More to Come
What does every subscription include?
Shared infrastructure across all products. No software to install. No IT department required. Cancel anytime.
AI-Powered Analysis
Plans that include AI explain your data in plain language. Choose from models across OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google. We never use your data to train AI models, and the provider you select handles each request under its own API terms, which we do not control.
Cloud Infrastructure
Applications run on Google Cloud Platform. No software to install, no server to maintain, no IT overhead. Access from any browser. Data encrypted in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher, and encrypted at rest by Google Cloud (AES-256).
Flat-Rate Monthly Pricing
One flat rate per plan. No per-seat charges. No overage charges. Plans with AI include a daily AI allowance that resets at midnight UTC. No annual contract required. Cancel at the end of any billing period. Pricing is visible on the plans page before you subscribe.
Secure Authentication
Firebase Authentication with Google Single Sign-On. OAuth 2.0 for third-party data connections. We only read data from external accounts; we never write to them. Your credentials are never stored in our database.
The Silver plan includes AI analysis you can point at your own numbers. See the AI models we use, and read our blog for plain-language guides on financial analytics.
Can you build a custom application for my business?
What we build
Custom financial dashboards, data integration pipelines, reporting automation, client-facing portals, internal operations tools, API integrations between systems that do not talk to each other.
How it works
Start with a free 1-hour session. You get a plain-language plan and a fixed quote before any work starts. We build in stages and check in as we go. You keep your data. Code ownership and hosting are agreed in writing. Ongoing upkeep is there if you want it, never required.
Need a marketing site rather than an app? See our website builds.
What does a review of how you work cover?
A few sessions on one problem, a fixed quote before we start, and written findings you keep.
A look at your tools
Slow, patched together or just confusing? We go through the systems you use and tell you plainly what works, what does not, and what is worth fixing.
Where the hours go
We find the jobs that eat your week, like retyping quotes or chasing invoices, and rank the fixes by what they save and what they cost.
Picking the right software
Stuck choosing between apps? We help you compare them against the job you need done, and tell you what the switch would really take.
Using the numbers you already have
Sitting on reports nobody reads? We pick the few numbers worth watching and show you how to get them without extra work.
Running the business on workarounds?
Plenty of contractors, shops and restaurants patch the gaps with spreadsheets and late nights because the real fix looked too big or too costly. We set up the tools, fix the workflow, and show your people how to use it, at a price you see before any work starts.
