Why we publish
This LedgerBPO editorial policy explains how every page on the site is written, sourced, reviewed and refreshed. We publish guides, comparison pages, glossary entries and research so that business owners, practice managers and finance teams can make better decisions about bookkeeping, billing and collections, whether or not they ever hire us. Content that only exists to sell would not earn a reader’s trust, so we hold it to the standard we would want for our own clients.
Who writes and who reviews
Every page has a named author and a named reviewer from the team page. The author is responsible for accuracy and clarity. The reviewer is a finance lead who checks the figures, the compliance statements and the country-specific rules before publication, and who cannot be the same person as the author. Both names and the review date appear on the page.
Sources
Statistics, prices and benchmarks are cited to a named source with a date, and we link to the source where it is public. We prefer primary sources: the IRS, HMRC, the ATO, the CRA, regulators, official statistics and software vendors’ own documentation. Third-party market data is used only when the publisher and date are stated. If a number cannot be sourced, it does not go in. We never fabricate statistics, quotes, client names or results.
Case studies use figures supplied and verified by the business owner, are anonymized unless the client approves naming, and are marked for verification until the client has approved them. Illustrative scenarios are labeled as such and claim no results.
Comparison pages
Comparison and alternative pages describe other providers from their public websites and third-party reports, with a source and a date. We aim to be fair: each competitor page states who that provider is a good fit for. We do not rate providers, and no provider pays to appear or to be described favorably.
AI assistance
Drafts may be prepared with AI assistance. Every AI-assisted draft is checked line by line, edited and approved by a named finance lead before it is published, and the reviewer is accountable for it in the same way as for any other page. AI tools are never a source; every fact still has to trace to a cited publication or a primary document. We do not use AI to generate statistics, quotes or case-study results.
Independence and paid placements
We do not accept payment for placements, reviews, links or mentions. Software and providers are named because they are relevant to the reader, not because of any commercial arrangement. Where we have a partnership or referral relationship with a vendor named on a page, it is disclosed on that page. At the date of this policy we hold no partner, reseller or referral status with any software vendor or provider named on the site.
Refresh cycle
Pages are reviewed at least once a quarter. Tax thresholds, deadlines, software features and published competitor prices change often, so the reviewer checks each cited figure against its source and updates the review date. Country pages are also reviewed whenever a relevant rule changes, such as a Making Tax Digital deadline, an Australian Payday Super date or an IRS procedure update.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we fix it and say so. Readers can report an error to the contact on our corrections page. Confirmed errors are corrected on the page, noted in the corrections log with the date and the change, and, where the error was material, flagged at the top of the page for 30 days.
Plain language
We write in plain, sentence-case English at a reading level suitable for a business owner, with US spelling on global pages and local spelling on UK, Canadian and Australian pages. We avoid jargon where a plain word exists, and we define terms in the glossary when we cannot.
Boundaries
Site content is general information, not accounting, tax, legal or investment advice. We do not give audit opinions, and country pages state clearly which filings must be made by the client, its accountant, a registered EFILE transmitter or a TPB-registered BAS agent.
