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 $972/year software expense is partially deductible — but Nexa at $279 once is a one-time deduction that eliminates the recurring expense entirely.
Short construction season. Ski industry drives seasonal demand. Fall foliage tourism. Harsh winters. Old housing stock needs constant maintenance. Energy efficiency retrofits growing market.
Cabinet Makers in Burlington should plan their cash flow around these patterns. Nexa's budget envelope system helps you set aside revenue during peak season to cover slow months — something QuickBooks can't do because it charges you regardless $43/month even when business is slow.
Whether you call it invoicing, a app for jobs, or a invoicing system — most cabinet makers in Burlington juggle QuickBooks, FreshBooks, Jobber and similar apps. That's $972/year in tool subscriptions. Over 5 years at today's prices, that stack costs $4,860.
Nexa means you stop renting software. Your CRM, invoicing, booking, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — wrapped into one app. One click books a client. One click generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No duct-tape integrations. No add-on costs. It's a one-time purchase — cut costs starting today. For cabinet makers 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.
You're building a kitchen — 14 cabinets, $18,000 job. Sheet goods: $2,800. Hardware: $600. Finish materials: $400. You're in week 3 of a 5-week build. The client wants to change the upper cabinet height after boxes are already built — 4 cabinets need to be remade. You have a bathroom vanity project starting next week and a quote request for a built-in bookcase. Shop time vs. install scheduling is managed by memory.
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.

Open on Reddit →We build a cabinet maker'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 cabinet maker — 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.
