CASE STUDY: How One Business Cut Bookkeeping Costs by 35% with Ledgion FSO

When the financials are messy, costly, and time-consuming, something has to give. For one U.S.-based service business, that "something" was their entire approach to bookkeeping, and the results speak for themselves.

The Challenge: High Costs, Low Confidence

With a team of eight, this service-based business had a full-time, in-house bookkeeper. But despite the investment, the owner still found themselves correcting entries, reviewing reports, and losing sleep over tax season.

• Financial reports were inconsistent

• Errors in the books were frequent

• Oversight fell on the owner, taking time away from growth

• The cost of the role (salary, benefits, and management time) kept climbing

In short: they were paying a premium for a process that still felt broken.

The Turning Point: A Smarter Bookkeeping Solution

That’s when they found Ledgion FSO and everything changed.

Rather than continuing to pay for a bloated in-house setup, the business made the switch to Ledgion’s remote-first, controller-guided model:

• A dedicated certified bookkeeper with hands-on experience

• Financial Controller oversight to ensure precision and consistency

• A free 1-week onboarding to align systems and expectations

• A flat-rate monthly fee with zero surprises or hidden costs
