Built out of frustration with the tools that already existed

I've spent my career as a corporate accountant. I know spreadsheets, I know accounting software, and I know the pain of month-end close. When I entered the laundromat industry, I expected the accounting piece to be the easy part.

It wasn't. The standard systems on the market — QuickBooks, Xero, others — are built for general businesses. They're powerful in theory, but they're not built around the way a laundromat actually operates. They don't understand machine maintenance costs, utility benchmarking, per-store P&L, or the tax nuances that come with this industry.

Even with my accounting background, I found myself building workarounds, maintaining separate spreadsheets, and still feeling like I didn't have a clear picture of my business.

So I built SpinMetrics — with every feature I actually wanted, none of the bloat I didn't, and a price point that makes sense for an owner-operator.
