Texas firms have two busy seasons. Both can stay profitable.
April 15 isn't the end of it — the Texas franchise tax report lands on May 15, right when everyone is exhausted and nobody is logging time. ViviScape Work captures billable work as it happens and shows time against fee per client, while you can still do something about it.

The fixed-fee client that quietly went underwater.
You priced the engagement in January. By March it's eating twice the hours — and you won't know until someone runs a write-down at year end.
Texas firms are licensed through the Texas State Board of Public Accountancy, and a growing share of the work is advisory and client accounting services rather than compliance. Fixed-fee CAS is exactly where unlogged hours turn into unpaid hours.
The state's relocation boom means a steady stream of new entities to set up, which is high-touch onboarding work that rarely gets fully billed. Capturing it properly is usually the difference between a break-even client and a good one.
Start capturing itWhere the hours go
- Fixed-fee work absorbs unbilled overruns
- Realization per client is invisible until it's too late
- WIP sits in a spreadsheet nobody trusts
- Staff time reconstructed at week-end, not captured
- Billing re-keys the same data QuickBooks already has
One system from the work to the invoice
Time vs. fee, per client
Every engagement shows hours against the fee you quoted, while there's still time to reprice or scope it back.
Capture time as you work
Say what you worked on; AI files it to the right client and service. No Friday timesheet reconstruction.
WIP & realization visible
Watch realization by client, service, and staff member in real time instead of at the write-down.
Native QuickBooks Online billing
Billable time flows into QuickBooks Online invoices directly — the ledger you already close on.
Made for Texas practices
ViviScape Work is one platform, but the workspace you land in is shaped for accounting and bookkeeping firms — and the way that work happens in Texas is not the way it happens everywhere.

Does ViviScape Work replace our tax software?
No. It sits alongside it as the client, workflow, and billable-time layer, then pushes billing into QuickBooks Online.
Can we see realization on a fixed-fee client?
That's the core of it — every engagement shows hours logged against the fee quoted, so an underwater client surfaces in month two instead of at year end.
We're a two-person bookkeeping firm. Is this overkill?
No. Pricing starts free and scales per seat, and the QuickBooks Online connection is the same one a large firm gets.
