Effortless Financial Clarity: Blaide’s Success with Digits
Blaide is a software company at the forefront of the residential construction industry. They provide AI tools for contractors to streamline their operations, relieving them from tedious back-office tasks and allowing them to concentrate on delivering exceptional hands-on service.
What to Avoid
As a founder of multiple startups, Blaide’s co-founder and CEO, Michael Ducker, understood the importance of getting his accounting right to avoid the financial missteps he had experienced firsthand.
He had been burned by using various systems for different financial tasks—one for bookkeeping, another for forecasting—resulting in a disorganized and fragmented financial stack. Additionally, the lack of tools with seamless integrations led to significant inefficiencies and wasted time. These issues made accounting feel like a chore, characterized by tedious manual entries and constant back-and-forth communication with a hired bookkeeper, adding no real value to the business.
For Blaide, Michael wanted a comprehensive, integrated, and user-friendly accounting solution that would eliminate these manual tasks, integrate flawlessly across platforms, and provide a single source of truth for the company's financial records.

Michael set out to find a solution that not only maintained compliance but also provided a true understanding of the company’s finances so they could make decisions based on up-to-date information.
