Small businesses across a few favorite verticals.

We do our best work where the team is small, the questions are practical, and the answer is usually a tighter system rather than a bigger one. Here are the kinds of businesses we help most often — and the specific things we build for them.

Accountants & Bookkeepers

The build-and-fix work behind your client roster.

We're the people you call when a new client's books are a mess, when the same monthly report takes too long to put together, or when you need a portal that actually fits how your firm runs. We work alongside accountants and bookkeepers — not against them — and we'll happily stay in the background while you keep the client relationship.

  • Accounting-software setup and onboarding for new clients
  • Chart-of-accounts cleanup and historical data fixes
  • Branded client portals for document and report sharing
  • Bulk-data tools for imports, exports and journal entries
  • Reporting dashboards for monthly and quarterly client reviews
  • Integrations with the practice-management tools you already use

Professional Services

From a tracked hour to a paid invoice — without the copy-paste.

Consulting shops, agencies, law firms, design studios — the mechanics are the same. People do work, that work needs to turn into invoices, and somebody on the team has to know whether each project is actually making money. We tighten that loop end to end so you spend more time on client work and less on admin.

  • Time tracking that flows straight into invoices
  • Project profitability dashboards by client, team or service line
  • Client portals for proposals, approvals and shared files
  • Proposal-to-invoice automations that remove the rekeying
  • Matter, job or engagement tracking tailored to how you work
  • Retainer and milestone billing wired into your accounting software

Retail & E-commerce

Your store, your books and your bank, finally on speaking terms.

If you sell through Shopify, WooCommerce, Square, Amazon, or some combination of the four, you already know the pain — sales in one place, inventory in another, the books always a few days behind. We connect the pieces so daily numbers reconcile themselves and you can stop hunting for that one missing order.

  • Connecting Shopify, WooCommerce or Square to your accounting software
  • Inventory that stays in sync across channels and locations
  • Daily sales, fees and payout reconciliation done automatically
  • Gift card, refund and store-credit handling that doesn't break the books
  • Loyalty program and promotion reporting in one place
  • Multi-channel order routing for shipping and fulfilment

Trades & Contractors

Job-costing, time on site and a paper trail you can find.

Plumbers, electricians, builders, landscapers, HVAC crews — the office side of the business doesn't have to be the hard part. We build straightforward tools so the team in the truck can capture hours and receipts on a phone, the office can turn an estimate into an invoice without re-typing it, and you can actually see which jobs are making money.

  • Job-costing tools so each project's true profit is visible
  • Estimate-to-invoice workflows with no double entry
  • Field-team time tracking from a phone, with GPS where it helps
  • Receipt and expense capture by photo, sorted into the right job
  • Subcontractor onboarding, payment tracking and 1099 prep
  • Equipment, vehicle and inventory tracking across crews

Non-profits

Donor records, grants and program reporting — connected at last.

Small non-profits run on small teams and tight grants. We help you get more out of the tools you already pay for: donor systems that talk to the books, restricted-fund reporting that doesn't take a week to assemble, and donation forms that feed everything automatically. Boring infrastructure, big quality-of-life upgrade.

  • Donor management systems wired into your accounting software
  • Grant tracking with budget-vs-actual visibility for program leads
  • Restricted-fund and class-based reporting for board packets
  • Volunteer-hour logging and program-impact dashboards
  • Donation form, payment processor and recurring-gift integrations
  • Year-end acknowledgements and Form 990 prep support
The common thread

Different industries. Same way of working.

The specific tools change from one vertical to the next. The way we run a project — and the things we promise — does not.

We learn your workflow first

Before we recommend a tool or write a line of code, we sit with the people doing the work. Every business is different and the answer is rarely a template.

We use what you've already paid for

If your existing tools can do the job, we'll set them up properly instead of selling you something new. The best integration is often no integration.

We document what we do

You get plain-English notes for your team — what we built, why we built it that way, and how to keep it running after we hand it off.

We stick around for support

After go-live, the same person who built it picks up when you call. No tickets, no escalation queues, no "that's a different team".
