Your business has jobs nobody should be doing by hand.
Data entry. Log review. Reports built from scratch every month. The task everyone knows needs doing but nobody gets to. I sit down with you, figure out what’s eating your week, and we design a fix together — then I build it, and you own it.
You know the problem. I know how to build the fix. We work it out together.
No sales pitch, no platform to sign up for. Just a working session with the person who’ll actually build it.
- Step 1 · Sit down
Show me the work
You walk me through the task the way it’s done today — the screens, the spreadsheets, the shortcuts. I ask a lot of questions.
- Step 2 · Design it together
Sketch the fix, agree the price
We map out a solution in plain language. You get a written plan and a fixed quote. Nothing gets built until you say go.
- Step 3 · Build & hand off
It runs, and it’s yours
I build it in your accounts, test it with your real data, and show your team how it works. No subscription to me, ever.
Real problems, and what fixing them costs.
These are typical projects. Yours will be different — that’s what the working session is for.
| The problem | What we build | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Invoices and receipts retyped from email into QuickBooks | AI reads the attachments and drafts the entries for a quick review | $1,500–3,000 |
| Server, security or app logs nobody has time to read | A daily summary that flags what actually needs attention | $1,000–2,500 |
| Month-end reports rebuilt by hand in spreadsheets | Reports that pull from your systems and arrive on schedule | $1,500–4,000 |
| No clear picture of cash flow until the accountant calls | QuickBooks connected to AI: a weekly brief and plain-English answers | $2,500–5,000 |
| The same customer questions answered over and over | Draft replies written from your own policies, ready to send | $1,000–2,500 |
| Two systems that don’t talk, and someone copying between them | A connection that keeps them in sync automatically | $1,500–5,000 |
Straight pricing.

Running costs: most small tools cost roughly $5–50 a month in AI and hosting fees. Those bills go straight to you from the providers — I don’t mark them up or sit in the middle.
You work with me, start to finish.
I’m Marques. I spent years in networking and managed IT, and now I build AI tools for small businesses. I run my own businesses on the same kind of tools I’ll build for you — so I know the difference between something impressive and something that actually saves an afternoon.

What’s the job nobody gets to?
Bring it to a working session. Worst case, you leave with a clear plan and know exactly what it would take.
