Precision bookkeeping, for the people who depend on precision.
Ardent & Aces is the dedicated back office behind US CPA firms and businesses. Certified. Discreet. On time. Every month, without exception.
Books closed on time. Reports that make sense. Zero surprises.
Behind every clean set of books is a team that cared enough to get the details right. Ardent & Aces is that team — CIMA, ACCA, and CA-qualified bookkeepers who treat your financials the way a private banker treats a portfolio: with discipline, discretion, and a standard that does not move.
We work with CPA firms that need a capacity extension they can trust, and with business owners who want to stop losing weekends to QuickBooks. One standard, regardless of client size.
Built for the way you actually work.
A simple process. A serious standard.

A 30-minute call to understand your workflow, your software, your reporting cadence, and your standards.
Onboard
We set up access, sign NDAs, review prior-period books, and align on month-end deliverables. Most clients are live within 10 business days.
Deliver
Monthly closes completed within 5 business days of period-end. Reports delivered the way you expect them. Questions answered before you ask.
Built different. And it shows in the work.
Senior-qualified team, not junior outsourcing.
Every A&A bookkeeper holds or is pursuing a CIMA, ACCA, or CA credential. Our wider team carries over 30 years of combined experience, with backgrounds at top-tier global firms — including Accenture, the London Stock Exchange Group, HSBC, and Ernst & Young.
Overnight delivery.
Sri Lanka sits 10.5 hours ahead of US Eastern time. We close your books while you sleep. You wake up to completed work, ready for review.
Security as a standard, not a sales pitch.
NDAs on every engagement. Encrypted file exchange. Access controls and segregated client assignments. A clear SOC 2 roadmap — because your clients' data deserves institutional-grade handling.
Fixed-fee clarity.
No surprise invoices. No hourly billing gymnastics. Tiered, transparent pricing you can plan around — and your clients can mark up with confidence.
Everything your books need. Nothing they don't.
The work is the product. The people are the proof.
Ardent & Aces was founded by Shehan Ratnayake, a 15-year veteran of HSBC and other multinationals, together with Kavinga Ratnayake, a career accountant with 15-plus years of leading financial operations for blue-chip companies and global BPOs. Together they lead a senior team with more than 30 years of combined experience, drawn from top-tier global firms.
