FAQ
Questions, answered.
Have you built compliance software before?
Yes. WiseCost, built for US government contractors, covers DCAA-compliant time tracking, labor distribution and an audit trail on top of QuickBooks Online, and has more than 20 paying customers.
How much does it cost to build finance software?
It depends on the scope. Finance or compliance software usually starts from one of our fixed-price packages: Validate, $3,900 in 2 weeks for one core flow or one automated process; Launch, from $8,000 in 8 weeks; or Scale, from $15,000 in 10–14 weeks for marketplaces and heavy integrations. You get the exact price and launch date in writing before any code is written.
Can you integrate with QuickBooks or our payroll provider?
Yes. WiseCost connects to QuickBooks Online and imports payroll from any CSV export. Other integrations are scoped and priced up front, through their APIs.
How long does it take to launch?
A focused first version usually fits our Launch package: 8 weeks, fixed price. Platforms with several sides or heavy integrations take 10 to 14 weeks on Scale. The launch date is agreed in writing before we start, and it is guaranteed.
