For photographers and videographers in Nigeria
Deposits, balances and kit, all on the record.
Say it when the deposit lands and again when the balance clears. A shoot is paid for or it is not, and you will know which.
Deposits taken months before the shoot, balances chased after delivery, and gear bought on a personal card that never reaches the books.
Three messages, and the ledger they write
These are messages you could send today. Underneath each one is exactly what LedgerChat posts — the real accounts, the real directions. Every entry has two sides, and both sides balance.
The booking recorded in full, the day it is agreed.

The deposit, against the balance — the original booking is untouched.

Questions photographers and videographers ask
- How do deposits work?
- The booking is one entry, the deposit another. The balance on that client moves; what you agreed never gets rewritten.
- Can I send the client an invoice?
- Yes, on the Business plan — numbered, as a PDF, straight into the chat for you to forward.
- What if a shoot is cancelled?
- Reverse it. The entry stays visible with its reversal beside it, which is what an accountant wants to see.
Your ledger is one message away.
