Founding Operator — presale

Reserve a founding spot
Your $249/yr price is locked in for as long as you stay subscribed, even after the founding window closes and the price moves to $399/yr. It's an annual subscription: $249 today, then $249 each year after that. Cancel any time from the receipt email's billing link.
Full refund on request, any time before launch — and automatically if Operator isn't live by [REFUND DATE]. Refunds are issued from Stripe, no forms to fill out.
In ministry? Pastors, missionaries and ministry staff families get 30% off any plan at launch. This reservation already qualifies; just say so when Operator ships and we'll true it up.

Why trust us
Why one price for every company isn't a red flag
Most bookkeeping software charges you again for every LLC. We don't, because it costs us almost nothing to run one more set of books. You're not getting a discount. It's just a better way to charge.
Built on our own books first
Columnwell runs the real books of 102:18 INC and its family of companies today. We built it because we needed it.
Your books are always yours
Download everything, every transaction, every receipt, every file, any time, even if your payment lapses. Each company's general ledger, trial balance and journal download as CSV from the Reports page, and you can hand your accountant a frozen, verified package in one click.
If we ever close, you'll have time
Our Terms promise at least 90 days' notice and full access to export everything before the service stops. No weekend lockouts.
Built lean on purpose
No debt, no investors to answer to, and no army of bookkeepers on payroll. We don't need to raise money to keep the lights on.
Locked down
Two-factor sign-in, every change recorded in an audit log, backups we've actually restored and checked, and nothing goes out to a customer or vendor without your OK.
Low risk to try
Pay through Stripe. Founding reservations are fully refundable before launch.
