What is the main difference between Almarix and LedgerDocs?

LedgerDocs is a workspace your team and clients work inside, where documents are uploaded, tagged and discussed. Almarix is automation that works on documents wherever they already arrive and files them into storage you already own. With LedgerDocs your team still does the naming and sorting. With Almarix that work disappears.

A LedgerDocs alternative built for Canadian bookkeeping firms

Almarix vs LedgerDocs

LedgerDocs is a Canadian document management system, and a well established one. This page is for firms who want the filing to happen on its own rather than have a better place to put documents. Here is the straight comparison, including where LedgerDocs genuinely wins.

The short version: LedgerDocs is a document management system. Documents are uploaded into LedgerDocs, where they are stored, tagged, discussed and pushed through to QuickBooks, Xero, Sage 50 or Kashoo. Almarix is filing automation. Documents arrive however your clients already send them, get named to your convention, filed into your own Google Drive, the missing ones chased, and the data posted to QuickBooks Online or Xero. LedgerDocs gives you a better place to put documents. Almarix removes the putting.

Where LedgerDocs genuinely wins

Canadian, independent and running since 2002, with a long track record and Canadian data residency
Bank statement fetching, which Almarix does not do
Statement to spreadsheet conversion as a separate paid plan
Collaboration on the document itself: notes, tags and sharing between your team and the client
Direct connections to Sage 50 and Kashoo, which Almarix does not post to

If you want a shared workspace where your team and clients discuss documents together, or you need statement fetching, LedgerDocs does things Almarix does not. We would rather say so than pretend otherwise.
