You Don't Have to Pick a Niche Anymore. You Get to Be the Expert in All of Them.
Legacy Small Business Consulting × AI for Accounting
For years, the advice to accounting professionals has been the same: niche down. Pick an industry, go all in, and hope you chose the right one. It is good advice, and it has made a lot of firms successful. But it always came with a quiet cost, because the moment a client from a different world walked through your door, you either turned them away or spent months learning their books from scratch.
We think there is a better way. Instead of forcing you to specialize, we are going to make you the expert, industry by industry. Not by sending you back to school, but by handing you the tools that already know each vertical cold. Law firms today. Contractors on Friday. A new industry every month. When that client walks in, you do not hesitate. You reach for the bundle built for their world, and you look like you have done it a hundred times.
Here is what is new this week.
Newest bundle: the Law Office Bundle
Some of the best things we build do not start as products. They start as a problem a real client is losing sleep over. The Law Office Bundle is exactly that story.
Law firms are not like other businesses. They keep two completely separate sets of books. The first is the operating side, the same books any business runs. The second is the one that can end a career: the client trust account, or IOLTA. Money held in trust is not the firm's money. It can never be commingled. No client's ledger may ever go negative. And the bank balance, the book balance, and the sum of every individual client ledger must all agree to the penny, in what is called a three-way reconciliation. Generalist bookkeeping simply does not do this, and it is exactly where firms get into trouble.
So we built the 17-agent Law Office Bundle to cover the full life of a law firm's books, from setup to trust protection to billing to firm performance. It sets up the operating books and a trust-aware chart of accounts. It protects the trust with IOLTA three-way reconciliation and a client trust ledger and balance monitor. It handles fees the right way, with earned-fee transfers, retainer and advance-fee classification, and collections. And it reads the firm like an owner, with cash flow forecasting, budget-versus-actual narration, KPI scorecards, and matter-level profitability and realization. In short, it does the dangerous, detailed, easy-to-get-wrong work so the professional can focus on the client.
It worked so well for the firm we built it for that keeping it to ourselves felt wrong. So here it is for you.

Coming Friday at noon: the Construction Bundle
The second vertical drops this Friday at 12:00 PM (noon) — the Construction Bundle.
Contractors do not ask "how did the company do this month?" They ask "how did job #214 do? Am I overbilled or underbilled on it? How much retainage is still owed? And does my WIP schedule keep my bonding line open?" Standard books cannot answer those questions. This bundle can. It follows the way a contractor actually runs money: cost the job → bill the job → pay the crew → prove the firm.
It is an 18-agent system. Twelve are agents you may already know, adapted for contractors — job-cost chart of accounts cleanup, cost coding and receipt capture by job and cost type, bank reconciliation, construction-aware adjusting entries and month-end close, 13-week cash flow (critical when retainage and slow-paying GCs squeeze you), AR collections to chase generals and owners, AP bill-pay for subs and suppliers, budget-versus-actual by job, worker classification, workers' comp audit prep, and a contractor KPI scorecard.
On top of those sit six brand-new, construction-specific agents — the heart of contractor accounting:
- Job Costing & WIP Schedule Builder (the flagship) — the work-in-progress schedule on cost-to-cost percent complete: earned revenue, over/under billings, gross profit and fade by job.
- Progress Billing Generator — owner and GC billings in the familiar G702/G703 shape, with schedule of values, work completed, stored materials, and retainage.
- Retainage Tracker & Reconciler — retainage receivable and payable by job, aging, and the cash trapped in holdback.
- Certified Payroll & Prevailing-Wage Report — WH-347-style certified payroll and statement of compliance for Davis-Bacon and state public jobs.
- Change Order Log & Margin-Impact Tracker — every change order, approved or at-risk, and its hit to contract value and margin. This stops the number-one cause of contractor profit leak: unbilled, unapproved changes.
- Bonding & Surety Readiness Package — the WIP-based financial package a surety actually asks for, with the ratios they watch.
Cost it, bill it, pay the crew, and prove the firm to a banker or bonding agent. That is a complete contractor system, and it is yours Friday at noon.
