Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from QuickBooks Enterprise?
VaultLedge does what QuickBooks Enterprise Gold does — multi-company, inventory tracking, role-based permissions, multi-state payroll, audit trail — plus a native iOS app (in beta) and built-in practice management for accountants. We're built for the way bookkeeping happens in 2026, not 2008.
How does the 60-day free trial work?
Starter, Plus, Advanced, and Enterprise all include a 60-day free trial. We collect a card up front so renewal is friction-free, but you can cancel anytime during the trial and you'll never be charged.
What about free migration from QuickBooks?
We'll move your books, vendors, employees, customers, and chart of accounts from QuickBooks Desktop or Online to VaultLedge — no charge. Most migrations finish in under a week. Tell us during signup and we'll reach out.
I'm an accountant. How does pricing work?
You pay one flat Practice subscription ($149/mo) — that's it. No per-client fees. It unlocks the complete bookkeeping and payroll toolset across unlimited active client workspaces, plus the multi-client dashboard, e-sign, doc requests, and client portal. You can also bill your own clients for your services directly from VaultLedge. Starts with a 60-day free trial.
What is Founding 50?
The first 50 paying customers on Plus, Advanced, or Enterprise lock in a 30% lifetime discount in exchange for a public testimonial within 30 days. After 50 redemptions the program closes.
Can I switch plans at any time?
Yes. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the end of the current billing period. Switch any time from Billing settings.
Is my financial data secure?
AES-256-GCM encryption for sensitive data, TLS 1.3 in transit, row-level security for tenant isolation, full audit trail. Anthropic (our AI provider) has zero data retention.
Do you offer annual billing?
Annual billing with a 17% discount (two months free) launches alongside the founding 50 program. Pick monthly or annual at checkout.
