Editorial Policy
How LedgerLogic researches, reviews, and maintains accuracy across all accounting content. Our readers make financial decisions based on what we publish, we take that responsibility seriously.
How We Research
Every piece of content published on LedgerLogic starts with primary sources. For tax and compliance topics, we reference the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA), provincial tax authorities, and relevant legislation directly. For software reviews and tool comparisons, a CPA reviews every tool from the vendor's own Canadian pricing pages, plan details and documentation, including what they say about the Canadian tax specifics (GST/HST, payroll remittances) and the accounting specifics (bank feeds, Xero and QuickBooks Online integrations). Prices and partner offers are read at the vendor, never copied from secondhand summaries or third-party roundups, and re-checked every quarter. Where the firm uses a tool in its own practice or on client files (Xero, QuickBooks Online, Karbon, Ignition, TaxCycle, Dext, Hubdoc, Wagepoint, Ownr, A2X, Synder and Stripe), the review says so and draws on that use, and the Venn review draws on LedgerLogic's own business account. Every other tool is reviewed from the vendor's own sources only.
CPA Review Process
All content on LedgerLogic is written or reviewed by Sebastien Prost, CPA, who brings over 10 years of experience including work with the Canada Revenue Agency. Tax rates, filing thresholds, compliance requirements, and financial guidance are verified against current CRA publications before publishing. Blog posts, service descriptions, and tool reviews go through at least one CPA review before going live.
Affiliate Disclosure
Some of the tools and software we recommend include affiliate links. When you sign up through these links, LedgerLogic may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships never influence our ratings, recommendations, or editorial opinions. We recommend a tool only when it fits the Canadian business described, and we include honest pros and cons for every product, including our affiliate partners. Non-affiliate tools receive equal editorial coverage. Our top pick is always the tool we would recommend to our own clients, regardless of commission.
Content Freshness
Accounting regulations, tax rates, and software pricing change frequently. We re-check prices and offers every quarter and update a page when a fact changes. Blog posts display both their original publication date and the date of the most recent update. When a significant change occurs between quarterly checks (such as a new CRA ruling or a major software price increase), we update affected content immediately. Pages that reference time-sensitive data (GST/HST rates, Xero pricing, CRA thresholds) are verified against source material at each update.
Corrections Policy
If we publish an error, whether a misquoted tax rate, an outdated price, or a factual inaccuracy, we correct it as soon as it is identified. Corrections are made directly in the content. For significant corrections (those that change a recommendation or materially affect financial guidance), we add a note at the top of the article explaining what was changed and when. If you spot an error in any of our content, please email us at info@ledgerlogic.ca and we will investigate promptly.
Independence & Objectivity
LedgerLogic is an independent CPA firm. We are not owned by or financially dependent on any software vendor. While we are a Xero Certified Partner and maintain affiliate relationships with several tools, our editorial recommendations are based on what each tool's own Canadian pages say it does and costs, read by a CPA, and on our own day-to-day use of the tools the firm runs. We regularly recommend non-affiliate tools (such as Wave) when they are the better fit for a specific use case. Our obligation is to our readers and clients, not to our affiliate partners.
