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 $2,760/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 solo attorney in Burlington mix and match and other tools. That's $2,760/year paying for software subscriptions. Across five years at today's prices, those subscriptions total $13,800.
Switching to Nexa lets you exit the subscription trap. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — all in one platform. One tap books a client. One tap generates an invoice. No bouncing between tools. No integration hacks. No per-connection charges. It's a single payment — keep more revenue right away. For solo attorney 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.
Your day is measured in tenths of an hour, and the first discipline is capturing them, because the work you don't log is work you did for free. Morning might be drafting — a motion to dismiss, a settlement agreement, a discovery response — heads-down in Westlaw and the record, and the trap is finishing a two-hour block and not remembering to put it on the clock. You break to take a client call, which is its own billable event if you remember to note it, and to e-file a response before the court's deadline, because filing dates are hard lines with no grace. A prospective client calls wanting to retain you, and before you can say yes you have to run a conflict check against every party in your open matters. Afternoon is a deposition prep or a court appearance, then back to the desk to log the day before it blurs. Underneath all of it sits the trust account, which the bar requires you to reconcile exactly — client retainer money that isn't yours until it's earned, kept separate, accounted for to the penny. The lawyering is the part you trained for. The business that can sink you is unbilled time, a blown deadline, a missed conflict, and a trust account that doesn't reconcile.
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 solo attorney'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 solo attorney — 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.
