New York has a 4-10.9% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 10.9%. NYC adds 3.08-3.88% city income tax. Self-employment tax burden among highest in US. MTA payroll tax in metro area. High workers comp rates.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $636/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 sports nutritionists in Buffalo stitch together Acuity Scheduling, Vagaro, Square, Calendly and other tools. That's $636/year in tool subscriptions. Within 5 years at today's prices, that stack costs $3,180.
With Nexa, you own your business software. Your CRM, invoice management, calendar tool, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — wrapped into one program. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. Zero integration overhead. It's a lifetime license — eliminate recurring fees starting today. For sports nutritionists in Buffalo 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.
Your morning starts with reviewing food logs that came in overnight, and the recurring frustration is how incomplete they are, an athlete who skipped logging dinner three days running, another who clearly under-reports the weekend. You read between the lines, because a hungry-all-the-time endurance athlete is usually under-fueling, not overeating. The first consult is a distance runner trying to fix mid-long-run bonking, so you map her carbohydrate intake against her training calendar and build a fueling protocol for the hours before, during, and after her key sessions. You do a sweat-rate calculation with her to dial in hydration, because cramping is often just sodium and water math. Mid-morning is plan-building, the time-eater of the job, individualizing meals around a client's training load, weight goal, budget, and the fact that he hates fish. You message a triathlete's coach to make sure the carb periodization lines up with the coach's hard and easy days, because a nutrition plan that ignores the training is useless. Afternoon brings a body-composition check-in and a hard conversation about a client who's been skipping the recovery shake. You finish by updating fueling plans, sending check-in nudges to the athletes who've gone quiet, and prepping handouts for tomorrow's group session on race-day nutrition.
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 sports nutritionist'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 sports nutritionist — 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.
