Local-first company files
Create, open, back up, move, and share SQLite-backed .ledger files without placing your books in a vendor-controlled cloud.
Product capabilities
The books, connected from entry to report.
The Ledger brings day-to-day accounting workflows together over one shared accounting engine. Features are still evolving, which is exactly why every download includes a full 30-day trial.
Current product

Payroll schedules, calculated runs, paychecks, liability tracking, payments, adjustments, and supporting history.
Reporting dimensions
Funds and flexible report layouts live in the accounting engine, not as decorative spreadsheet labels.

Audit-minded history
Transaction history, validation, reconciliation evidence, workpapers, and drilldowns make it easier to understand how a number was produced.
The boundary matters
Your accounting data is not our subscription leverage.
Licensing may contact McMurry Software to start a trial or activate a purchase. Update checks may contact our release service. Ordinary accounting work stays between The Ledger and the files and storage locations you choose.
