SOUND FAMILIAR?
The shop closes.
The admin doesn't.
A shift change in a chat. Hours on a scrap of paper. One more question from the accountant. We want to help bring it all together, so your evening can be yours again.
A SMALLER PILE. A CLEARER PICTURE.
From scattered notes
to a clearer next step.
Our first focus is payroll preparation: organize the inputs, surface the questions, and prepare a summary for review. Explore the sample below.

A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER
Small businesses deserve
to feel understood.
Behind every small business is someone who remembers a regular customer's name, fills in for a teammate, and takes the paperwork home.
I'm Charlie, the founder of LedgerPorch. I'm exploring how AI can take some of the friction out of that last part — starting with payroll preparation for Chinese-speaking business owners in the U.S.
We're early, and listening comes first. If you run a small business or work in accounting or payroll, I'd love to hear what a better working week would look like for you.

Say hello to Charlie BEFORE WE SAY HELLO
A few good
questions.
Can I use LedgerPorch today?
We're in discovery and early development. You can explore the sample workflow here and talk directly with the founder to help shape what comes next.
Who are you building for?
We're starting with Chinese-speaking owners of U.S. small businesses, including retail, wholesale, beauty and home services, who regularly prepare information for payroll.
Will you pay my team or file taxes?
Our initial focus is preparing information for human review. We do not currently move money, process payroll, file taxes or provide licensed accounting services. Future execution would require appropriate professional and service-provider arrangements.
Do I need to share business documents to get in touch?
No. A conversation about your day-to-day challenges is enough. Please don't send employee records, payroll files, bank details or other sensitive information.
GOOD THINGS START WITH HELLO
Good conversations.
Better working days.
Tell us what keeps you at the desk after closing. Your experience can help shape what we build.
