Make your systems talk.
Custom software, legacy modernization and system integration for businesses whose numbers have to tie out. Built by engineers who understand accounting, not just code.
Example · PO #2291 · approved Thu 4:12 pm

One example per service
You didn’t start a business to babysit software.
Most businesses we meet run on a mix of aging custom software, spreadsheets and tools that don’t talk to each other. It works, until it doesn’t, and the owner is the one holding it together.
- Mon7:30 amThe inventory system only runs on the one PC in the back office. Nobody is allowed to restart it.
- Tue2:15 pmSomeone re-types every order from the job system into QuickBooks. Again.
- Wed11:00 amA customer asks for an online portal. The website can’t even take a form.
- Thu9:40 pmMonth-end, and three systems show three different numbers.
- FrianytimeThe developer who built the old system has retired. Nobody has the source code.
Six services. One discipline underneath.
Accounting-literate engineering. Every system we build or connect is designed around how your books actually work: the chart of accounts, the close, the audit trail. Numbers that tie out are the spec, not an afterthought.

Where we’ve been.
We’ve built and run the kind of systems we’re describing, at scales where the numbers had to be right.
Read the Historia Tattoo case studyEcommerce, from zero to $5 million a year
We built the systems that took an online business from its first order to five million dollars a year in revenue.
Web commerce at $1 billion a year
We’ve worked on web commerce systems handling a billion dollars a year, where every order has to reconcile.
Accounting integrations and double-entry ledgers
We’ve built many accounting integrations and double-entry ledger systems. We know the close and the audit trail from the inside.
