Why a goat
The greatest of all time. Also, a goat.
Gus is the best there is at keeping books and filing taxes, and every line he writes gets checked by a licensed accountant. He is also stubborn about getting it right, unbothered by a mess, and he eats whatever you throw at him.
- Stubborn
He does not let go of a number until it is right.
- Unbothered
A shoebox of receipts does not scare him. Three years of nothing does not either.
- Eats anything
Send it in whatever shape it is in. He will sort it.
What you keep
Pick your bracket. See the year.
Most owners overpay because nobody was watching all year. Here is what a typical year with Gus looks like, by what your business brings in.
Kept in a year, after paying Gus
Gus mostly pays for himself here. The real win is fifty hours back and no April surprise.
Your part of the job
Deductions people miss
He knows what to look for in your statements. You never have to.
- Mileage on the truck
- Phone and internet
- Home office
- The new mower, all at once
- Square and Stripe fees
- Health insurance premiums
- Retirement contributions
- Meals on the road
- Kiln repairs and supplies
- Software you pay for monthly
- Licenses and training
- Startup costs
Written into the code for you
These are not tricks. They are on the books, and most owners never take them.
- Up to 20 percent off your business profitThe pass-through deduction. Most owner-operators qualify and many never claim it.
- Up to $5,000 a year for starting a retirement planA credit for three years, plus more for putting money in for employees.
- Up to $9,600 for each hire from certain groupsVeterans, long-term unemployed, and others. Gus asks the question when you hire.
Typical ranges from owner-operators like you. Your number depends on your business, and Gus will tell you yours straight after the first month. Not a guarantee.
The first of every month
One number. One sentence. Nothing to decode.
Gus tells you what you made, what you spent, and what to set aside for April. That is the whole home screen. Everything else is one tap deeper, and you never have to go there.
Not revenue. Not net of anything you have to look up. What you actually kept.
He watches what you will owe all year, so April is never a punch in the gut.
The only button on the screen. He answers like a person, and he says so when he is not sure.
Morning. You made $4,210 in August. Best month since May.
Send me August's bank statement when you get a sec. Takes me a day from there.
Heads up: you'll owe about $1,900 in April. Want me to set aside a little each month?
Taxes are filed. You're done for the year. Go do something else.
How it works
Send it. He'll sort it.
-
1
Send Gus a statement
Forward last month's bank statement. Takes two minutes. If he needs anything else, he asks once and then waits.
-
2
He does the month
Every transaction sorted and tallied. Done in about a day, not at the end of the quarter, and never by you.
-
3
You get the number
What you made, what you spent, what to set aside. In plain English, with the one-line why. Then he leaves you alone.
Not software you babysit
Gus does the books. A licensed accountant checks every transaction.
Every line that lands in your books has been looked at by a real person with a license and a name. Not a sample. Not a spot check. Every one, every month, before you ever see the number.
- Every transaction, reviewed
A licensed accountant signs off on each month before it closes.
- Every return, signed
Your tax return is prepared, reviewed, and signed by that accountant. Their name is on it.
- A straight answer, not a bot
Text Gus. If it is above his pay grade, a person looks and gets back to you.
- Built and run in the USA
The team, the accountant, and the company. All here, all American.
Every transaction from your statement, categorized and tallied.
Anything off gets fixed before it posts. Anything unclear becomes a question for you.
What you made, what you spent, what to set aside. Kept.
All year, not just April
Most accountants call in April. Gus checks in four times a year.
The people who overpay are the ones nobody was watching. Gus watches all year, so every quarter you know where you stand and what to do about it.
- January
Plan the year
Last year's return gets started, and you get a plan for what to set aside each month so April is already handled.
- April
Filed. Done.
Your return is filed and signed. No surprise bill, because you have been setting aside for it since January.
- July
Halfway check
Where you stand, what you will owe, and whether the set-aside needs to change. One text from Gus.
- October
Moves before year end
The equipment, the retirement contribution, the setup change. What to do before December so you keep more.
What you get
Same price every month. No hourly bills, no surprise invoices, no setup fee.

Meet Gus
The accountant who talks like you.
Picture the hardware store counter and the one behind it who has been there thirty years. Knows everything. Explains it in one sentence. Never makes you feel dumb for asking. That is Gus. He happens to be a goat.
- He leads with the number, then the one-line why.
- He flags problems early and calmly. No drama, no confetti.
- When he is not sure, he says so and gets a person to look.
- He never nags. One reminder, then he waits.

Done. $160 a month, starting next week. You won't feel it.
That one's above my pay grade. I've got a real accountant looking at it. Back to you by Thursday.

Straight answers
Things people ask Gus first.
Is Gus really a goat?
Gus is who you talk to, and he is a goat. Behind him is a licensed accountant who checks every transaction and signs every return. You never have to think about any of that. You just get the number.
Is this a real accountant?
Yes. A licensed accountant reviews every transaction Gus books, every month, and prepares and signs your return. If a question is above Gus's pay grade, he says so and that accountant looks.
What do I have to do each month?
Send a bank statement when Gus asks for it. That is it. No categorizing, no reconciling, no software to learn.
My books are a mess. Is that a problem?
Send what you have. A shoebox of receipts, a spreadsheet, three years of nothing. He will sort it and tell you where you stand.
Does this cover my personal return?
The subscription covers your business return. If your personal return is tied up in the business, ask Gus and he will give you a straight answer on what it takes.
What if I get a letter from the IRS?
Send it to Gus. He will tell you what it means in plain English and what to do next. Most letters are simpler than they look.
Can I cancel?
Any time, from the app. No call, no fee. Your books go with you.
How fast can I start?
Send a statement today, have last month done tomorrow. Most people are fully caught up inside a week.
