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 $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 payment tracking, a platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most maple syrup producers in Aurora piece together Square, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Wave and other tools. That's $684/year in subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that adds up to $3,420.

One click generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No integration hacks. Zero integration overhead. It's a no subscription — stop overpaying immediately. For maple syrup producers 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.
During the run he's up before light because the sap waits for no one; a warm day after a freezing night means the lines are flowing and the tanks are filling. He checks the tubing across the sugarbush for a vacuum leak or a squirrel-chewed line, because a break means sap he'll never get back in a season that's only weeks long. Collected sap runs through the reverse-osmosis unit to strip out most of the water first, saving hours of boiling and a fortune in firewood, then into the evaporator where it boils down across the pans. He's watching the thermometer and the hydrometer, drawing off only when it hits the exact density, because a degree too low and it'll ferment, too high and it crystallizes in the jug. He filters the hot syrup, grades it by color from golden to dark, and bottles into jugs and bulk drums. The sales are everywhere: retail jugs at the farm and online, wholesale to a couple of stores, and bulk drums to a packer, each graded and priced differently. He's exhausted, the season's revenue all crammed into this window, and he's not tracking which grade he's got how much of. Equipment receipts and the bulk-buyer's contract are tacked up in the shack.
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 maple syrup producer'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 maple syrup producer — 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.
