Arizona has a 2.5% flat income tax. Flat 2.5% income tax (lowest in nation for flat-tax states). Transaction Privilege Tax (sales tax equivalent) varies by city. Phoenix TPT is 8.6%.
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 solution for jobs, or a invoicing system — most pet bed makers in Chandler cobble together Acuity Scheduling, Square, Vagaro, Wave and other tools. That's $636/year in SaaS payments. Across five years at today's prices, the total damage is $3,180.

For pet bed makers in Chandler 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.
The morning starts at the cutting table laying out a custom order: a Great Dane bed sized to an owner's measurements, so it's a one-off pattern cut from chew-tough canvas with a waterproof liner because this dog is a digger. The maker reinforces stress seams on the walking-foot machine, knowing a bed that splits at the zipper means a refund and a one-star review about stuffing all over the living room. Mid-morning is building an orthopedic base, cutting memory foam to a bolster form for a senior dog with hip issues, the kind of order where the why behind the materials matters. There's an embroidery run for personalized name covers, a popular add-on that needs the spelling double-checked. Afternoon is the business side: quoting a custom giant-breed bed where every order is its own pattern and pricing is a fresh calculation each time, plus a wholesale inquiry from a boutique. Materials are a constant worry, expensive foam and bulky canvas bolts eating both cash and the spare room. Between sewing the maker answers fit questions, manages a queue of custom orders at different stages, and tracks who's approved their fabric choice. Evenings are spent packing finished beds, reconciling fabric and foam receipts, and pricing the next custom quote so the margin survives the next foam order.
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 pet bed 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 pet bed 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.
