When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,356/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 app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most fire performers in Broken Arrow string together HoneyBook, Acuity Scheduling, FreshBooks, Square and similar apps. That's $1,356/year in SaaS payments. In half a decade at today's prices, you're looking at $6,780.
Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, invoice management, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — combined into one app. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. Zero integration overhead. It's a buy once — eliminate recurring fees starting today. For fire performers in Broken Arrow 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.
The day starts with logistics that have nothing to do with spinning: confirming the venue has cleared the fire permit, that your certificate of insurance is on file, and that the contact knows you need a marked safety perimeter and a spotter on standby. You prep the gear methodically, checking the Kevlar wicks on the poi and staff, sealing the fuel in the dip station, and laying out the fire blanket, extinguisher, and damp towels, because the safety kit is non-negotiable. At the venue you walk the performance space looking for the things that kill a fire set: a low tent ceiling, drapery overhead, dry landscaping, and especially wind, which can throw flame in a direction you didn't intend. The client wants you spinning right up against the crowd for the dramatic photos, so you have the same conversation you always have about burn radius and why the audience stays back. You time the set for after dark when the fire reads best, dip the wicks, do a controlled test, and perform with the spotter watching your every pass. If conditions turn, gusty wind, a venue that quietly bans open flame, you swap to LED props rather than risk it. The day ends draining and storing fuel safely, inspecting the wicks for burn-through, and confirming the next gig's permit status.
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 fire performer'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 fire performer — 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.
