Your first P&L — December (demo)

First, the part worth looking at: staff wages took $31,480 — about 48 cents of every dollar that came in. That is worth a conversation, not a worry.

Yours, always. QuickBooks-importable. Leaves with you the day you leave.

When you outgrow this, we'll say so

First Ledger is a starting point, not a destination. At about twelve months of confirmed history — or sooner if your volume calls for it — we'll tell you plainly that you've outgrown it, hand you a clean export of everything, and introduce you to an accountant who can take it from there. No lock-in, no export fee, no waiting period.

Starting here is normal. Most owners have never been handed the tools.
