If you can describe it, we can build it.

Custom software for accounting, bookkeeping and professional-services firms. Proposals, engagement letters, document requests, retainers and the numbers behind them. Scroll to sign one.

Step 1 — Proposal

Every client starts with a proposal.

Three clear plans instead of a PDF and a phone call. The client picks one on their phone.

What we can build

A few things to click through.

Every one of these works. Click around: it all runs on invented data. Yours would be shaped around how your business actually runs.

The whole firm, working

One app, from proposal to autopay.

Proposals clients sign on their phone, document requests that chase themselves, retainers on autopay, the month-end close and a cash forecast. A year of invented clients underneath.

Pocket tools

Small tools that earn their keep.

Not every win is a big system. These are the quick numbers you work out between client calls, done properly: on your phone, with a picture, and the formula shown. Free to use.

When it runs long

At 25% over, the margin falls to 31% and the fee works out to $82 an hour. Scope the package to the hours, or track them.

fee = hours × cost × (1 + overhead) ÷ (1 − margin) · margin when long = 1 − cost × (1 + creep) ÷ fee

Ideas to get you thinking

Things people ask us for.

Tap one to see how we'd build it. Most are small; all of them save time every week.

  • One checklist per client per season. Uploads tick items off; reminders go out on a schedule and stop the moment the last file lands.

  • Hours logged against each fixed fee, month by month, so repricing conversations start from numbers, not a feeling.

  • Packages the client picks from on their phone, the engagement letter signed in the same step, autopay set up before you hang up.

  • A board of every client's month-end: what's waiting on the client, what's reconciled, what's reviewed, who's late.

  • Cash, profit and the three numbers that matter to that business, in a short page, the day the books close.

  • Rules that flag duplicate, miscoded or out-of-pattern transactions for a person to check before the books close.

  • ACH autopay on the 1st, failed payments retried and flagged, and receipts that land in the client's portal.

  • Returns by type, complexity and document status, forecast against each preparer's hours week by week.

How it works

Small, scoped, and written down.

One project at a time, so the one we're running gets done properly. Like an engagement letter, you always know what's in scope, what it costs and when it's done.

  1. Step 1

    Fit call

    Time
    20–30 min

    Tell us the one process that wastes the most time. We'll say plainly whether we can help, and whether you even need custom work.

  2. Step 2

    Workflow assessment

    From $299

    Time
    About a week

    One workflow, reviewed. A short written summary: how it works today, ranked options (configure, connect, build, or leave it alone) and next steps. Half the fee is credited if you go ahead within 60 days.

  3. Step 3

    Fixed-scope build

    Fixed price

    A fixed price when the scope is clear, written acceptance tests, and progress you can read. Small projects are 50% to start, 50% on acceptance.

    30-day warranty

    Documentation, your data, your logins. Defects in what we delivered get fixed under warranty. Ongoing help is optional, never a hostage.

Ground rules

What you can count on.

  • Built around how you work

    We start from your process, not a template. Replacing a tool you hate, filling a gap, or connecting what you already have: the software fits the firm, not the other way round.

  • You own it

    Your code, your data, your accounts. If we ever part ways, you keep everything and it keeps running.

  • AI-assisted, human-verified

    We build with AI coding tools, which is why custom work is affordable now. Every change is tested and checked by a person, and your data stays out of tools you haven't approved.

  • Honest demos

    Everything on this site runs on invented sample data. No fake clients, no fake testimonials, no made-up savings.

Who's building it

An engineer who has run a business and its books.

Running a service business, with its clients, payroll and month-ends, and building software for service operations. Mechanical engineering. You bring the accounting judgment; we build the system around it.
