Three steps, no setup

Ledger IQ doesn't need last year's mapping or a chart-of-accounts template. It starts cold.

01

Upload the trial balance

Drop in the client's TB from Excel or CSV, straight out of QuickBooks or whatever they use.

02

Review mappings, post entries

AI suggests a tax line for every account. You approve or change each one and post any AJEs.

03

Export to your tax software

Download the import file, the working TB and the AJE report. Re-exporting the same return is always free.

Questions

Do I need last year's mapping or any setup?

No. Ledger IQ maps a trial balance cold. Upload it, review the suggested tax lines, and export.

Which tax software and returns does it support?

Lacerte, UltraTax CS and Drake Tax, for 1065, 1120 and 1120-S returns. CCH Axcess and ProSystem fx aren't supported yet.

Does the AI make the final call on mappings?

No. Every suggestion waits for you to approve or change it, and nothing exports until it's reviewed.

How do I get the bonus credits?

Buy any amount and the first 5 are added to your account. For the other 5, post on LinkedIn about Ledger IQ and send us the link through ledgeriq.ai. They're added once the post is confirmed.

Run one client through it before the season

Your first return is free. No card, no setup, about as long as it takes to review the mappings.
