You're not the only one who's had enough.
Tax Preparers face unique challenges: Extremely seasonal — 80% of revenue January through April. Client document collection is painful and slow. Managing hundreds of returns with different completion statuses. Off-season revenue from bookkeeping and planning is hard to build. On top of all that, Acuity Scheduling charges $33/month ($396/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median tax preparer earns $42,000/year. Software at $396/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Tax preparation software (Drake, Lacerte) is yours. You bought it once. Nexa works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.
Acuity Scheduling is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
