Bookkeeping services the Durham Region.
We’re based in Ajax, so the Durham Region is home. We set up a real accounting system for your Ajax, Pickering, Whitby or Oshawa business and run it, so your books keep themselves while you run the day.
Local, without the local price tag
Pocket Ledger was built here, by a business owner who got tired of expensive software and scattered receipts. We work with cafés, shops and trades across Durham — and because we’re local, an occasional in-person conversation is easy if you want one.
It’s the whole department — invoices, bills, payroll, HST, receipts and reports — set up around your business and run for one fixed monthly price. You use it from a chat you already have. See what’s included or the price.
By the way you work
We set the books up around your trade, not a generic template:
Cafés
A café runs on small margins and a hundred little transactions a day.
Restaurants
Restaurants have more moving parts than almost any small business — high volume, thin margins, and a lot of suppliers.
Retail & online
Whether you sell from a storefront, a Shopify store, or both, the books have to keep up with sales, stock and cost of goods.
Trades
On the tools all day, the paperwork waits until the evening — or the weekend, or tax time.
Salons
A salon mixes service income, retail product, tips and a team that might be staff or chair renters.
Consultants
When you’re the business, bookkeeping is the thing that slips first.
Areas we serve
Ajax, Pickering, Whitby, Oshawa, Clarington, Scarborough — and the rest of the province. We work remotely across Ontario; see Toronto, Ottawa, Mississauga, Hamilton, London.
Questions
Are you actually local to Durham?
Yes — we’re in Ajax. Most of the work is done over chat and video like anywhere else, but being local means we can meet in person when it helps.
Why did you start this in Durham?
It started as a fix for our own business: predictable costs, a real accounting system, and a way to do the books from a phone. We’re building it for ourselves first and offering it to other Ontario owners as we go.
