Built for how small businesses actually work.
Spreadsheets break down. FreeLedger doesn't.
Most small business owners start with a spreadsheet. Then invoices get missed, receipts get lost, and tax season becomes a scramble.
FreeLedger keeps invoices, expenses, and reports in one place — so nothing falls through the cracks.
Features
Everything your books need. Nothing you don't.
Invoicing, expense tracking, and tax-ready reports — the core of bookkeeping, without the complexity.
Invoices
Create and send professional invoices in minutes. Track paid, unpaid, and overdue at a glance.
Income & Expenses
Log every dollar in and out. Categorize transactions so your books stay accurate year-round.
Bank CSV Import
Import transactions straight from your bank's CSV export. No manual typing, no missed entries.
Search & Filters
Find any transaction by description, category or amount, and narrow the ledger to a month, a quarter or a category — with the totals to match.
Reports
Profit & loss and cash flow over any date range — generated automatically as you work.
Tax Summary
A Schedule C worksheet with every expense on its numbered line, quarterly estimated tax dates, and sales tax by state.
Client Management
Keep client details, invoice history, and notes together in one simple record.
PDF & CSV Export
Invoices and reports as clean PDFs, and your transactions as CSV — exactly what your accountant asks for.
