North Dakota has a 0-2.5% income tax. Very low income tax (effectively 0% for most solopreneurs under new flat rate). Oil economy in west. Low population. Fargo is primary market.
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 billing, a tool for jobs, or a invoicing system — most equine dentists in Fargo mix and match Acuity Scheduling, Square, Vagaro, Wave and other monthly services. That's $636/year in subscriptions. Over the next 5 years at today's prices, that bill reaches $3,180.
Nexa lets you own your tools. Your CRM, billing, appointment management, jobs, time tracking, and financial tools — under one roof in a single tool. One drag books a client. One drag generates an invoice. No duplicate data entry. No middleware. No per-connection charges. It's a pay once — eliminate recurring fees right away. For equine dentists in Fargo 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.
Like the farrier, you work out of a truck on a route, but your patient outweighs you by a thousand pounds and the work happens inside its mouth. At each barn the horse is sedated, usually with a vet's involvement, then you slip on the dental halter and rig the head to an overhead support so it's steady and at the right height. The full-mouth speculum goes in to hold the jaws open, and with a headlamp and mirror you examine all the way back, because a horse's cheek teeth grow continuously and wear into sharp enamel points and hooks that cut the cheeks and tongue. Floating is the core job, rasping those points smooth and balancing the arcades, by hand for light work or with the power float for heavier correction, and the back molars are both the most important and the hardest to reach. Sometimes there's a retained cap or a wolf tooth to elevate and remove. Throughout, you're feeling and watching a sedated animal that can still shift its weight or wake faster than expected, so safety is constant. Between farms it's windshield time and gentle education: an owner whose horse 'eats fine' often doesn't see why annual dentistry matters, and a lot of the job is explaining that quidding, weight loss, and bit resistance all start in a mouth they never look inside.
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 equine dentist'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 equine dentist — 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.
