If your business uses traditional expense management tools or dedicated receipt-scanning apps, you are likely paying a hidden operational surcharge: the accountant seat tax.
Most legacy tools charge between $25 and $50 per user per month. When year-end arrives or quarterly tax filings approach, you are forced to purchase an additional user license simply so your external bookkeeper or CPA can log in, view your transactions, and inspect receipt copies.
Over a year, that single read-only seat costs your business $300 to $600 in recurring software overhead. Even worse, it forces your accountant to learn yet another proprietary dashboard and memorize another set of credentials.
Native Google Sharing: Zero Added Cost
Transit Ledger takes a radically simpler approach by building directly on Google Workspace™. Because your financial records live inside native Google tools, collaboration uses the permissions you already own:
- $0 Additional User Licenses: Share your expense general ledger with your bookkeeper, fractional CPA, or business partners without paying extra seat fees.
- Native Google Drive™ Permissions: Grant standard Viewer, Commenter, or Editor access to specific spreadsheets or Google Drive™ folders. You maintain complete control over permissions.
- Direct Drive™ & Gmail™ Links on Each Row: Every transaction row in your Google Sheets ledger includes a direct link to a saved copy of the receipt PDF in your Google Drive. For receipts logged from your inbox, each row also links directly back to the original message in Gmail™.
- Zero Software Friction: Your accountant doesn’t need to create an account, install an app, or learn new software. They already know how to work in Google Sheets.
- Zero Database Retention: Your financial data stays 100% inside your own Google Drive. We never store your receipts or general ledgers on our servers.
- No Inbox Snooping: Transit Ledger never scans your inbox in the background. It activates only on the specific receipt email you choose to log.
Share your Google Sheets™ ledger directly. Your accountant already knows how to use it.
