# Lulu Ledger > Lulu Ledger is bookkeeping and business-management software built around how real estate agents actually work. It brings deals, commissions, income, expenses, receipts, mileage, and business performance together in one place so you can understand not just what you closed, but what you actually kept. Lulu Ledger is developed and operated by Lulu Labs LLC, a Florida-based software company building practical tools for real estate professionals. Lulu Ledger is software, not a bookkeeping or tax-preparation service. It does not provide tax, legal, accounting, financial, or investment advice, and it does not replace a CPA or tax professional. ## Who it's for Solo real estate agents in the United States who want deal-level profit, clean books, and CPA-ready reports without traditional accounting software. Small teams can use it too; each agent's data stays private to their account. ## Platform Web app that runs in any modern browser on desktop or phone. There is no native iOS or Android app. ## What it does - Deal and commission tracking, from pipeline through close - Commission splits, brokerage fees, and per-deal take-home calculations - Deal-level expenses and per-deal profit - Business income tracking - Business expense tracking and categorization - Read-only bank and credit-card connections through Plaid - Rule-based transaction categorization - Bank transaction review and matching - Receipt capture and matching - Business mileage tracking at the IRS rate for the trip date - Cash-basis Profit & Loss reporting with PDF and CSV exports - Business performance insights - Tax reserve and savings planning - Estimated-tax planning view based on the agent's configured rates Lulu Ledger connects to bank and credit-card accounts through a read-only Plaid connection. It cannot move or transfer money, and it does not store bank passwords. ## Pricing Founder pricing for the first 300 paid subscribers: $14.99/month or $149/year.
