Texas has no state income tax. Every dollar you save on software stays in your pocket. The $2,001 annual savings from switching to Nexa is real money — not reduced by state taxes.
Whether you call it invoicing, a solution for jobs, or a invoicing system — most military families in Arlington string together ynab, QuickBooks, mint-legacy, usaa-tools plus other subscriptions. That's $2,280/year in monthly software fees. Across five years at today's prices, the total damage is $11,400.
Nexa gives you the ability to exit the subscription trap. Your CRM, invoicing, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one solution. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No duplicate data entry. No Zapier. No integration tax. It's a one-time purchase — save money the moment you switch. For military families in Arlington 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.
PCS orders just dropped — you're moving from Fort Liberty to Joint Base Lewis-McChord in 60 days. BAH goes from $1,467 to $2,073 but housing costs jump too. You need to break your lease, budget the DITY move (they reimburse but not for 8 weeks), and figure out if your spouse can transfer their remote job. Your pay will change mid-move: new BAH, COLA might kick in, BAS stays the same. You need a tool that can handle your budget completely changing twice a year.
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.

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 military family — 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Found something out of date?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.
