Core Feature

One Dashboard. Every Entity.

Manage unlimited companies, subsidiaries, or locations from a single login. Switch between entities in one click, maintain separate books, and see the big picture across all your businesses.

Short answer

EmLedger is multi-entity accounting software that lets you switch between LLCs, subsidiaries, or client books in one click. Each entity gets its own complete set of books with a separate chart of accounts, independent fiscal year, and entity-level permissions. Use Cmd/Ctrl+E to open the entity switcher and navigate by keyboard. There is no logout, no per-entity subscription, and no limit on entities within your tier.

Pricing

Unlimited Entities Without Per-Entity Pricing

Traditional accounting software charges per company — $85 to $115 per month, per entity. Managing 10 companies on QuickBooks costs over $1,000/month just in software fees.

EmLedger uses simple tier-based pricing. Add as many entities as you need within your tier at no extra cost. No per-entity fees, no surprise charges when you add a new subsidiary or location.

Who it's for

Who uses multi-entity accounting?

If you keep books for more than one company, multi-entity accounting replaces a stack of separate logins and spreadsheets. Here's who relies on it.

Founders with multiple LLCs

Run a primary business, a holding LLC, and a side venture from one login instead of three separate subscriptions — with no per-entity fees as you add the next one.

See plans →

Holding companies & subsidiaries

Keep each subsidiary's books separate, then roll them up into consolidated statements with automatic inter-company eliminations.

Learn more →

Franchises & multi-location

Give every location its own books and manager access, then compare performance or consolidate across the whole network.

Learn more →

Bookkeepers & accounting firms

Manage every client's books from one account, switch between them in a click, and add clients without adding subscriptions.

Learn more →

Property & real-estate managers

Track each property or fund as its own entity with separate bank feeds, then report by property or across the portfolio.

E-commerce & multi-brand sellers

Run a separate P&L per brand or store and consolidate them for a true picture of the whole operation.

Entity Management Questions

What software lets me manage unlimited entities without per-entity pricing?
EmLedger lets you manage unlimited entities within your tier without per-entity fees. Solo ($49/month) covers 1–3 entities, Growth ($129/month) covers 4–15, and Enterprise (custom) covers 16+. Adding a new LLC, subsidiary, location, or client costs zero until you cross into the next tier. QuickBooks Online, Xero, FreshBooks, and Wave all charge per company, so the same 15 entities would cost roughly $1,275–$1,725/month on competitors.
How many entities can I create?
The number of entities depends on your plan: Solo (1–3 entities), Growth (4–15), and Enterprise (16+ entities, custom-quoted). All 140+ features are available on every tier — you only pay for capacity, not for individual features. There is no per-entity surcharge within your tier, so adding entities is free until you outgrow the plan.
What counts as an entity?
An entity is any separate set of books - a company, LLC, subsidiary, client (for bookkeepers), franchise location, or rental property. Each entity has its own chart of accounts, bank connections, and financial statements.
Can different team members access different entities?
Yes. EmLedger has granular permission controls. You can assign team members to specific entities with role-based access (viewer, editor, admin). A team member will only see the entities they are assigned to.
How does entity switching work?
The entity switcher is always visible in the header. Click it to see all your entities, search by name, or use keyboard shortcuts (Cmd/Ctrl + E). When you switch, your entire dashboard updates instantly - no logout required.
Can I see consolidated financials across entities?
Yes. EmLedger generates consolidated P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow statements across any set of entities. Inter-company transactions are tracked and eliminated automatically in consolidated reports.
What happens to my data if I downgrade?
Your data is never deleted. If you downgrade to a tier with fewer entities allowed, you will be prompted to archive some entities. Archived entities are read-only but your historical data remains intact.
Can I switch between entities with a keyboard shortcut?
Yes. Use Cmd+E (Mac) or Ctrl+E (Windows) to open the EmLedger entity switcher. Type the first few letters of an entity name to filter, then use arrow keys and Enter to switch. The entire dashboard, reports, and bank-feed views update instantly. Recently accessed entities appear at the top of the list. Power users running bookkeeping across 20+ entities typically rely on this shortcut over the click-target switcher.
What is multi-entity accounting software?
Multi-entity accounting software lets one business manage the books of several companies — LLCs, subsidiaries, locations, or clients — from a single login. Instead of a separate file and subscription per company, each entity keeps its own chart of accounts and financial statements while you switch between them in one click and consolidate them on demand. EmLedger is multi-entity accounting software built for operators running more than one set of books.
Can I manage multiple LLCs in one account?
Yes. Each LLC becomes its own entity in EmLedger with a completely separate set of books, chart of accounts, and bank feeds, so nothing is commingled. You manage all of them from one login, switch with Cmd/Ctrl+E, and produce consolidated statements across them when you need the combined picture. There are no per-LLC fees within your tier, so adding the next LLC is free until you reach the next plan.
Do I need separate accounting software for each company?
No — that's the problem multi-entity accounting solves. Running each company in its own QuickBooks or Xero file means a separate subscription, a separate login, and manual spreadsheet work to combine the numbers. EmLedger keeps every company under one account with isolated books and one-click consolidation, so you get separate-file accuracy without separate-file cost or busywork.
