Built to run
our own books first.
involy didn't start with a pitch deck. ThinkOpen built it to run its own invoicing and books, because the tools we tried were never designed for a business like ours.
ThinkOpen Inc. is a managed IT and cybersecurity firm headquartered in Los Angeles. We do digital transformation work for businesses of every size — setting up infrastructure, hardening security posture, and integrating the software stacks that modern companies run on.
Running ThinkOpen means invoicing clients, paying contractors, tracking subscriptions, and setting money aside for taxes. The tools we tried were built by accountants, for accountants: a chart of accounts before your first invoice, budgets that only see what is already in the bank, and invoicing that has no idea what your unpaid invoices mean for your cash.
So we asked a simple question: what would a money app look like if it were built for the self-employed — not retrofitted for them? involy is our answer. ThinkOpen runs its own invoicing and books on it, and we are now opening it to other businesses in early access.
The core insight
The self-employed don't earn in smooth, predictable paychecks. They earn in lumps — a $15,000 project here, a $4,200 invoice there, a retainer that sometimes pays on time and sometimes doesn't. Their real financial picture isn't what's in the bank. It's what's in the bank plus what they're legitimately owed.
Most tools ignore that second number. involy is built around it. We call it the receivables-aware budget: an honest safe-to-spend figure that already takes out your bills and a tax reserve, with everything you're owed shown right beside it — not just a cash balance dressed up as a budget.
The rest followed from that: invoicing that takes 30 seconds because the tool remembers everything; an AI accountant that categorizes your expenses and answers plain-English questions about your books; proposals that become invoices in one click; 1099 and W-9 tracking for contractors. One app. One source of truth. No accounting degree required.
Security is in the DNA
ThinkOpen is a cybersecurity firm first. That means involy was built with a security-by-design posture from day one — not bolted on after the fact. Two-factor sign-in is required on every account, the application's database access is least-privilege, and we take an offense-informed view: for every control we built, we asked how an adversary would bypass it. Your financial data is never sold, never used to train AI models, and shared only with the service providers that run the product — hosting, database, email, payments and AI — listed on our Privacy Policy.
We are ThinkOpen Inc., 5420 McConnell Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90066. involy is our product. If you want to talk — about the product, a partnership, or just the problem we're solving — reach us at info@thinkopen.net.
Four values we won't compromise on.
Built for owners, not bookkeepers
Every screen is designed for the person running the business — not for the CPA reviewing it at year-end. Simple by default, powerful when you need it.
Calm money
Financial anxiety is real. involy is designed to reduce it, not add more dashboards. One clear number — your safe-to-spend — replaces five tabs of guesswork.
Honest by default
Your data is never sold. AI answers are in plain English, not jargon. When a number looks wrong, we say so — we don't hide complexity behind a pretty interface.
Offense-informed security
We're a cybersecurity firm. We think like attackers when we build defenses. Every control in involy was reviewed from an attacker's point of view.
Millions of self-employed people deserve better tools.
The self-employed earn in lumps, not paychecks. The tools exist — they just weren't built for how independent people actually earn.
The money app you've been waiting for.
