MEET THE FOUNDER
Cedric Gates
Hi, I’m Cedric Gates, founder of Gates Ledger Partners. For more than 10 years, I’ve kept the books for my home church. That experience taught me how much it means to have someone you trust keeping track of the details, answering questions, and helping you understand where the money went.
I earned my accounting degree at the University of Houston–Downtown and am a Certified Internal Auditor. My work in accounting and internal audit has taught me to ask good questions, follow up when something doesn’t add up, and explain what I find in plain English. That’s the same approach I bring to working with small businesses, churches, and nonprofits.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and cheering on Houston sports teams. I’m based in Pearland, and I’m glad to build a business that serves the community I call home.
If you’re behind on your books or just want a clearer picture of how your organization is doing, you don’t need to have everything sorted out before we talk. Tell me what’s working, what’s been frustrating, and what you’d like to understand better. We’ll figure out a practical next step together.
