By invitation · One platform · No per-seat pricing
Everything your business runs on, in one calm place .
Helm is the common-sense alternative to heavy cloud ERPs — accounting, expenses, hiring, e-signatures, and your people, working together from day one. Built by founders who got tired of paying more to use less.
No setup project. No consultants. No surprise line items.
The problem
Cloud ERP wasn't built for a company in a hurry.
The big platforms are powerful — and that's the trap. They're priced by the seat, sold by the module, and unusable until a months-long implementation is "done." You end up managing the software instead of the business.
The cloud-ERP way
- A line item for every seat, every module, every integration.
- Months of setup, consultants, and onboarding fees before it's usable.
- Built for specialists — your team needs training to do simple things.
- Features you'll never touch, cluttering the ones you need.
- You're customer #40,000 — your feedback disappears into a queue.
The Helm way
- One platform, one relationship. Every app included — no per-feature pricing.
- Works on day one. Log in and start — nothing to configure first.
- Plain language. Designed for the people running the business, not the manual.
- Only what you use. The apps you need, working together, nothing in the way.
- We actually listen. Small by design, so your needs shape what we build next.
What's inside
Five apps. One login. No setup required.
Each one does its job in plain language and shares the same data — so your books, your team, and your paperwork finally agree with each other.
Accounting & bookkeeping
Your books, always current
A clean chart of accounts and a clear transaction register. Upload a bank statement and it turns into entries — credits and debits, sorted. Export anything to CSV whenever you need it.
Expense management
Submit, approve, done
Snap a receipt, file the expense, send it for approval. Once it's approved, it flows straight into your books — no double entry, no spreadsheets emailed around the office.
Recruitment
Hiring, all in one pipeline
Post a role and collect every resume in one place. Candidates apply directly, and resumes that arrive by email land in the same pipeline — so nothing slips through the cracks.
eSign
Signatures, in order
Send a document for signature and route it to multiple signers in the order you choose. Word and PowerPoint files become signable PDFs automatically, and you get a finished signed copy back.
People management
Your team, organized
The people side of the business in one place — records, roles, and who does what. The same identity and permissions that secure the rest of Helm keep everyone's access exactly where it should be.
All together
One source of truth
The apps aren't bolted together — they're one platform. An approved expense is already a journal entry. A new hire already has the right access. Nothing to reconcile.
Why Helm
Built by the people who have to run the business too.
Made by founders, not committees
Helm is built by business owners and startup founders who've felt the pain of bloated software firsthand. We build for the company that needs to move fast, not learn an ERP.
We listen, and we ship
Being small is the feature. You talk to the people building Helm, your needs shape the roadmap, and we take you along for the journey rather than filing you in a queue.
Simple on purpose
Every app works without a setup project. Secure by default, plain to use, and priced around your growth — never around how many features we can charge you for.
Pricing
Simple, per-user pricing. No per-module surprises.
Every tier includes full access to the apps in its bundle, for every person on your team — no extra fees for seats, storage, or support.

Running an agency?
Priced by client capacity, not by user.
Agency tiers work differently from the per-user tiers above. You're not charged per person on your team — pricing scales with how many client companies you support, so adding people on your side never adds to the bill.
