Decimal started in 2020 as an accounting firm for small and mid-sized businesses, growing through acquisitions including KPMG Spark (2022) and Facta Inc's accounting services business. In March 2026 it sold its direct services business to Numera and now operates as a franchisor, licensing its delivery infrastructure, technology, and playbooks to independently owned accounting firms. decimal.com still markets bookkeeping, tax, bill pay, and related services, routing SMB buyers to franchised local firms.

Decimal is a strong fit for two groups. First, an accountant or firm owner who wants to own and run their own accounting practice rather than buy a bookkeeping service: Decimal's franchise model lets owners keep 100 percent of their equity, clients, and name on the door while Decimal supplies delivery teams, playbooks, and shared infrastructure. Second, an SMB that wants a named local firm relationship backed by broad back-office scope, including bill pay, invoicing, payroll support, and daily transaction matching rather than month-end-only work.

An SMB buying through decimal.com today does not contract directly with Decimal; the engagement routes to an independently owned franchised firm running on Decimal's shared infrastructure. Decimal does not publish rates, tier thresholds, or an onboarding fee on its own site, so cost is not knowable before a sales call. Tax preparation is scoped in Decimal's own agreement to one US federal return and one US state return, and explicitly excludes verification of crypto asset amounts or transactions.

Details are drawn from Decimal's public materials as of 2026-07-28, including its site-wide notice of the March 2026 sale of its direct services business to focus on franchising, and may have changed since retrieval.

Decimal's own announcement states it sold its accounting firm in March 2026 to focus exclusively on franchising its platform to independent firms. Numera, backed by Astira Capital, announced on May 19, 2026 that it acquired Decimal's direct services business, including its team and client relationships, with Taylor Lund continuing to lead that team under the Numera brand. New engagements originating through decimal.com are now positioned as a local, independently owned Decimal franchise firm, with Decimal's delivery teams behind it handling the monthly close, daily transactional accounting, and client communication.

Yes. Business and personal tax filings are available on every Uplinq plan, and tax strategy packages are available for businesses that want proactive planning. Because the same system holds your books and prepares your filings, year end is a handoff, not a project.

Decimal does not publish rates on its own site. Its service pages state a fixed monthly fee based on the business's size and needs, with no hourly billing or surprise charges, and direct prospects to contact them for a quote. Its tax services agreement states that fees are set out in a separate Order Form rather than a published rate card.

Both, deliberately. Uplinq's AI engine categorizes, reconciles, and monitors your transactions continuously. U.S.-based professional accountants review what the system produces and own every judgment call. You get the speed of technology with a real team accountable for the result.

Tax is a separate service line under its own agreement, not included with bookkeeping. Decimal states a business does not need to use its bookkeeping service to get tax services, and that its tax team can work with businesses whose books are already in order. It offers federal and state return preparation and quarterly estimated payment forecasting. Its own tax services agreement scopes preparation as one US federal business income tax return and one US state return, and explicitly excludes verification of amounts or values related to crypto assets or transactions.

That's common, and it's a solved problem. Uplinq's Catch Up service rebuilds past months or years of books as part of onboarding, scoped to how far behind you are and the state of your records. You start clean, not from wherever your last provider left off.

No. Uplinq offers month-to-month agreements as well as annual plans, which carry a discount. If you prepay annually and choose not to renew, you simply give notice 30 days before the term ends.
