Still Using a Manual Ledger?

Meet the Electronic Transaction Ledger That Simplifies Bookkeeping for Small Businesses and Self-Employed Professionals

Let’s face it, many small business owners still track their sales and expenses using pen, paper, and those 8-column ledger books you find at the office supply store.

It’s familiar. It works, sort of. But when it’s time to do taxes, apply for a loan, or simply see where your money is going…It’s not enough.

Sound like you?

Your bookkeeper asks for a summary, and all you have are handwritten notes.
You spend hours manually adding up expenses and trying to total monthly revenue.
You miss tax write-offs because you can’t easily categorize or filter your transactions.

That’s why we created the Electronic Transaction Ledger, a digital, editable, and easy-to-use version of your classic ledger, designed to make your bookkeeping faster, cleaner, and CRA-compliant.

The Problem: Manual Ledgers Waste Time and Risk Errors

Whether you're a contractor, hair stylist, tradesperson, consultant, or side hustler — many self-employed folks don’t have access to accounting software or don’t feel confident using it.

Instead, they rely on manual entry in paper ledgers.

✅ The structure makes sense.

❌ But it doesn’t calculate totals.

❌ It doesn’t sort or summarize categories.

❌ It doesn’t generate clean reports for tax filing.

At tax time, your bookkeeper or accountant ends up spending extra hours (and charges extra fees) to transfer the data into a digital format, and you’re still left wondering how your business is really doing month to month.

The Solution: Electronic Transaction Ledger

This template is the modern upgrade to the traditional ledger book, keeping everything you liked about the structure, and improving everything you didn’t.

It’s designed to help you:

Record, review, and organize your transactions
Automatically total your income, expenses, and tax collected or paid
See monthly summaries for easy decision-making
Export and send to your bookkeeper without the paper shuffle
