A clean process for cleaning up the numbers.
Getting accounting support should not feel like entering a maze built by someone who hates calendars. Worldwide Ledger uses a simple process to review your needs, set up the workflow, and keep your financial records moving.
Built to be straightforward
We start with where your business is now, then build the bookkeeping, payroll, or tax workflow around what you actually need.
Review
We look at your current records, systems, payroll setup, tax needs, and the general financial archaeology situation.
Organize
We help gather documents, clarify access, define responsibilities, and set up the monthly workflow.
Maintain
Once the system is in place, we keep records updated, payroll on schedule, and reporting useful.
The Worldwide Ledger process
Five steps. No unnecessary drama.
Free consultation
We start with a conversation about your business, current accounting setup, services needed, deadlines, and the pain points making your life unnecessarily theatrical.
Records review
We review what you currently have: bank statements, payroll records, accounting software, tax documents, prior reports, and anything else hiding in the digital junk drawer.
Proposal and setup
After reviewing the situation, we provide a clear proposal with services, pricing, responsibilities, and setup requirements.
Monthly workflow begins
We begin processing the agreed work: bookkeeping, payroll, reports, cleanup, or tax preparation support depending on the service package.
Reports, review, and support
You receive organized records and useful reporting. We review key items, answer questions, and adjust the process as your business changes.
What we may need from you
The exact list depends on the service, but here are the usual suspects.
For bookkeeping
Common items needed to start or maintain monthly books:
- Bank and credit card statements
- Access to company's Quickbooks, if applicable
- Sales reports and payment processor records
- Loan, lease, or financing documents
- Expense receipts for unusual or unclear transactions
For payroll and tax
Common items needed for payroll setup or tax preparation:
- Employee and contractor information
- Prior payroll reports or filings
- EIN, entity documents, and business information
- Prior year tax returns, if relevant
- Year-end forms, income records, and deduction support
What to expect after onboarding
Once the workflow is active, the goal is consistency: monthly organization, clear communication, and fewer accounting emergencies spawned by neglect.
