Boulder is home to about 105,000 people. The above-average cost of living means cpr instructors charge more for services — but their software costs the same as everywhere else. The subscription trap hits harder in expensive markets.
CPR Instructors in Colorado need a Business License. Requirements vary — contact your city or county business licensing office for current details.
Insurance: $500K-$1M general liability
Continuing Education: Check with state licensing board
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 platform for jobs, or a invoicing system — most cpr instructors in Boulder 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 platform. A single action books a client. A single action generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No middleware. No add-on costs. It's a no subscription — cut costs from day one. For cpr instructors in Boulder 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.
You load the SUV before sunrise: a stack of adult manikins, a couple of infant ones, the AED trainers, and a tote of lung bags and wipes. First class is a daycare staff at 8, so you set the room up in a circle, lay the manikins out, and clip the rate metronome to your belt. You demo the head-tilt chin-lift, count compressions out loud, then walk twelve nervous aides through hands-only and full CPR while watching their hand placement and depth. Halfway through you swap lung bags because a student blew too hard. Skills check is one-on-one: each person gets the manikin and the AED trainer, and you sign their skills sheet. By noon you're wiping down two dozen faces with sani-wipes and counting heads against the sign-in roster so the eCards match. Afternoon is a private two-person class for a couple adopting an infant. Back home, you log into the AHA Atlas to issue completion cards, email the daycare director the roster, and check who's coming up on a two-year recert so you can nudge them. The manikins air out overnight; tomorrow's a construction crew.
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 cpr 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 cpr 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.
