Intro / CEO Quote:

"At Lifted Ledger Advisory Group, we help businesses take control of their finances, streamline systems, and build scalable growth strategies — without the overwhelm."

"Lifted Ledger Advisors was founded because I saw too many small businesses struggling with messy books, complicated systems, and unclear financial insights. My goal is simple: to give business owners clarity, control, and confidence in their finances, so they can focus on growth instead of spreadsheets."
— Jennifer Hargiss, CEO

Our Team & Expertise:

We are a team of seasoned professionals — former CFOs, consultants, business owners, and educators — with a wide range of industries, both for-profit and nonprofit. We are all entrepreneurs who are passionate about what we do. We treat your business as if it were our own and every dollar matters. We’re also passionate about people and building others up for success. We enjoy coaching and take great satisfaction in watching you grow.

Lifted Ledger was created to change the way people experience their finances.

Too often, bookkeeping and accounting feel overwhelming, confusing, or impersonal. Business owners are left juggling numbers late at night, second-guessing decisions, or feeling disconnected from their financial reality. We saw how heavy that burden can be—and we believed there was a better way.

Lifted Ledger was founded with a simple idea: when your financial systems are clear, organized, and thoughtfully managed, everything else rises with them. Confidence grows. Decisions become easier. Businesses move forward with purpose instead of pressure.

We blend precision with clarity, and structure with strategy—so your books don’t just record the past, they support your future. Whether you’re just getting started or scaling what you’ve built, our role is to lift the weight off your shoulders and give you a financial foundation you can trust.
