Supporting podcasters
Helping You Get Paid for Ranting on the Internet
The Bookkeepers for
Podcasters Who'd Rather
Die Than Do Math
Look, we get it. You started a podcast because you have things to say, not because you love organizing receipts into little folders (unlike us, but we're working through that in therapy). While you're out there changing lives with your true crime investigations or teaching people how to manifest their best lives through crystal healing, we're the nerds who actually enjoy reconciling bank statements. Someone has to do it, right?
Welcome to Beyond the Ledger, where we're basically accountants, but like, the kind you'd actually want to grab a coffee with. We're the Excel enthusiasts who help podcasters turn their "I'll deal with it later" pile into actual, grown-up financial records. And yes, we know what "CPM" means without having to Google it (though we did have to Google what "touch grass" means, so we're still working on our cool factor).
PODCASTER-FOCUSED BOOKKEEPING FOR THE SPREADSHEET-AVERSE
Real Talk: We explain your numbers in actual human language, not accountant-speak (we save that for our nerdy internal meetings).
- Made for Podcasters: Whether you're recording in your closet or running a podcast empire, we get your business model.
- Tech That Doesn't Suck: Modern tools that play nice with your podcast income streams and don't make you want to throw your laptop.
- We've Got Your Back: From tracking sponsorship revenue to sorting out your Patreon income, we handle the boring stuff while you make magic behind the mic.
because podcasters deserve better than boring bookkeepers
We're bookkeepers who actually understand what you do (wild concept, we know).
We Get Your World: Whether you're a solo podcaster recording in your closet, managing a growing network, or juggling multiple shows, we understand your revenue streams and business model (yes, we actually know what CPM means).
Built for Creators: From Patreon to sponsorship tracking to merch sales, we handle the numbers while you focus on growing your audience and creating killer content.
No Accounting-Speak: No confusing jargon, no mind-numbing spreadsheet lectures, and definitely no suits (we're probably wearing sweatpants right now, just like you).
Teamwork Energy: You keep making amazing content, we'll keep your finances organized—it's the partnership your accountant-averse soul has been waiting for.
solutions for podcasters
business compliance
Keep your podcast legit and legal without the stress. Let's face it – no one starts a podcast dreaming about business filings and state compliance (except maybe us, but we're working on that). That's why we handle all that thrilling paperwork most creators forget about until it's 2am and they're panic-googling 'how to keep my LLC legal' or 'what happens if I forgot to file my annual report?' (we've seen your search history, and we get it).
We take care of the boring-but-important stuff like:
Setting up your LLC the right way from day one
Filing all those fun annual reports the state requires
Managing ongoing compliance requirements
Keeping track of filing deadlines (so you don't have to)
Handling state paperwork and registrations
Making sure your business structure actually makes sense for your podcast
Whether you're launching your first show, expanding to a new state, or realizing you should have done this paperwork months ago (no judgment), we've got you covered. Think of us as your compliance producers – we actually enjoy this stuff so you can focus on creating amazing content. Because nothing kills your creative flow quite like getting letters from the Secretary of State.
bookkeeping & budgeting
Stop letting bookkeeping chaos hold your podcast back. You're busy building an audience, perfecting your content, and maybe wondering if that expensive microphone was worth it (spoiler: we can help you figure that out). That's where we come in. From tracking sponsorship revenue to managing Patreon income to organizing expenses, we turn financial chaos into crystal-clear insights.
We'll handle all the money stuff you've been avoiding:
Track those sponsor payments (from one-off ads to long-term deals)
Manage membership income (because multiple Patreon tiers shouldn't mean multiple headaches)
Organize expenses (goodbye, shoebox full of receipts)
Create reports you'll actually understand (no accounting degree required)
Monitor your revenue streams (ads, merch, memberships, and whatever new platform pops up next)
Whether you're monetizing your first show, scaling your podcast network, or just trying to figure out if this whole podcasting thing is actually profitable, we've got you covered. Our custom bookkeeping solutions are built for podcasters who'd rather be behind the mic than behind a spreadsheet. Because your creativity shouldn't be limited by your hatred of numbers.
financial consulting
Ever wonder if you're spending too much on that fancy mic setup? (Or not enough?) You're not alone in the "am I doing this right?" club when it comes to podcast finances. We'll help you figure out if your spending actually makes sense for your show's size and goals, without making you feel like you need an economics degree to understand it.
We'll break down the numbers that actually matter:
Production costs (yes, that includes your home studio upgrades)
Editing expenses (because good editing matters, but so does profit)
Marketing spend (and whether it's actually bringing in listeners)
Equipment investments (from mics to mixers to that fancy acoustic treatment)
Software subscriptions (because they add up faster than podcast downloads)
Team costs (when it makes sense to outsource vs. DIY)
By comparing your expenses to industry benchmarks, we'll help you understand where your money should actually be going. No more guessing if you should invest in better equipment or spend more on promotion. We'll show you how your spending stacks up against similar shows and help you make smart decisions about where to invest next.
Because knowing if you're overpaying for editing or underspending on marketing can be the difference between a hobby and a thriving show. And sometimes the path to more downloads starts with understanding exactly where your money's going.
