Why This Matters for Financial Advisors

You have 80 active clients. Three annual reviews are scheduled this week, a prospect wants an introductory meeting, and the market dropped 3% so four clients are calling panicked. You need to document every interaction for compliance, send a financial plan update, and invoice two clients for quarterly fees. Wealthbox charges $45/month, Calendly is $12/month, and QuickBooks is $55/month. That's $1,344/year in software to manage relationships that are fundamentally about trust.

Financial Advisors face unique challenges: CRM costs — Wealthbox is $45/month, Salesforce starts at $25/month. Compliance requirements making every client interaction documented. Scheduling around market hours, client availability, and review meetings. Managing AUM-based and fee-based client billing simultaneously. On top of all that, Salesforce charges $165/month ($1,980/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median financial advisor earns $68,000/year. Software at $1,980/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Financial planning software (eMoney, MoneyGuidePro) 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.

FAQ

Is Nexa really a Salesforce replacement for financial advisors?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Nexa includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. Salesforce may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. Salesforce is $165/month — that's $6,643 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Nexa is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Nexa is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Nexa doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my Salesforce data?

Export your data from Salesforce as CSV, import into Nexa in about 5 minutes.
