Bookkeeping & Backend Support for 

Travel Agents, Podcasters, & Creators

Podcasters

We work with podcasters who are juggling sponsors, editors, merch, affiliate links, inconsistent income, and a whole lot of backend chaos. From tracking Patreon payouts to cleaning up your Venmo spaghetti, we’ll help you turn your podcast into an actual business — without making you hate spreadsheets more than you already do.

Creators

We support lifestyle influencers, content creators, and creative entrepreneurs who are building real businesses — even if your Grandpa Fred still thinks “Instagram” is a phase.

Built for creative entrepreneurs who know their worth, and are ready to scale with support that matches it.


You’ve built something brilliant, whether it’s a podcast that pulls in sponsors, a travel brand with serious buzz, or a business that doesn’t fit in a neat little box (and never will). But behind the scenes? You need clean numbers, smooth systems, and someone to help you keep it all together without slowing you down.

That’s where we come in.


At Beyond the Ledger, we handle your bookkeeping, payroll, and backend setup with the same creativity, clarity, and obsession with excellence that you bring to your own work. No fluff. No confusion. Just the support you didn’t know you needed — until now.

MONTHLY BOOKKEEPING

Monthly categorization, reconciliations, and clean, customized reports that are built for travel agencies who’ve outgrown spreadsheets but aren’t here for stiff, corporate bookkeeping.

We track what actually matters (think: commission payouts, vendor invoices, team payroll), stay on top of the operational chaos, and make sure your numbers are tax-ready, decision-ready, and drama-free.

PAYROLL & CONTRACTOR PAYMENTS

Paying people shouldn’t be the part that breaks your brain. We help you stay on top of contractor payouts, commission splits, team reimbursements, and payroll, whether you're using Gusto, spreadsheets, or sticky notes.

We’ll make sure it’s accurate, tax-compliant, and actually reflects how your business runs. No guesswork, no chaos, just clean books and a team that gets paid on time.

THE BEYOND THE LEDGER DIFFERENCE

Amanda Collaso, founder of Beyond the Ledger – bookkeeping for podcasters, travel professionals, and creators

I'm Amanda, and around here we talk a lot about the unbeige business because that’s who we work with and who we’re built for.

Maybe you’re running a travel agency with flawless itineraries and chaotic commissions.

Maybe you’re a podcaster juggling sponsors, merch and 42 Stripe deposits a month.

Maybe you're building something wild and brilliant that doesn’t fit inside a spreadsheet.

You're not following a formula, you're building something real. That’s where we come in.

Finance bro results.

Without the finance bro vibe.

We see the client Venmos, the 2 a.m. write-offs, the messy backend that somehow still turns a profit.

No judgment. No jargon. Just clean books, real support, and numbers that help you move forward.

  • "They walked me through each step and were so patient and quick to respond to questions. "

    Amanda and the whole team here made bookkeeping catch up a total breeze after another accounting firm dropped the ball. They walked me through each step and were so patient and quick to respond to questions. Couldn't recommend more for other small business owners!
