SERVICES

One method, four layers — take what you need.

Each layer is sold and contracted on its own. Automation is never priced blind — it's scoped and quoted only after Work is actually done, and signed as its own contract.

01

Work

THE PROBLEM

You need someone to actually do the accounting technician job — reconciliation, AP, filings, whatever the role covers — without committing to a full-time hire, the ramp-up, or the recurring salary before you know if it's the right fit.

WHAT I DO

I join your business as your accounting technician, hourly, for 2–4 months. The same day-to-day tasks a hire in that seat would handle.

WHAT CHANGES

The work gets done properly, by someone who understands both the accounting and what's worth automating — and you see exactly how the engagement runs before committing to anything bigger.

TIMELINE

2–4 months

PRICE

$40–$50/hour

02

Automation

THE PROBLEM

Doing the work by hand forever doesn't make sense once it's understood firsthand — but generic automation, built by someone who's never actually done the job, tends to miss the real exceptions.

WHAT WE BUILD

Automation scoped to exactly what Work uncovered — anything from a single workflow (invoicing, reconciliation, AR follow-up, GST/QST filing prep) up to the full role. Fixed price, quoted after Work, signed as its own contract.

WHAT CHANGES

The repeatable share of the job runs on its own. No manual entry, no chasing, no re-keying numbers between systems.

TIMELINE

2–6 weeks, depending on scope

PRICE

$8,000–$25,000 (single process to full role)

03

Judgment

THE PROBLEM

Automation handles the repeatable work, but every accounting function has a layer that isn't pure data entry — anomalies, exceptions, first-pass audit prep — and that layer usually still eats hours every month.

WHAT WE BUILD

An AI layer trained on your actual processes that gives exceptions and anomalies a first pass, and only surfaces what genuinely needs a decision. Available cloud-hosted (Standard) or fully self-hosted and fine-tuned for data-sensitive or regulated needs (Sovereign).

WHAT CHANGES

Less time spent scanning every line to find the two that matter. You still make every final call — the system just does the first read.

TIMELINE

Scoped after Automation is live

PRICE

$8,000–$15,000 (Standard)

$15,000–$30,000+ (Sovereign, custom quoted)

04

Support & Custom

THE PROBLEM

Systems need adjusting — a new tax rule, a new vendor, growth past what was originally scoped. And sometimes what's needed doesn't fit neatly into Work, Automation, or Judgment at all.

WHAT WE BUILD

Prepaid support hours for adjustments and anything post-handoff, or a scoped custom project for one-off requests that don't fit the ladder.

WHAT CHANGES

Nothing breaks silently, and nothing outside the three layers gets turned away — it just gets its own quote.
