The FreshBooks alternative for
Canadian corporate bookkeeping.
FreshBooks is invoice software with a bookkeeping module bolted on. Ledg is a double-entry ledger built for Canadian incorporated corporations, with T2 and GIFI as defaults. If your accountant asks for a GIFI-mapped export and you are still clicking through Lite, Plus, and Premium to find a report, this is the switch.
No credit card. Free up to 100 ledger entries. Data stays in Canada.
Why Canadian corporations switch from FreshBooks to Ledg
Ledger-first, not invoice-first
FreshBooks started as an invoicing tool and grew into accounting. Ledg started as a double-entry ledger for Canadian corporations and nothing else was allowed to bend that. The chart of accounts is the primary object, invoices are a derived one.
GIFI-mapped T2 exports
Ledg's chart of accounts aligns to CRA GIFI codes out of the box. Your year-end hand-off to a CPA is a clean export that maps to schedule 100 and schedule 125 on the T2, not a PDF of an income statement.
A Canadian corporate tax handbook, built in
154 entries on CCPC tax, GST/HST, shareholder loans, payroll, and GIFI. Linked inline from your books. No help center spelunking, no chatbot guessing at Section 15.
Predictable single-tier pricing
Free up to 100 ledger entries. Solo at $9 CAD per month for unlimited entries. No Lite/Plus/Premium ladder, no per-client pricing, no upsell when you want a report your accountant can use.
