You got paid
A client pays an invoice. Aledgerly spots the payment, matches it to the invoice, and asks you one plain question: book it?
Bookkeeping + tax estimates · Texas
Your books and taxes, in plain language.
The in-house tool Texanlink uses to run its books — and to pay the people it works with. You say what happened; Aledgerly does the accounting.
- Six-digit code at every sign-in
- History that can’t be rewritten
- No ads, no trackers
How it works
Plain words on top. Real accounting underneath.
Three things happen every time money moves. You only have to do the first one.
Every number explains itself
Tap “Why?” on any figure to see the reasoning in plain words — and the rule it comes from.
Your books still balance
Behind the plain words is a full set of books that must balance to the cent, every single time — the kind your accountant expects.
What it does
Everything the business needs, nothing it doesn’t.
-
Say what happened
Tap “I got paid” or “I spent money” and answer a few plain questions. Aledgerly does the accounting underneath.
-
Know what to set aside
A running estimate of federal taxes, a clear penalty-protection light, and a “Why?” behind every number.
-
Invoices with Texas sales tax
Numbered invoices with the right Texas sales tax on each line — and a plain reason when tax applies.
-
Payments land in one place
Payments from Square, Wise, Stripe and PayPal — plus Venmo and Cash App statements — arrive in one review queue, fees split out.
-
Pay people fairly
Projects, shares and payouts with the math shown. A US contractor isn’t paid until their W-9 is on file.
-
Ready for tax time
A year-end checklist, then a bundle of reports and a plain cover note your tax preparer can act on.

Every number has a “Why?”
Aledgerly never shows a total without a path to its parts. Open the layers below — the same three depths the app uses.
- Answer — the number, and what to do about it.
- Explanation — how it was worked out, in plain words.
- Source — the published rule behind it, so you can check.
Illustrative example with made-up numbers — a planning estimate, not tax advice.
For your next quarterly tax payment, set aside about $4,200
Why $4,200?
So far this year the business has earned about $38,000 after expenses. Here’s the math:
- Tax on that income so far (self-employment tax + income tax): about $12,600
- Quarterly tax payments you’ve already made: $8,400
- Left to set aside now: $4,200
Paying this by the due date keeps your penalty-protection light green.
Show the source
Self-employment tax: 15.3% on 92.35% of net earnings — IRS, Instructions for Schedule SE (Form 1040). Quarterly payments and due dates — IRS Form 1040-ES, Estimated Tax for Individuals. Penalty protection: paying at least 100% of last year’s tax (110% at higher incomes) — IRC § 6654(d).
For contractors

Security
Built like a vault, explained like a friend.
Financial records deserve more than a password. Here’s what protects them — in plain words.
-
A six-digit code, every time
Everyone signs in with a password and the six-digit code from their authenticator app. No exceptions.
-
Big changes ask again
Voiding an invoice or inviting someone new asks for your code again — even in the middle of a session.
-
History can’t be rewritten
Once something is booked, it stays booked. Mistakes get a “Fix this” entry, never a silent edit.
-
A tamper-evident activity log
Every change is recorded in a chain where each entry seals the one before it, so tampering shows.
-
Tax ID numbers locked away
Contractor tax ID numbers are encrypted and shown only as the last four digits.
-
Write-once exports
Year-end and backup exports go to storage that can’t be changed or deleted before its time.
Honest limits
What Aledgerly will never do
-
File for you
It prepares the numbers and the paperwork. You or your tax preparer file with the IRS and Texas.
-
Move your money
It reads payments; it can’t send them. Payouts happen in your bank, Wise or Remitly.
-
Give tax advice
Estimates are for planning. Every number shows its source so you — or your preparer — can check it.
-
Sell your data
No ads, no trackers, no data sales. The only people who see the books are the people who should.

Questions
Can I use Aledgerly for my own business?
Not right now. Aledgerly is an in-house tool built for Texanlink LLC. It isn’t offered to the public, and there’s no way to sign up. If that ever changes, this page will say so.
I got an invitation email. Is it real?
Real invitations come from Texanlink and send you to app.aledgerly.com. Before you type a password, check that the address bar says app.aledgerly.com. Texanlink will never ask for your password or six-digit code by email or phone.
Does Aledgerly file taxes or send payments?
No. It prepares figures, forms and reminders, but every filing happens outside the app, and it can only read payment records — it can’t move money.
Who can see my information?
Texanlink’s owner sees the business’s books. A contractor sees only their own work and payments. See the privacy policy for the full details, including how to ask for a copy of your information.
