Our Story

Ledger Bookkeeping Co was built on a simple idea: small business owners deserve books that work for them — not a source of dread they avoid until tax season forces their hand.

Founder Kristi Smith started working in accounting before she even finished her degree, eventually earning her BS in Accounting while already deep in the field. In 1999, she launched what would become Ledger Bookkeeping Co — and started working remotely with clients long before remote work was a common, let alone trusted, way to run a business. That early experience shaped everything: how to communicate clearly without being in the same room, how to build systems clients could rely on, and how to deliver consistent results without needing to be constantly “on.”

Over the years, Kristi’s career grew alongside her business — moving into corporate roles as VP of Sales & Business Development and later General Manager of a fully remote law firm, all while continuing to run her own bookkeeping practice. That dual path gave her a rare vantage point: she’s sat on both sides of the table, as the business owner needing clean books and as the executive relying on accurate numbers to make real decisions.

That experience shapes how Ledger Bookkeeping Co operates today: with clear processes, predictable timelines, and zero chaos. No emergency fire drills, no constant interruptions — just steady, accurate books delivered on a rhythm you can count on.

At Ledger Bookkeeping Co, we believe good bookkeeping should feel calm. We handle the numbers with consistency and care so you have the clarity — and the time — to actually run and grow the business you set out to build.
