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 $948/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 tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most ghostwriters in Aurora stack up FreshBooks, HoneyBook, Wave and similar apps. That's $948/year in subscriptions. In half a decade at today's prices, that adds up to $4,740.
Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, billing, scheduling, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single tool. One click books a client. One click generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No duct-tape integrations. Zero integration overhead. It's a pay once — cut costs from day one. For ghostwriters in Aurora 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.
By 8 I'm listening back to yesterday's interview with my business-book client, a founder who talks in stories, not chapters. I transcribe the good parts, pull the lines that sound like him, and build an outline for chapter 6 of 12: the opening anecdote, the framework, three examples, and a close that leads into chapter 7. The book is 50,000 words over four months, and I'm two months in. The problem is that chapters 4 and 5 have been sitting with him for three weeks unreviewed, and my next milestone payment is tied to his sign-off, so I send a polite nudge with a date and the short list of questions I need answered. Midmorning I write, about 2,000 words, keeping his verbal habits and cutting mine. After lunch I switch to my memoir client, an 80-year-old woman whose recordings I'm working through for her childhood chapter. I check dates and names with her daughter, because memory blurs. At 3 I write three blog posts for my monthly retainer clients, each in a different voice. Late afternoon is the business side: updating my chapter tracker with word counts and review status, sending an NDA to a new prospect, and writing a quote where I have to choose between per-word, a flat fee, or a lower fee plus a royalty share. I can't show that prospect my best work, since none of it has my name on it, so I send redacted samples.
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.

Open on Reddit →We build a ghostwriter'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 ghostwriter — 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.
