Real numbers. Real systems. Built from real books.
LedgerLift Studio builds custom financial database systems for bootstrap founders and small businesses — real databases, not templates or software you have to learn.
Most of us started businesses without anyone teaching us how money actually flows through them. We learned marketing, sales, delivery — the parts that felt like “the business.” Nobody taught us the part where the business has to tell you the truth about itself.
You started your business to do the work you love. Not to untangle spreadsheets, chase down transactions, or wonder why your bank account doesn’t match what you think you made.
Why I built this
So I built the systems that didn’t exist. Every LedgerDesk system on this page came from real client work — tested in production before it was ever sold. You’re not hiring a bookkeeper. You’re getting a system built by someone who’s been inside real founder books and knows what breaks, and what holds up.
If you’re not sure where you stand right now, that’s the right place to start. The diagnostic places you on the Bookkeeping Maturity Stages and tells you what to do next. Takes about two minutes. Take the Diagnostic →
Where do you start?
LedgerDesk Access — $147 A real financial database system, built in Microsoft Access for founders who want it running locally. Built from real client work, handed over so you own it.
LedgerDesk Solo — $197 The same real financial database system, built in Airtable. Monthly close, P&L, expense tracking — all in one place. Built from real client work, handed over so you own it.
Historical Summary Load — $297 Behind on your books? The months you missed get summarized by category and month, then loaded into your LedgerDesk system as your opening position, so your year-to-date numbers start out correct. Works with LedgerDesk Access or Solo.
LedgerDesk Custom — $2,500 A LedgerDesk instance built for your business, not adapted to it. If your books have structure a template can’t hold — multiple revenue streams, project or job costing, inventory, split entities — this is the one. Flat $2,500, half up front and half on handover. You do your own data entry; I build the system. Handed over so you own it.
