In this case study, we’ll explore how Ledge Accounting provided her with peace of mind, reliable monthly financial reporting, and responsive communication that kept her business on track.

Background: From Real Estate to Senior Home Care

This franchise owner had experience managing finances for her husband’s real estate business, but it hadn’t been smooth sailing. After setting up QuickBooks Online herself, she faced errors that had to be cleaned up by her accountant. Reflecting on that experience, she admitted:

“Our accountant told me I had done the worst job of any client he’d ever had. That’s when I knew my skills were limited, and I wanted to have it set up properly from the very beginning.”

When she opened her senior home care franchise, she reached out to Ledge Accounting based on recommendations. By choosing Ledge right at the start, she ensured her financials were accurate and organized from day one.

The Problem: Why She Needed Help

For a growing senior home care business, managing financials can quickly become overwhelming. Here’s what the franchise owner struggled with:

  1. Past Experience with Financial Errors:
    After her difficult experience managing real estate bookkeeping, she wanted to avoid mistakes and start with a reliable system.

  2. Complex Software and Systems:
    Her franchise used various platforms and software that needed to communicate with each other seamlessly. She needed assurance that all data would be accurate and properly integrated.

  3. Limited Time and Expertise:
    Operating a senior care franchise meant juggling multiple responsibilities. She didn’t have the bandwidth—or confidence—to handle the financial side herself.

“You sent the monthly review every single month, without me ever having to ask. I always knew exactly where I stood.”

3. Exceptional Response Time

Quick and reliable communication was one of the standout aspects of her experience with Ledge. Whether she had a question about her financials or needed clarification, she always received a fast response.

“If I had a question, I didn’t have to worry about waiting a long time for an answer. Whether it was you or a team member, I always got a quick response.”

4. Seamless Integration with Software

Ledge ensured that all of the franchise’s software and systems worked together smoothly. She never had to worry about data not syncing correctly or errors in her reports.

“There were a lot of moving pieces in the business, but I never had to worry about it because you made sure everything was coordinated and accurate.”

Her experience with Ledge was so positive that she now wants to bring them on to handle her husband’s real estate business as well.

“My husband is now asking me to talk to you about helping with his real estate accounting business. I’ve recommended you to multiple people, including other franchise owners.”
