About EmLedger
EmLedger is a multi-entity accounting platform designed for businesses and professionals who have outgrown managing a single set of books. It is built from the ground up to handle unlimited LLCs, subsidiaries, franchise locations, rental properties, brands, or client accounts all from one secure login. Unlike traditional accounting software like QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, and Wave, which charge per company and require separate logins for each entity, EmLedger provides a unified workspace where each entity operates with its own real double-entry ledger, chart of accounts, and audit trail. This means you can switch between entities in one click or consolidate financial data instantly across any group of entities. The platform automatically handles inter-company transactions and eliminations, generating consolidated profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports without the need for manual Excel work. EmLedger is ideal for bookkeepers and CPAs managing multiple clients, franchise owners overseeing multiple locations, holding companies with diverse subsidiaries, property managers with numerous rental units, serial founders running multiple businesses, and multi-brand e-commerce operators. The core value proposition is simple: one flat tier price regardless of how many entities you run, with every plan including all 140+ features, 36+ reports, unlimited users, unlimited transactions, and unlimited bank connections. This eliminates the costly per-entity fees that make traditional software so expensive for multi-entity operators. EmLedger's collaborative approach ensures your entire team works from the same source of truth, fostering synergy across entities and eliminating the friction of managing separate subscriptions and logins.
Features of EmLedger
Native Multi-Entity Architecture
EmLedger is built with multi-entity as the default, not an afterthought. Every entity in your portfolio gets its own chart of accounts, customers, vendors, bank feeds, and tax settings, all housed within a single platform you log into once. This architecture provides real entity isolation for security and compliance while enabling seamless switching between entities with one click. Your team can work across multiple books without ever leaving the same screen, reducing login fatigue and administrative overhead. The system supports entity hierarchies and groupings, allowing you to organize your entities logically for better management and reporting.
Automated Consolidated Reporting
EmLedger transforms consolidated financial reporting from a painful manual process into an automated, audit-ready workflow. The platform generates consolidated profit and loss statements, balance sheets, and cash flow reports across any group of entities with a single click. Inter-company transactions are tracked and eliminations are applied automatically, eliminating the need to export data to Excel and stitch books together by hand. This feature saves hours of manual work each month and reduces the risk of errors that come with manual consolidation. Your team can collaborate on consolidated reports in real time, ensuring everyone has access to the same accurate financial picture.
Unlimited Users and Feature Access
Every EmLedger plan includes unlimited users and full access to all 140+ features and 36+ reports. There are no per-seat fees, no feature gates, and no hidden add-ons. Your pricing tier determines only how many entities you can run, not which features you can use. This means your entire team, including bookkeepers, accountants, managers, and stakeholders, can collaborate within the platform without additional costs. Features like inventory management, fixed assets tracking, budgeting, 1099 compliance, and advanced financial reporting are available on every plan. This approach fosters team synergy by removing barriers to access and ensuring everyone works with the complete toolset.
Per-Entity Bank Feeds and Chart of Accounts
EmLedger allows you to connect bank feeds for each entity independently, ensuring that transactions flow directly into the correct ledger without manual sorting. Each entity maintains its own chart of accounts, customized to its specific business needs, while still being part of the broader portfolio. This feature is critical for maintaining accurate, separate books for each LLC, subsidiary, or property. The system also supports entity-level permissions and settings, so you can control who has access to which entity's financial data. This granular control enables your team to work collaboratively across entities while maintaining proper segregation of duties and data privacy.
Use Cases of EmLedger
Bookkeepers and CPAs Managing Multiple Clients
For bookkeepers and CPAs, EmLedger eliminates the need for separate subscriptions and logins for each client. You manage all client books from one screen, switching between entities in a single click. This allows you to bring on more accounts without bringing on more subscriptions, significantly reducing your overhead costs. Your entire firm can collaborate on client work within the same platform, with unlimited users included on every tier. The consolidated reporting feature enables you to produce portfolio-wide reports for your practice, while per-entity isolation ensures each client's data remains confidential. This collaborative workflow streamlines your practice and allows you to charge for value and capacity rather than per-seat overhead.
Franchise Owners Overseeing Multiple Locations
Franchise owners can manage each location's books independently while maintaining a consolidated view of the entire franchise network. EmLedger's per-entity chart of accounts and bank feeds ensure each location's financial data is accurate and isolated, while automated consolidated reporting provides the big-picture financial health of the entire network. Inter-company transactions between locations are tracked and eliminated automatically, simplifying complex franchise accounting. Your corporate team and location managers can collaborate within the same platform, with entity-level permissions ensuring the right people see the right data. This synergy across locations enables better decision-making and operational efficiency.
Holding Companies with Diverse Subsidiaries
Holding companies managing multiple LLCs or subsidiaries benefit from EmLedger's ability to maintain separate books for each entity while providing instant consolidated financial statements. The platform automatically handles inter-company transactions and eliminations, producing audit-ready consolidated P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reports. Entity hierarchies and groupings allow you to organize subsidiaries by industry, region, or any other logical structure. Your finance team can collaborate across all entities from a single login, eliminating the inefficiency of managing multiple software subscriptions and logins. This unified approach provides the financial clarity needed to make informed strategic decisions for the entire portfolio.
Property Managers with Multiple Rental Properties
Property managers running multiple rental properties can use EmLedger to maintain separate books for each property, with per-entity bank feeds, chart of accounts, and tax settings. This ensures each property's financial performance is accurately tracked for owner reporting and tax compliance. Consolidated reporting across the entire portfolio provides a clear picture of overall financial health, while inter-company transaction tracking handles transfers between properties or management fees. Your property management team can collaborate efficiently, with unlimited users included on every plan. This eliminates the per-property fees that make traditional software expensive for property managers, allowing you to scale your portfolio without scaling your software costs.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does EmLedger handle inter-company transactions and eliminations?
EmLedger automatically tracks all inter-company transactions between entities within your portfolio. When you record a transaction between two entities, the system logs it in both ledgers and applies the necessary eliminations during consolidation. This means your consolidated profit and loss, balance sheet, and cash flow reports are always accurate and audit-ready without any manual adjustments. The elimination process is fully automated, saving you hours of manual work and reducing the risk of errors that come with manual consolidation in Excel.
Can I import my existing data from QuickBooks, Xero, or other accounting software?
Yes, EmLedger supports data migration from most major accounting platforms including QuickBooks, Xero, FreshBooks, and Wave. The import process is designed to be smooth and comprehensive, transferring your chart of accounts, historical transactions, customer and vendor lists, and other critical data. Our team provides guidance and support during the migration process to ensure a seamless transition. You can also run both systems in parallel during a transition period to verify data accuracy before fully committing to EmLedger.
What happens if I exceed my entity limit on my current plan?
If you exceed the entity limit on your current plan, you can easily upgrade to the next tier to accommodate your growing portfolio. EmLedger offers three pricing tiers: Solo (1-3 entities), Growth (4-15 entities), and Enterprise (16+ entities). Upgrading is instant and does not require any data migration or setup changes. All your existing entities, data, and configurations remain intact. The Enterprise tier offers custom pricing for larger portfolios, and our team works with you to find the most cost-effective solution for your needs.
Is my data secure and isolated between entities?
Absolutely. EmLedger is built with robust security and data isolation at its core. Each entity operates with its own real double-entry ledger, chart of accounts, customers, vendors, and bank feeds. Entity-level permissions ensure that only authorized users can access specific entities. The data is encrypted both in transit and at rest, and we follow industry best practices for security and compliance. While all entities live in one platform for your convenience, they are fully isolated from each other from a data perspective, ensuring confidentiality and integrity across your entire portfolio.
Pricing of EmLedger
EmLedger offers three straightforward pricing tiers based on the number of entities you need to manage, with no per-entity fees and no feature gating.
