One figure, one file, one close. The plumbing that kills the four-times-typing problem.

The plumbing
When something happens in one place, this makes it happen everywhere else. A receipt lands, and the spreadsheet, the books and the job sheet all update themselves. This is the piece that kills the four-times-typing problem.
Replaces: copying and pasting between apps all day.
N03Google Drive — Master Tracker
The one true file
Every number the business runs on lives in exactly one place. If a figure isn’t here, it isn’t real. No more three versions of the same spreadsheet with three different totals.
Replaces: "which version of this is current?"
N05QuickBooks Online
The books
Ordinary, standard accounting software. Deliberately boring and deliberately unchanged — your accountant already knows it, and it stays the official record.
Replaces: nothing. This part shouldn’t be clever.
N06GEE Close Pipeline
The month-end line
A six-step assembly line: receipts come in, get sorted, get checked by a human, get posted. The steps that used to be a stressful week are now a run that finishes and tells you it’s done.
Replaces: the month-end scramble.
