Description

Ledgers was founded by a team of professional accountants in Sydney, Nova Scotia, who identified the need for consistent, professional, and affordable bookkeeping services for small businesses. Recognizing a gap between the high costs of large firms and the limitations of local bookkeepers, the concept of Ledgers was born. In 1997, after two years of development, the first franchise was awarded to Terry Bachmann in Moncton, New Brunswick, who played a pivotal role in shaping the marketing and operational models still in use today. Acquired in 2000 and relocated to Newmarket, Ontario, Ledgers underwent rebranding to become Ledgers Professional Services, reflecting its expanded suite of offerings. Over the years, the adoption of cloud-based technology, partnerships with Intuit for QuickBooks Online, and the creation of the Central Processing System have fueled growth and efficiency. Celebrating over 25 years in business, Ledgers now operates more than 50 franchise locations across Canada, solidifying its position as the nation’s #1 full-service accounting franchise, capable of serving businesses anywhere through 100% cloud-based solutions.
