Why Tanya Trusts Ledge Accounting for Her Fitness Businesses

Managing two fitness franchises—Club Pilates and Pure Barre—is no easy feat. For Tanya Schrader, who owns studios in Cincinnati, Ohio, staying on top of bookkeeping, remits, and monthly financials quickly became overwhelming. Like many fitness studio owners, Tanya wanted to focus on growing her business and delivering excellent client experiences—not reconciling spreadsheets.

That’s when Tanya partnered with Ledge Accounting, a decision that transformed her approach to managing her financials and gave her the peace of mind to focus on what truly matters.

Background: Tanya’s Journey as a Fitness Studio Owner

Tanya’s fitness business journey began when she opened her Pure Barre studio three years ago. In addition to running this franchise, she later expanded her portfolio by purchasing a Club Pilates location two years ago. Owning two fitness studios was both a natural step forward and a significant challenge.

Before partnering with Ledge Accounting, Tanya managed her financials herself using spreadsheets, along with some support from her CPA. However, as her businesses grew, so did the complexity of her bookkeeping.

ClubReady is a beast, and those remits are confusing,” Tanya admitted. “I ignored them because they were so overwhelming.”

Despite her dedication, Tanya realized she needed a reliable solution to ensure her financials were accurate, organized, and ready to review.

The Problem: Bookkeeping Challenges Holding Tanya Back

Tanya faced several hurdles before partnering with Ledge Accounting:

  1. Manual Spreadsheets Were Inconsistent:
    Managing her own bookkeeping on spreadsheets left room for error and made financial tracking unreliable.

  2. Complexity of Fitness Platforms:
    Platforms like ClubReady created confusion, especially with remits that required meticulous attention to detail.

  3. Limited Time and Expertise:
    As a fitness studio owner, Tanya realized bookkeeping wasn’t her expertise. She wanted to focus on growing her studios instead of constantly worrying about her financials.

“I needed somebody who really was much better with numbers,” Tanya explained. “Bookkeeping is not my forte. I’d rather know it’s getting done correctly every month.”

The Solution: Hands-Free Bookkeeping with Ledge Accounting

When Tanya partnered with Ledge Accounting, she gained more than just bookkeeping services—she gained a team that genuinely cared about her success. Here’s how Ledge helped Tanya:

Ledge Accounting provided Tanya with concise, detailed monthly financial reports that broke down exactly where her money was going.

“The monthly summary is so valuable. I just couldn’t imagine not having it as part of my business. It’s instrumental to know where my money is going and how it’s broken down,” Tanya shared.

2. Expertise with ClubReady

Ledge’s experience with fitness platforms like ClubReady eliminated Tanya’s frustrations with remits and financial tracking.

“Having your expertise and your patience to go through ClubReady has been eye-opening,” Tanya said.

3. Responsive and Reliable Communication

Tanya highlighted Ledge’s exceptional response time as one of the biggest benefits. Anytime she had questions—even about the most random topics—she received quick and helpful answers.

“Your response time is amazing. I love the service, I love what you bring, and I know I can trust it,” Tanya said.

4. Peace of Mind

By entrusting her bookkeeping to Ledge Accounting, Tanya gained confidence that her financials were handled accurately and on time every month.

“It’s worth the time and money to go to somebody who knows what they’re doing. I trust you. I don’t trust myself,” Tanya explained.
