The sector's most used task tool raised its monthly fee for its whole customer base by 20% to 37% in 2026.What CERNE does instead.One workflow per row, with the hours it gives back each month. The label shows what is still on the way.

Documents requested from memory and saved by hand → Requests by rule; AI reads the attachment and files it by client and period: 66 h (being built)

XML, statements and payroll events imported and entered by hand → Entries sent to the accounting books without retyping, with the reconciliation gap flagged: 65 h (being built)

BPO clients' bills in each client's own ERP → CERNE finance with client approval and OFX reconciliation: 60 h

Tax slip generated, saved in two folders and sent without knowing if it was read → Compliance calendar with the tax slip attached and read receipt: 32 h (being built)

WhatsApp on the firm's phone → Official WhatsApp with history per client: 25 h

Client status spread across three tools → One card per client and period: 16 h

What that is worth.

330 h of team time freed up each month, the same as 2.4 people (from 198 h to 511 h)

R$ 1,175 a month that stays in your cash register (from R$ 1,071 to R$ 1,342)

R$ 9.8K a month is what the freed hours are worth (from R$ 5.9K to R$ 15.5K)

A freed hour is capacity: more clients per analyst, without hiring. In the register, the gain comes from the tools CERNE replaces: task management, CRM, dashboard and compliance.Task management, CRM and dashboard: R$ 863 a month, list price. Compliance tool: R$ 208 to R$ 479 a month, based on Nibo's plans, because Acessórias and Gestta don't publish prices.What CERNE solves.Each square is 10 hours of the firm's month.
