A small team that helps small businesses get more from their software.
QBAP is a practical software shop for small and mid-sized businesses. We set things up so they actually work, connect the tools you already pay for, and stay around long after the project's "done" to make sure it stays that way.
Most small businesses don't need bigger software — they need help making the software they have do its job.
Most small businesses already have most of the tools they need. The accounting software is fine. The store is fine. The CRM, the payment processor, the spreadsheets — all fine on their own. The trouble is they don't talk to each other, nobody has time to wire them up properly, and the whole thing slowly turns into a stack of late nights and copy-pasted reports.
The big consultancies aren't built for this work — their pricing assumes you have a six-figure budget and a year to spare. The freelancer route works until your one person disappears and nobody knows how the thing was built. Meanwhile, the spreadsheet that started as a quick fix has become the most important file in the business, and nobody wants to touch it.
We're the people you call when the spreadsheet has gotten out of hand. Small projects, fixed prices, plain-English scopes, and we stick around afterwards. That's it. No big pitch deck, no enterprise transformation — just practical software help that actually fits the size of the business you're running.
Six things we always do.
These aren't aspirational posters on a wall. They're how we decide what to take on, how to price it, and what we won't do.
Plain English
No jargon, no acronyms, no engineer-speak in the meeting. We explain what we're going to do — and what it'll cost — before we start.
Fixed-fee work
You get a quote, not a meter running. If we underestimate the work, that's our problem to solve, not a surprise on your invoice.
Show up when we say
If we promised Tuesday, it ships Tuesday — or you hear from us before Tuesday with a real reason. Quiet weeks are how trust gets lost.
Document what we do
Plain-English notes for your team: what we built, why we built it that way, and how to keep it running after we hand off.
Stay after launch
When something breaks, the same person who built it picks up. No tickets, no escalation queues, no "that's a different team".
Be honest about what's worth building
We'll tell you the cheaper path, the slower path, and the one we wouldn't recommend, and why. Sometimes the right answer is doing less.
A small team, set up for small jobs done well.
There's no project manager layer, no junior bench, no offshore handoff. The shape of the team is part of the value.
A small senior team
We're deliberately small. Every project is staffed with someone who has built this kind of thing before — no junior bench learning on your dime.
You talk to the person doing the work
No project managers between you and the build. The person on your kickoff call is the person writing the code and answering the support email later.
Boring, proven tools
We use the well-understood tools your team can hire for: mainstream accounting software, the major e-commerce platforms, common app frameworks. No exotic stack you'll regret in two years.
We document for your team
Everything we build comes with notes you can hand to a new employee or another consultant. Your business shouldn't be locked in to us.
Registered in Albuquerque, NM. Working with clients across the country.
Our office is in Albuquerque, but most of the work happens remotely — by call, screen-share and email. We work to your hours, not ours, and we'll come on-site when the project honestly needs it. No fake satellite offices, no overseas team you've never met.

Calls and support during your business hours, anywhere in the continental US.
Two ways to start a conversation — one for the brief, one for the bench.
Whether you're a small business that needs help, or a freelancer or partner accountant who'd like to work alongside us, we'd like to hear from you.
Tell us what's on your plate.
A few sentences is enough. What's the system you've outgrown, what's eating your week, what would good look like? We read every message ourselves and reply within one business day — usually faster.
Build alongside us.
We collaborate with independent developers, partner accountants and bookkeepers, and small consultancies. If you've worked on small-business software, billing systems or app integrations and you'd like a steady stream of honest projects, drop us a line.
A small team, available to you directly.
If you have a small-business software problem and you'd rather talk to the person who'll actually fix it, that's exactly how we run.
