Ohio has a 0-3.75% income tax. Progressive income tax up to 3.75% (first $26K exempt). Many cities have local income taxes (1-2.5%). Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati are primary markets. Moderate cost of living.
When evaluating software costs, factor in your effective tax rate. A $1,920/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 tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most occupational therapists in Canton mix and match and similar apps. That's $1,920/year in subscriptions. In half a decade at today's prices, that bill reaches $9,600.
Nexa lets you break free from monthly fees. Your CRM, payment tracking, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — unified in one tool. One move books a client. One move generates an invoice. No switching tabs. No third-party glue. Zero integration overhead. It's a single payment — eliminate recurring fees immediately. For occupational therapists in Canton 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.
Morning is an evaluation, a retiree recovering from a wrist fracture who wants to get back to gardening and buttoning her own shirts. You take goniometer and grip readings, watch how she compensates reaching into a cupboard, and translate 'I want my life back' into measurable, functional goals an insurer will accept. Mid-morning is a pediatric session: a kid with sensory processing challenges who needs to regulate before he can sit for handwriting, so you run the heavy-work routine, then grade the pegboard task up as he settles. You document each session in language that shows skilled intervention, not babysitting, because the note is what gets the visit paid. After lunch you drive to a home-health visit where the patient's bathroom is too narrow for the recommended grab-bar placement and the real caregiver is an exhausted husband, so you redesign the toilet-transfer plan around what the room and the family can actually sustain. You fabricate a resting splint on the spot with heat-gun thermoplastic, fit it, and write the wearing schedule. Back at the desk, you handle an authorization that came back for six visits when the plan of care needs twelve, drafting the justification that ties more sessions to the specific functional milestones. You close the day building a home program a patient can run with a kitchen towel and a soup can instead of equipment they'll never buy.
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 occupational therapist'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 occupational therapist — 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.
