Colorado has a 4.4% flat income tax. Flat 4.4% income tax. Complex local tax jurisdictions — over 70 home-rule cities with their own sales tax rates. Denver occupational privilege tax ($5.75/month for employees).
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $888/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 payment tracking, a tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most firearms instructors in Arvada stack up Calendly, Acuity Scheduling, HoneyBook, FreshBooks and similar apps. That's $888/year paying for software subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $4,440.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, payment tracking, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one tool. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No integration hacks. No add-on costs. It's a pay once — keep more revenue from day one. For firearms instructors in Arvada 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.
9am first class — 6 students for an Indiana concealed-carry course. 10am classroom segment (state law, safe handling). Noon range time, you brought 500 rounds of 9mm. 2pm walkthrough of holster draw with two of the students who paid extra for one-on-one. 4pm class wraps, paperwork for the state. 6pm you reorder ammunition; the case price climbed $40 since last month.
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 firearms instructor'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 firearms instructor — 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.
