Your books live in one file on your Mac. No cloud, no account, no subscription. Just clean records and the reports your accountant actually wants.
Launching fall 2026. Free 14-day trial, no credit card. Then $50 USD, once.
Tabs for every month, formulas nobody trusts, and a year-end scramble to make it add up.
Payroll, inventory, multi-entity consolidation, and a monthly bill, when all you needed was clean books.
Your finances on someone else's server, behind a login, at a price that goes up every year.
Three things make books make sense: accounts (where the money sits), categories (what it was for) and payees (who you paid, or who paid you). LedgerCaddy gives you those, then gets out of the way. Record what happened, tick it off against your bank statement, and the reports are simply there.
No accounting degree required. A built-in guide walks every screen, and the Sample Book lets you try everything before you touch your own numbers.
Income and expenses in seconds. Payees and tax remembered for you.
Accounts, categories and payees keep everything in its place.
See where the money goes. Reconcile, which just means checking your entries against the bank statement.
Professional reports whenever you need them: print, PDF or CSV.
These are real pages from the Sample Book, exactly as LedgerCaddy prints them. Every report also exports to PDF and CSV.
One button assembles the reports your accountant asks for into a single PDF: the Income and Expense Summary, Account Balances, the Tax Summary and the full Transaction Listing, all for the same period, all from the same books.
Send one file. Keep a copy. Done.
Filter any report by date, account, category, payee or status. Sort by any column. Pin the ones you run every month.
No subscription. No tiers. Try it, buy it, and keep updates coming only if you want them.
Fourteen days with every feature. No credit card, nothing to cancel.
Pay once and own LedgerCaddy. Use it for as long as you like.
After your first year, renew to keep getting new releases.
You renew from inside the app. Nothing to set up now.
✓ Prices in US dollars. Everything runs locally on your Mac. No cloud required, ever.
I'm Rick Thompson. I run a small company, DART Management Inc., and LedgerCaddy started as the bookkeeping app I wanted for my own records: something that kept great books and produced reports my accountant would actually use, without a subscription, a login, or a hundred features I would never touch.
It is built the way I think small-business software should be built. Your books are one file on your Mac, in a standard SQLite format, so they are never trapped. You buy it once. And when you email support, you reach the person who wrote it.

Really. $50 USD buys LedgerCaddy outright with 12 months of updates. After that, $20 USD a year is optional. Skip it and the version you have keeps working forever.
In one file on your Mac, wherever you choose to keep it. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no account. Back it up like any other document; LedgerCaddy also keeps automatic backups.
Yes. Import a CSV export from your spreadsheet or bank, or a backup from Easy Books, and LedgerCaddy walks you through matching accounts and categories.
That is the point. The Period Pack assembles the year-end reports accountants ask for into one PDF, and every report also exports to CSV.
