LM-Ready

Your LM-3, drafted from the statements you already have.

Send your bank statements and checkbook register. You get back a filled-in draft and a worksheet that shows where every transaction went. You check it and file it yourself.

What happens to your files

You're trusting us with your local's records. Here's exactly how they're handled.

Statements only, never accessWe work from copies of statements. We never ask for online banking logins or account numbers beyond what's printed on the statement.
Used for your draft and nothing elseYour files are never sold, shared or used for marketing.
Deleted on a scheduleFiles are deleted 30 days after your draft is delivered, or sooner if you ask.
Stored privatelyYou upload through a Dropbox file request. Your files go into a private folder that only I can open, and you can't see anyone else's files.

Who's behind this

A small, independent service, not a faceless app.

OT
Owen
I built LM-Ready because the LM-3 usually lands on a treasurer who isn't paid for it, and most of the work is sorting a year of bank lines into the right boxes. I do the sorting and show my work, so your part is checking it.

Questions treasurers ask

 

Is this the Department of Labor?

No. LM-Ready is an independent service and isn't affiliated with the Department of Labor or any union. You still file through the government's own EFS system.

Is the first draft really free?

Yes. No card, no obligation. If you'd like us to do it again next year, that's $299 per report, and you only pay if you choose to.

Who checks the numbers?

You do, with our help. Every number in the draft is tied to specific bank lines in the worksheet, and anything we're unsure about is flagged for you instead of guessed.

What if we file an LM-4 instead?

That works too. Tell us on the form and we'll prepare the shorter LM-4 draft.

Is this legal or accounting advice?

No. We prepare a draft from your records for you to review. You and your local's officers remain responsible for what you file.
