Hero headline — 3 variants

Your books, closed every month. Without you touching them.

Sub-headline

Ledgerly pairs solo founders with a real bookkeeper and does the monthly close for you — categorized, reconciled, and ready for tax season. [TODO: confirm turnaround claim, e.g. "books closed by the 5th"]

Section — How it works

1. Connect. Link your bank and cards once — read-only, bank-level security. [TODO: confirm security/compliance wording]
2. We reconcile. A dedicated bookkeeper categorizes every transaction and closes your month.
3. You see clearly. A plain-English monthly summary: what came in, what went out, what's yours to keep.

Section — Objection handling (FAQ)

"I already use accounting software." Great — Ledgerly does the part software won't: the actual categorizing, reconciling, and closing, by a human who catches the things automation misses.

Primary CTA — options

[ Get my first month free ] · [ See a sample close ] · [ Talk to a bookkeeper ]

3. Email Sequence (welcome, 3 of 5)

Email 1 · Day 0select subject/body
Subject A: Welcome — your Sunday nights are ours now   Subject B: Let's close your first month
Hi [First name] — the hard part's over: you signed up. Here's what happens next, in three short steps, and the one thing we need from you today (it takes four minutes). Reply to this email and a real person answers — no ticket number.
Email 2 · Day 3select subject/body
Subject A: The number most founders can't answer   Subject B: Do you know your real monthly profit?
Most founders can tell you revenue. Far fewer can tell you what they actually kept. That gap is where stress lives — and it's exactly what a proper monthly close closes. Here's how yours will look.
Email 5 · Day 14select subject/body
Subject A: Your first close is ready   Subject B: Here's your month, in plain English
It's done. Your first month is reconciled and closed. Here's the one-page summary — and the two things worth your attention this month. Send timing: [TODO: confirm send after first close completes]

4. Ads — 6 variants (2 hooks × 3 angles)

5. Usage Notes

  1. A/B test the hero first. Ship Variant C (recommended) as control; test A ("already done when you wake up") as the challenger — same subhead, same CTA.
  2. Emails: lead with Subject A on each; Subject B is the retest if opens dip below [TODO: confirm your baseline open rate].
  3. Ads: start one hook per angle (3 ads), let the Pain angle prove or die first — it usually wins for this audience, but let the data say so.
  4. Every [TODO: confirm] is a real claim to verify before publishing. Copy never invents a number Ledgerly hasn't earned.
