🛠️ HOW IT WORKS

We do it on your machine,
while you watch.

Setup happens over a remote session. You do not download anything, configure anything, or follow instructions on your end — we take control of the screen and do the work, and you watch it happen. Four phases, nine steps, every prerequisite stated before it starts.

🖥️

The part most people worry about

The usual fear with anything technical is being handed a set of instructions and left to follow them. That is not what happens here. Setup runs over AnyDesk remote control — we operate your machine directly while you watch.

You grant the session, we do the downloading, installing, signing in, connecting, and configuring. You can see every click. You can revoke the session at any moment, and the connection ends when the session does. Sessions are recorded and the recordings are yours, so you can rewatch or hand them to someone on your team.

Nothing is done on your machine that you did not watch being done.

THE SHAPE OF IT

Four phases

Nine steps grouped into four. Each step below expands to show exactly what you need, what happens, and what you get.

Phase 1

Prepare

We learn your priorities and confirm your machine can run it before anything is installed.

Steps 1–2
Phase 2

Install

Claude Desktop goes on your machine, signed in and verified. We do it; you watch.

Step 3
Phase 3

Configure

Your tools get connected and tested, then your priority skills are built around your business.

Steps 4–5
Phase 4

Run

Everything is tested, walked through, documented, and then supported on an ongoing basis.

WORTH SAYING

This is the self-serve path

Everything above describes setting the system up so you run it. That is the right choice for owners who want the capability in-house, and it is what the setup tiers on the pricing page cover.

If you would rather not run anything at all, the Back Office plans skip this entirely. There is no install on your machine, no connectors to authenticate, and no walkthrough to attend — the work runs on our side and finished documents arrive on a fixed schedule. Most people who are tired of month-end want that one.

START HERE

One month. Closed properly. $497.

Either path starts the same way: one real month of your books, closed properly, so you can judge the work before committing to a setup.
