimate at the standard rate.

See the whole month at a glance
Money in, money out, and what's still owed: one calm screen. Income green, expenses rust, and the slice you've set aside, the way you'd expect.
05
Know what's coming, not just what happened
Recurring expenses roll forward into a simple baseline, so the months ahead hold no surprises, just what you already know is due.
06
Be ready for tax time without the dread
Everything sorted into your country's categories, the set-aside totalled, the year packaged for your accountant. We organize; you file.
It speaks your country’s language
Pick your country and the whole ledger settles into it. Your currency and number formatting, the way dates read, the expense categories you’ll actually use at tax time, and the terms on the invoices and receipts you handle all follow where you work, so nothing has to be translated in your head later. And if you work on both sides of the border, you can keep Canadian and US books in the same account — kept separate, never blended. Canada and the US are where we start; more countries are on the way as the project grows.
🇺🇸 In the United States
Drive for work and we’ll keep the miles, then show a running figure at the year’s standard mileage rate so you have a sense of what it’s worth. It’s an estimate to hand your preparer, marked plainly as not tax advice, never a number we file for you.
🇨🇦 In Canada
We track your business kilometres against your total driving and show the business-use share, the percentage your accountant starts from. We don’t apply a flat per-kilometre deduction, because what you can claim depends on your real vehicle costs, and that figure isn’t ours to decide for you.
When the two countries’ rules genuinely differ, we follow each one on its own terms rather than flattening them into a single average. The aim is always the same: clean, honest records you and a professional can file with confidence, not tax advice from an app.
Working in both countries
If you earn and spend on both sides of the border, you can turn on a second jurisdiction and keep Canadian and US records in one account — fully separated, never mixed into a single total. Each entry, invoice, and receipt is tagged to its country, your education notes follow the jurisdiction you’re reading, and at tax time each country comes out as its own self-contained report to hand the right preparer. Most people only need one country, so the option stays out of the way until you switch it on.
More countries are coming
Canada and the US are only the beginning. As the project grows we’re building the Ledger out country by country, and each one gets the same care these two did. Before a country goes live we sit with its particular tax rules — how mileage is treated, which expense categories matter, how its sales tax and self-employment rules work — so the ledger fits the place you actually file in, not a generic template. If your country isn’t here yet, keep an eye out: it may be next.
How we handle your data
Privacy isn’t a setting here. It’s the starting point.
We never hold your money
Payments go straight to your own Square or Stripe account. We see that a payment happened, not the funds themselves.
Your email, read once and let go
Forward a receipt to your own private Ledger address and we read it once to pull the details, then discard the message. Connecting your inbox directly, read-only, is coming.
Your records are yours alone
Every account's data is walled off at the row level, so no one ever sees anyone else's books, not even by accident.
No card numbers, no passwords
Card and bank details are held by your payment processor, Stripe or Square, who are built to guard them, including for any recurring payments. We keep only a secure reference, never the full numbers, and we never store passwords. Sensitive connections are stored encrypted.
Built to a high privacy bar from the first line of code. A professional security review will happen before anyone’s real data flows through the system.
Questions, or want it on your phone?
Straight answers about money, taxes, your email, and privacy, plus a quick walkthrough for saving the app to your home screen.
