QuickBooks Online and Xero · live in 2–3 weeks · fixed price, published below · no hourly billing
Your monthly close, delivered on day 3.
I am an economist who builds data pipelines. Every month I pull your numbers
out of QuickBooks or Xero and turn them into the reports you are assembling
by hand today: the close, the management report, the investor update.
The sample is a real report from the pipeline, built with synthetic data.
Open it first — it takes a minute and tells you more than this page can.
If you email, you get a reply the same day and a 20-minute call if it looks relevant.
No forms, no sequence.

QUESTIONS
Likely questions
- What do you need from me?
- Read-only API keys to your accounting system, which takes about thirty minutes of your
time, once. From there I map your chart of accounts and build the pipeline — two to
three weeks, at the price quoted above. After that the reports arrive every month without
you doing anything.
- Is my data safe?
- Read-only API access, credentials stored encrypted, nothing shared with third parties. You revoke access in one click.
- What tools do you work with?
- QuickBooks Online and Xero today. Ask about anything else and I will tell you straight whether I can support it.
- What timezone are you in?
- UTC-3. My working day overlaps the full US East Coast morning and most of the afternoon.
- Is there a lock-in?
- No. Month to month after setup. If you leave, the pipeline and documentation stay with you.
WHO
Who is behind this
Ignacio Sarasola. Economist. I build reporting pipelines in Python
against accounting and banking APIs. Based in Ushuaia, Argentina, working on US hours.
You can check the work before you talk to me. I run
a public price tracker for the
Antarctic cruise market: it collects every published price daily, validates each one
against its source page, and has been running unattended since July. Same discipline
applies to your close — if a number cannot be traced back to where it came from,
it does not get published.
