Divorced & Rebuilding are leaving QuickBooks every week.

You're not the only one who's had enough.

Why This Matters for Divorced & Rebuilding

First of the month. Rent is due on your new apartment — the one you never planned on needing. Child support hits your account (or leaves it). You're rebuilding everything from scratch: new bank account, new budget, new life. The joint credit card still has a $3,400 balance your ex was supposed to pay half of. You need to track every dollar because your lawyer said you might need to show financial records. You need a system, not another subscription to forget to cancel.

Divorced & Rebuilding face unique challenges: Rebuilding credit after joint accounts were closed or damaged. Living on one income for the first time in years. Child support or alimony — paying or receiving — throws off monthly math. Legal fees depleted savings — no emergency fund left. Untangling shared subscriptions, joint debts, and mixed expenses. Emotional spending as coping — no system to catch it. On top of all that, QuickBooks charges $55/month ($660/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median divorcee earns $40,000/year. Software at $660/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.

Your Banking app (new accounts post-split) is yours. You bought it once. Helix works the same way — $279 once for invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, and full accounting. All connected. All offline-capable. You own it like you own your tools.

FAQ

Is Helix really a QuickBooks replacement for divorced & rebuilding?

For solo operators and small teams (1-5), yes. Helix includes invoicing, scheduling, CRM, time tracking, task management, and full accounting. QuickBooks may be better if you have a large team (10+) or need enterprise-specific features.

$279 seems like a lot.

It's $7.75/month over 3 years. QuickBooks is $55/month — that's $2,214 over 3 years. Which is more? And if you'd rather split it, Helix is also available as 3 payments of $99.

Can I pay in installments?

Yes. Helix is $279 as a one-time payment, or 3 payments of $99 ($297 total). Either way it's a one-time purchase — no subscription, no recurring fees ever.

What if I don't like it?

30-day money-back guarantee. Full refund. If Helix doesn't save you $500 in year one, you get every penny back.

Can I import my QuickBooks data?

Export your data from QuickBooks as CSV, import into Helix in about 5 minutes.
