LedgerLift Studio | DIY Finance Tools for Bootstrap Founders

Sound Familiar?

❌ Can't Afford the "Pro" Tools

QuickBooks + accountant = $3,000+/month. You're bootstrapping with a $500 monthly budget.

❌ Don't Need a Full Bookkeeper

$150/hour for someone to tell you what you already suspect about your cash flow? No thanks.

❌ Want Systems You Actually Own

Tired of renting software subscriptions. You want templates and frameworks you control.

✅ The LedgerLift Studio Solution

Affordable templates ($17-$99) and proven systems designed specifically for bootstrap founders aged 28-40. Learn your financial stage and get the exact tools you need—nothing more, nothing less.

The 5 Financial Levels Framework

Every bootstrap founder progresses through these 5 stages. Knowing your current level means you can focus on the right systems at the right time—and stop wasting money on tools you're not ready for.

Build Yourself First

Revenue: $0 - $50K

You're in startup mode. Personal and business accounts might still be mixed. No formal budget system yet, but you're tracking somehow (spreadsheets, notebooks, mental math).

Cash flow is reactive, not proactive
Doing all bookkeeping manually
Need: Basic tracking habits and separate accounts

Revenue Reality Check

Revenue: $50K - $150K

You're making sales, but the money keeps disappearing. Starting to understand the difference between revenue and profit. Systems are becoming more important as volume grows.

Revenue is consistent but profit is unclear
Month-end chaos every single time
Need: Profit tracking and intentional budgeting

Business Systems

Revenue: $150K - $500K

You have formalized systems in place. Regular financial reviews. Maybe part-time bookkeeping help. Making data-driven decisions based on real numbers.

Accounting software implemented
Understanding key financial metrics
Need: Automation and scaling infrastructure

Scale & Automate

Revenue: $500K - $1M

Automated financial systems working smoothly. Professional bookkeeping team or service. Strategic tax planning. Multiple revenue streams managed effectively.

Financial operations are streamlined
Investor-ready reporting in place
Need: Strategic CFO-level insights

Master Your Money

Revenue: $1M+

Complete financial infrastructure. CFO or controller on team. Sophisticated forecasting. Strategic growth planning. Ready for exit or acquisition if desired.

Full finance team in place
Advanced business intelligence
Need: Optimization and strategic deployment
