Frequently asked questions
For getting tax-ready books, yes. Ledger Lite costs $29/month versus $38–$115/month for QuickBooks Online plans (Intuit published pricing, July 2026), and it categorizes transactions automatically with AI. QuickBooks still does more beyond bookkeeping — invoicing and payroll — which Ledger Lite does not do yet. If your goal is clean books and a tax-ready year-end, Lite does that job for less.
Ledger Lite is $29/month (or $24.65/month billed annually), with unlimited transactions. There is a free trial, and no long-term contract.
Ledger Lite prepares your books and your year-end tax package. Actual tax preparation and filing is done by Fidelis’s licensed tax practice — real professionals, not software — and because your books already live in Ledger Lite, they start with everything they need. You can also take your year-end package to any outside preparer.
Bank connections run through Plaid with read-only access and bank-level encryption. Fidelis never sells your data, and your books are never shared outside the Fidelis ecosystem without your consent.
About 60 seconds: create an account, connect your business bank through Plaid, and Ledger Lite begins categorizing your transaction history immediately.
