WHO WE ARE

The Expert Behind Your Books

Manuela Graells founded Rode Ledger after years of watching small business owners overpay their CPAs, miss tax deadlines, and make expensive decisions based on inaccurate financial records — all because they didn’t have proper bookkeeping support.

With a deep knowledge in accounting and a specialty in niche industries like catering, creative production, and freelance services, Manuela brings both technical expertise and industry knowledge to keep your books truly accurate — not just “close enough.”

Her approach is simple: clean records every month, clear reports you can actually understand, and a partner who’s proactive, not someone you only hear from when something goes wrong.

FAQ — OBJECTIONS WE HEAR & THE TRUTH

Common Questions Answered Honestly
My business is too small to need a bookkeeper.
The smaller your business, the more every dollar matters. Most of our clients are small businesses with 1-15 employees. The IRS doesn’t give small businesses a pass on accurate records. A bookkeeper isn’t a luxury; it’s what prevents small financial errors from becoming expensive problems.
CPAs are tax strategists, not bookkeepers. Most CPAs charge $150-$400/hr for their time. When they’re cleaning up your records, you’re paying premium rates for basic bookkeeping work. Most clients cut their CPA bills significantly after hiring us.
DIY bookkeeping often creates a false sense of security. The most common issues: misclassified transactions, unreconciled accounts, and missing records that create major headaches at tax time. We make sure your software is working correctly and in a way your CPA can actually use.
Consider what you’re currently spending: CPA cleanup fees, tax extension penalties, missed deductions, and hours of your own time every month. Most clients find that our services pay for themselves within the first few months.
We take confidentiality seriously. All client data is handled through secure, encrypted cloud platforms. We operate under strict professional confidentiality standards, and we’re happy to sign an NDA before we begin.
