The ledger, reimagined for the corp of one.
Canada has about 1.3 million active corporations. Roughly a third have no employees beyond the owner. That shape of business has grown faster than any other segment for a decade, and the software built for it has not kept up.
This is the catch-up.
Active and registered, growing every quarter.
The corp of one. The fastest-growing segment.
Bank sync, tax, handbook, handoff. One place.
01. The shape of the problem
A 1-person corp has had two bad options for a decade.
Option one is a color-coded spreadsheet that grows through the year until nobody can read it, including the person who built it. It breaks at the first GST return. It breaks again at year-end. Every March, the accountant rebuilds it from source documents anyway, and charges for the rebuild.
Option two is accounting software built for accounting firms. Multi-user seat pricing, a feature set that assumes payroll for ten employees, a US-first tax model with Canadian functionality bolted on, and a user interface designed for bookkeepers who see twenty clients a week. For a founder looking at their own books once a month, the cognitive load is higher than the work itself.
Neither option was built for the person who, on a single Tuesday afternoon, is the founder, the bookkeeper, and the accountant-liaison. That person is the fastest-growing kind of business owner in Canada. Nothing on the shelf is shaped for them. Ledg is the third option.
02. Where the ledger lives
In most products, the ledger is an afterthought. We make it the centerpiece.
The ledger is a report you pull at year-end. Everything else is the product.
The ledger is the primary surface. Everything else is a view on top of it.
03. The principles we build by
Six rules we argue against ourselves with, every week.
Ledger-first
The general ledger is the product, not a report buried three menus deep. Every line is visible, every balance reconcilable, every entry explainable.
Canadian-native
GST, HST, and PST per province. The Small Business Deduction and CCPC rules. T2 inputs shaped the way your accountant wants to receive them. Not a US product with CAD stamped on top.
Developer-friendly
Open data formats. CSV and JSON export on every view. API access on the roadmap. Your data is your data. If you ever leave, you leave with a complete ledger, no lock-in.
AI that explains
AI categorizes with reasons, not verdicts. Every suggestion links to the tax rule that informs it. The founder approves, the machine proposes. The judgment stays human.
Integrated, not isolated
Ledg connects to the corp's bank for sync, to the accountant for handoff, to the CRA for filings, to the founder's existing tools for continuity. The ledger sits in the middle, not on an island.
Founder-first
Designed for the person who is the founder, the bookkeeper, and the accountant-liaison all at once. No multi-seat enterprise features. No 10-user payroll. No bloat for a team that does not exist.
04. What we are building
A rolling roadmap. We ship, we listen, we change the next quarter's list.
- ·Plaid bank sync across Canadian Big 5 and more
- ·GST and PST tracked per line, Canadian-correct
- ·Handbook with 154 corporate tax references, cited inline
- ·Stage and Ledger with Linear-style filters and commits
- ·Reconciliation with opening-balance anchor and running totals
- ·Accountant handoff pack: general ledger, trial balance, GST summary, bank reconciliation
- ·Income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow statement
- ·AI category assist that cites the CRA rule behind each guess
- ·Public changelog as a first-class marketing surface
- ·Multi-account reconciliation with deeper statement matching
- ·Investor and lender summary one-pager export
- ·Developer API and webhooks for piping Ledg data elsewhere
- ·Direct CRA filing for GST/HST and T2 when a 1-person corp is eligible
- ·Accountant workspace: view-only seat per client, audit trail
- ·Real-time collaboration when you pull a bookkeeper in for a month
- ·Mobile-first categorize-from-your-phone workflow
We do not ship every item on the planned list exactly as written. We listen to what founders actually reach for, and we reorder. The list is public on purpose.
05. The culture
Continuous craft.
We ship weekly. Every week closes with a changelog entry that names what moved, what got better, what broke and got fixed. The changelog is a public document. Our team reads it, our users read it, our accountant partners read it.
We take opinions from founders who actually run a 1-person Canadian corporation, not from generic feature requests. When a small CPA practice tells us the handoff pack is missing a column, we add the column the same week. When a founder tells us the categorization step slowed them down, we redesign it. The product is the ongoing conversation.
We do not plan to be finished. A bookkeeping tool for Canadian corporations is not a project with a ship date. It is a medium-sized country's tax code changing every budget cycle, a new crop of incorporations every month, and an evolving set of things that banks and the CRA will let software do. We intend to keep showing up for all of it.
