You're not the only one who's had enough.
Consultants face unique challenges: Tracking billable vs non-billable hours. Multiple client retainers. Scope creep on projects. Late payments on large invoices. On top of all that, Xero charges $55/month ($660/year) — money that comes directly from your revenue. The median consultant earns $85,000/year. Software at $660/year is a meaningful percentage of that income, every year, forever. And you do not own anything.
Your Laptop 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.
Xero is just one piece. What else are you losing money on?
