The Xero alternative for
Canadian corporations.
Xero is a global tool with Canadian rules layered on. Ledg is a Canadian-first bookkeeping product for incorporated corporations, at half the monthly cost. T2 and GIFI are the defaults. GST/HST and PST are tracked the way the CRA expects. Your accountant gets a clean hand-off pack, not a ZIP of CSVs they have to reshape.
No credit card. Free up to 100 ledger entries. Data stays in Canada.
Why Canadian corporations switch from Xero to Ledg
Canadian-first, not multi-country first
Xero ships a single product to thirty markets and bolts on each country's tax rules. Ledg starts at the CRA. T2 schedules, GIFI codes, GST/HST and PST are the defaults, not configuration buried under five settings menus.
Half the monthly cost
Xero Starter is $18 CAD per month and caps invoices and bills before you reach 50 entries. Ledg Solo is $9 CAD per month for unlimited ledger entries on a single corporation. The Free plan covers up to 100 entries, enough to evaluate properly.
T2 hand-off, not a ZIP of CSVs
Xero exports trial balances and detail reports; turning them into a T2 is your accountant's problem. Ledg exports a GIFI-mapped trial balance and the Schedule 100 / 125 layout your CPA actually files. The hand-off pack lands on their desk already done.
An accountant share that doesn't cost extra
On Xero, an accountant or bookkeeper sits on a separate Partner plan with its own seat economics. On Ledg, you invite your accountant by email; they get read-only access on the same plan you're already paying. No commission, no upsell, no friction.
