What General Ledger Partners, LLC does

General Ledger Partners, LLC is an Austin, Texas-based financial consulting and advisory firm founded in 2021 by CPAs Jennifer Thomas (COO) and Jason Terry (CEO), both with prior PricewaterhouseCoopers audit experience. The firm delivers outsourced financial operations, fractional CFO services, financial readiness projects (including cash-to-GAAP conversions, audit prep, and Quality of Earnings reports for M&A transactions), and not-for-profit-focused accounting services. Delivery is virtual and cloud-based, integrating with mainstream accounting and financial operations platforms including QuickBooks, Xero, Expensify, Ramp, Rippling, and Stripe. The team comprises roughly 14 named consultants and managers, with several senior leaders holding CPA, CFE, and QuickBooks ProAdvisor credentials and prior experience at PwC, Deloitte, and operator/controller roles.

The firm targets two primary customer segments: business founders and owners seeking financial clarity without a full-time hire, and institutional partners — venture capital, private equity, investment banks, and audit firms — that refer portfolio companies needing GAAP-ready financials and due diligence support. Service coverage is organized across five vertical industries: Healthcare & Life Sciences, Manufacturing & Construction, Not-For-Profit, Professional Services, and Technology & Software. According to the firm, its portfolio company clients have collectively raised over $64 million following GLP-led financial transformations.

Revenue is generated through professional services engagements priced on either an hourly or flat-rate basis, including recurring monthly managed services and discrete project work. All engagements begin with a complimentary 30-45 minute discovery consultation, followed by read-only access to the client's financial systems and a custom proposal. The firm is bootstrapped and founder-owned, with no disclosed external funding, subsidiaries, or M&A activity. The company explicitly states it is not a CPA firm, providing financial guidance through seasoned professionals rather than attest services.
