Referrals matter. Here's why I recommend Ignition to every professional services business

Every accounting and professional services firm owner knows the feeling—spending hours creating proposals, following up on invoices, and wondering when (or if) the next payment will come through.

For years, I was there too. As Reconciled grew, so did our administrative overhead. We were scaling revenue, but not efficiency. It wasn’t sustainable.

Then I found Ignition, and it completely changed how we sell, bill, and get paid.

Before Ignition, our workflow at Reconciled was clunky and fragmented. We’d draft proposals in Word, convert them to PDFs, email them out, then follow up with invoices through QuickBooks.

It worked (technically), but it was manual, error-prone, and made cash flow unpredictable.

And it wasn’t just us. Many of my clients—marketing agencies, consultants, and creative firms—were struggling with the same thing. Late payments, unclear scope, and inconsistent billing were draining their time and profitability. They thought that was just “part of doing business.” But it doesn’t have to be.

For firms today, admin inefficiency isn’t just an inconvenience. It’s a revenue leak.

Adopting Ignition was a turning point for Reconciled—and for me as a business owner.

What once took 20 or 30 minutes now takes five. With Ignition’s proposal templates, we can quickly customize scope and pricing, then send polished, branded proposals that clients can review and sign instantly. That speed has helped us win more work, faster.

With Ignition Payments, we collect client payment details upfront and automate billing. That one feature alone eliminated the stress of chasing invoices and turned our cash flow from unpredictable to consistent.

Within our first year using Ignition, Reconciled reduced year-end accounts receivable by 20%. That’s real money freed up—and it created momentum for further growth.

Because I’ve lived through this transformation, I share it every chance I get.

When I talk with peers or clients, I don’t pitch software. I talk about the business freedom that comes with automation—the ability to focus on strategy and client impact rather than admin.

I refer Ignition to:

• Accounting firm owners who want to scale without drowning in paperwork.
   
• Agencies and consultants who struggle with scope creep, late payments, and manual billing.

When I show them how Reconciled went from chasing payments to automating them, it clicks. They see Ignition not as another app, but as a way to strengthen their operations and client relationships.

If you’re curious how that looks in action, check out this customer story on Connected Accounting; they completely eliminated accounts receivable after implementing Ignition.

I keep referring to Ignition because I see what it does for firms like mine every single day.

For Reconciled, Ignition helped us double revenue within 12 months and cut proposal preparation time by over 80%. That means less admin, faster cash flow, and more time for what really matters—serving clients and growing our team.

For the firms I’ve referred, the results are similar: they improve billing accuracy, strengthen client communication, and feel more confident in their business finances. Many of them tell me it’s the first time they’ve had true visibility into their cash flow.

It’s not just about getting paid faster. It’s about building a more resilient, scalable business.

If you’re running a firm—or helping clients who struggle with slow payments, scope creep, or proposal overwhelm—Ignition is the platform that changes everything.

That’s why I continue to refer it to my clients, peers, and friends. Because once you see the results, you can’t imagine going back.
