Vermont has a 3.35-8.75% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 8.75%. High cost of living. Small market. Tourism economy (skiing, fall foliage). No local income taxes.
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 invoicing, a program for jobs, or a invoicing system — most animal acupuncturists in Burlington stitch together Acuity Scheduling, Square, Vagaro, Wave and other monthly services. That's $636/year in tool subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, you're looking at $3,180.
Nexa gives you the ability to stop renting software. Your CRM, invoicing, 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. No sync fees. It's a buy once — save money starting today. For animal acupuncturists in Burlington 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.
At 9 I drive to a senior Golden Retriever with hip dysplasia, visit four of a six-week cycle. I do the session on her own bed because she settles faster at home, and I check gait and how she rises before I start. I place fine 0.16mm needles at the local hip points and the ones along the bladder meridian, leave them fifteen minutes, then add a little electroacupuncture at low frequency, and the owner tells me she's taking the stairs again. At 10:30 I'm at a vet clinic for a cat with stress alopecia; she's hiding in the carrier, so we go slow and I use only a few points with a towel wrap, and it runs twenty minutes long, which I can't bill. Noon is paperwork and the continuing-education module due this month, and I confirm the supervising vet's sign-off is current, because in this state I work under a veterinarian's referral, not on my own. At 1 I drive out to a barn to treat a horse with a sore back: palpate along the back for reactive points, needle with longer needles, and talk turnout and saddle fit with the owner. At 4 I see a rabbit recovering from GI stasis, handled gently on the floor with the owner there, just a few points and short needle time. At 6 I write up each treatment with points used, response and the recommended interval, send reports to the referring vets, invoice the home visits with their travel fee, and log the clinic visits under the referral split.
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 an animal acupuncturist'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 an animal acupuncturist — 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.
