Book a Discovery CallWhether you are starting from scratch, cleaning up past mistakes, or ready for ongoing monthly bookkeeping, Thomas Ledger Group helps you build a stronger financial foundation.
For businesses starting fresh or building the right foundation
If you are starting a new business or have been operating without a proper bookkeeping system, getting QuickBooks Online set up correctly from the start saves time, money, and headaches later. This is a project-based service scoped to your business complexity.
For businesses with messy or behind books
If your books are behind, categorized incorrectly, or have never been properly reconciled, a cleanup project brings everything current and corrects the foundation before moving into ongoing monthly bookkeeping.
Ongoing reconciliations and monthly financial reports
Monthly bookkeeping keeps your books current, reconciled, and organized so you always have accurate numbers. Each month you receive clean financial statements and organized reporting — without having to manage it yourself.
Specialized support for contractors and trades businesses
Roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical contractors have bookkeeping complexity that standard firms miss. Job costing, subcontractor tracking, and 1099 support are core parts of how we serve trades clients — not add-ons bolted on as an afterthought.

Book a Discovery CallIf your books are behind, messy, or unreliable, a cleanup project gives you a clean foundation — and a clear path to ongoing monthly bookkeeping.
Cleanup and catch-up bookkeeping is the process of reviewing, correcting, reconciling, and organizing your books — often covering months or years of transactions that were never properly handled.
This is a project-based service. Once your books are clean and current, it becomes much easier to maintain accurate monthly bookkeeping going forward — and to provide useful financial reporting to you, your CPA, or your lender.
If your books have never been reconciled or were handled inconsistently, a cleanup project is typically necessary before starting monthly bookkeeping. Starting monthly work on a broken foundation compounds the problem — cleanup first ensures your numbers mean something.
We talk through your situation — how far behind you are, what software you use, what the books look like, and what you need going forward.
We review your QuickBooks file, transaction history, account reconciliations, and any prior categorization work to understand the scope of cleanup needed.
We provide a clear written scope of work and pricing based on the actual complexity — months behind, number of accounts, transaction volume, and cleanup difficulty.
We work through the cleanup systematically — reconciling accounts, correcting categorizations, and bringing your books fully current.
When cleanup is complete, your books are current and organized. At that point, we can move into ongoing monthly bookkeeping or hand off clean books to your CPA.
Cleanup projects are custom-scoped because every situation is different. The complexity of a cleanup depends on several factors:
Pricing is provided in writing after the discovery call and books review. We do not list prices on the website because a proper scope requires reviewing your actual situation first.

Monthly bookkeeping is custom-priced because businesses vary significantly in size, transaction volume, number of accounts, and reporting complexity. We do not use flat-rate pricing that ignores these differences.
After a discovery call and review of your QuickBooks file, we provide a clear monthly scope and pricing recommendation in writing.
If your books are currently behind or have never been reconciled, a cleanup project is typically completed first. Monthly bookkeeping on a clean foundation delivers accurate, reliable results. Monthly bookkeeping on a broken foundation does not.
Our engagement model is built around email-first communication. This keeps everything documented, organized, and easy to reference. At the start of an engagement, scheduled calls may be needed for onboarding or discovery. Ongoing calls are available by appointment when needed — not on an unscheduled "call anytime" basis.
This structure protects focus time so we can deliver accurate, quality bookkeeping work — not just fast replies.
Book a discovery call. We will talk through your current situation and show you what organized, current monthly bookkeeping looks like for your business.
Book a Discovery CallRoofing, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical businesses run on jobs — not just monthly revenue. Standard bookkeeping tells you what came in and what went out. Trades bookkeeping tells you which jobs made money and which ones cost you. That is a completely different level of visibility.
When books are not set up for trades, the P&L is useless. You see total revenue but have no idea if your best crew is profitable or if one job type is quietly killing your margins. We set it up so the numbers actually mean something.
We manage financials for a family roofing operation and have built our entire firm around trades bookkeeping. We do not need a learning curve — we understand how your business actually works.
Track income and expenses by job so you know which projects are actually profitable.
Organized tracking of all subcontractor payments throughout the year — no scrambling in January.
1099 tracking and filing for subcontractors and independent contractors. Available as an add-on service.
Project-based financial reporting so you can see performance by job, crew, or service type.
Many trades businesses come to us with books that were never set up correctly for job costing, or with subcontractor payments that were not tracked through the year.
If you are behind on 1099s, have subcontractor payments scattered across different categories, or cannot see job-level profitability in your books — a cleanup project is the right starting point. We correct the foundation before moving into ongoing monthly work.
No two trades operations are the same. A two-person plumbing company has very different needs than a roofing contractor with twenty active jobs, twelve subs, and material invoices across multiple vendors. We scope every engagement based on your actual operation.
After a discovery call and books review, we provide a clear written scope — what is included, what it costs, and what you can expect every month. No surprises.
Book a discovery call and let's talk through your operation — what you track, where the gaps are, and what bookkeeping should look like for a business like yours.

Get in TouchThomas Ledger Group was built around one core belief — that trades contractors deserve bookkeeping that actually reflects how their business works.
Thomas Ledger Group is a remote bookkeeping firm specializing in skilled trades contractors — roofing, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical. We provide QuickBooks setup, cleanup, job costing, and ongoing monthly bookkeeping built around how trades businesses actually operate.
Our background is in trades. We actively manage financials for a family roofing operation — so we understand job costing, subcontractor payments, material costs, insurance proceeds, and the financial complexity that comes with running a contractor business. We also serve service businesses and professional services who want organized, accurate books on a reliable schedule.
Our firm runs on a clear model: trades-specialized bookkeeping, email-first communication, scheduled calls only, and scoped pricing based on your actual operation. No surprises. No chasing clients for documents — everything runs through a client portal. No flat-rate pricing that ignores complexity.
We believe bookkeeping should reduce stress, not create more of it. When your books are clean and current, you can make better decisions, work more confidently with your CPA, and spend less time wondering if the numbers are right.
Every engagement begins with a discovery call and books review. We do not start work without a clear, written scope that both sides understand.
Primary communication is through email so everything is documented. Scheduled calls when needed — never unscheduled.
If books are behind or messy, cleanup happens first. Monthly bookkeeping on a broken foundation does not work — cleanup does.
We handle bookkeeping and financial organization only. Tax questions are directed to your CPA or EA. Clean division of responsibility.
We do not use flat-rate pricing. Every scope reflects the actual size, complexity, and needs of your business.
Clear scope, clear communication, clear expectations. Every engagement is organized before it starts and stays organized throughout.
Books that are wrong are worse than no books at all. Accuracy is the standard, not a goal — and it requires protected time and structured work.
We do what we say. We scope what we mean. We deliver what we commit to. No hidden scope creep, no vague promises.
Bookkeeping that scales with your business. Whether you are at $500k revenue or growing past $5M, the structure supports where you are going.
We work with clients who value professionalism, clear communication, and organized financial management. We are not the right fit for everyone — and that is intentional.
You should not dread tax season or feel uncertain about your numbers. Clean books and reliable reporting make the financial side of your business feel manageable.
We are selective about who we work with because the right client fit leads to better outcomes for everyone.
