Built for a practice, not a single plan
What Desk adds on top of the engine every client sees.
Unlimited client plans
One Desk seat, every plan Maya runs. No per-plan fee, no per-household surcharge. The engine is the product.
🔄
Connected-balance review queue
Auto-refreshed positions land in a review queue. Maya signs off before they hit the plan — provenance chip carries through to the client view.
📋
Quarterly review cadence
Every plan has a review clock. Maya's desk surfaces the quarterly queue and flags plans whose MC drops more than 5 points between reviews.
🔗
Read-only client share
Each client gets a mobile-friendly read-only link to their current plan. No client-portal app to install, no onboarding friction. Snapshot + history always in sync.
📄
Auditable exports
Every plan exports to a full Reconciliation PDF showing the engine's row-level math — ready for compliance, co-counsel, or a client meeting.
🧩
Same tiles. Both shells.
Household and Nomad clients read identical dashboards. Maya's vocabulary doesn't change between meetings; clients transfer comprehension as life patterns shift.
Fiduciary-friendly by design
What the Desk preserves for the file.
Audit trail
Every assumption
Plan changes are versioned. Rebuild any prior quarter's plan in one click.
Provenance
Source of every number
Manual, connected, or inherited — every field carries its origin chip.
Reconciliation
Tie-out to the penny
Beginning balance → growth → draws → spend → end balance. No black box.
Client share
Read-only, revocable
Mobile-friendly link per plan. No install, no account required for the client.
Run your practice on the same engine your clients read

Desk seats start at $399/yr (introductory). Unlimited client plans per seat. Add connected balances, AI explanation, and white-label client share as you grow.
