I’m incorporated and work as a software consultant in Toronto, Canada. I’ve been using ledger for years and recently did my first corporate tax return. I tried explaining the Ledger format to my accountant but they didn’t quite understand it. I ended up giving them the Ledger “balance” and “register” reports and that was enough. (Admittedly as I do software consulting my return was pretty simple.)
