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 $1,092/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 invoice management, a program for jobs, or a invoicing system — most public speakers in Aurora stitch together HoneyBook, FreshBooks, Calendly, QuickBooks and other tools. That's $1,092/year in tool subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, the total damage is $5,460.
With Nexa, you own your business software. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one program. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No copying between apps. No third-party glue. Zero integration overhead. It's a buy once — save money the moment you switch. For public speakers 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.
Half my life is in transit and the other half is on a stage, so my day depends entirely on whether there's an event. On a speaking day I'm up early to get to the venue with margin, because the real enemy is AV: I plug in my own clicker, test my adapters against their projector, walk the stage to find the dead zones in the wireless mic, and confirm the slides advance from where I'll actually stand. I'd rather discover the broken HDMI port two hours early than two minutes before doors. I rehearse the open and the close — the parts that have to land — and I tweak three or four references so the talk speaks to this room's industry instead of sounding like a recording. Then I deliver, read the energy, adjust on the fly, and stay after to shake hands because the next booking often comes from someone in this audience. On a non-event day I'm a small business: answering inquiries from event planners, sending my speaker kit and fee, negotiating travel, and following up on an invoice from a conference six weeks ago that still hasn't paid. I update my demo reel with footage from last week and block rehearsal time for an upcoming keynote. The work is feast-or-famine, road-warrior logistics wrapped around twenty minutes that have to be perfect.
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 public speaker'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 public speaker — 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.
