About

We make the books the easy part.

Lumen Ledger started with a simple frustration: running a business is hard enough without dreading the numbers.

Our story

Rosa Delgado spent twelve years as a controller, closing the books for growing companies. She saw the same thing everywhere: owners who were brilliant at their craft and quietly anxious about their numbers.

In 2021 she teamed up with engineer Daniel Brandt to build the accounting tool they wished existed. One that was quick to learn, honest about what it knew, and calm enough to open on a Monday morning.

Today more than eleven thousand businesses use Lumen Ledger. We are a team of sixty-four, spread across three offices, and we still read every piece of customer feedback.

What we believe.

Less, but better

Every feature has to earn its place. If a screen can do its job with one fewer button, we remove the button.

Calm by default

Money is stressful enough. Our software stays quiet until something needs your attention, and then it is clear about why.

Trust is the product

We handle your financial records. We treat that with the seriousness it deserves, in how we build, how we store and how we talk.

Built with our customers

Our best ideas arrive in customer calls. We talk to owners every week, and they shape what we build next.

The people behind it.
