New York has a 4-10.9% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 10.9%. NYC adds 3.08-3.88% city income tax. Self-employment tax burden among highest in US. MTA payroll tax in metro area. High workers comp rates.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $684/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Whether you call it billing, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most domain flippers in Albany patch together QuickBooks, Wave, FreshBooks, Square and other tools. That's $684/year paying for software subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that adds up to $3,420.
With Nexa, you own your business software. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — all in one platform. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. Zero integration overhead. It's a no subscription — eliminate recurring fees immediately. For domain flippers in Albany weighing the switch, the 30-day money-back guarantee covers the migration window — you can run Nexa in parallel with your existing subscriptions, verify the workflow handles your real client load, and only cancel the monthly tools once you are confident the data and processes have settled in.
The portfolio is the business, and the portfolio never sleeps. Morning is the renewal review: a dozen names expire this month spread across four registrars, and each one is a small decision, renew and keep paying the carry, or let it drop. The flipper checks recent comps to decide which dogs to cut. Then the inbox: an inbound offer came in overnight on a two-word .com through Afternic, lowball but a real human, so the day's negotiation begins. Before countering, the flipper pulls the name's true cost basis, original hand-reg plus six years of renewals, because the floor isn't what feels fair, it's what the name has actually cost. Midday is hunting: scanning the expired-domain drop lists, queuing a few promising names with the drop-catcher, and appraising candidates against past sales. Afternoon brings an escrow that's halfway done, the buyer paid but hasn't confirmed receipt of the transfer, so there's a nudge and a check that the auth code went through clean. A second buyer ghosted after agreeing on price, so that one gets a follow-up and a deadline. The day ends updating the portfolio tracker, marking which names sold, which renewed, which dropped, and totaling the month's carrying cost against the one sale that paid for all of it.
That is the work Nexa is built around: the job, the client, the hours and the invoice live in one place, so the paperwork side of the day doesn't need a second shift.
Every one of those was bought once and earns its keep for years. Nexa is priced the same way: $279 once, and it keeps working whether business is busy or slow.

We build a domain flipper's guide the same way every time, and we'd rather you trust it than take it on faith. Nexa is our product, so the test we hold ourselves to is simple: a tool only "wins" a job here when it genuinely does that job better for a domain flipper — and where something free, open-source, or buy-once does it better, we say so and link you to it. Where Nexa falls short (payroll is the honest example), we name the alternative outright.
Found something out of date? Prices change and we don't catch every move the day it happens. This guide is published and maintained by the Nexa team; if a figure here is wrong, tell us and we'll fix it — getting it right matters more to us than the sale.
