“I stopped checking 4 payment apps and started actually teaching. Cadence found $612 in late-pays I’d forgotten about.”

Imagine the 1st of the month coming and going — without you opening Venmo once.
It’s Tuesday at 4pm. You’re sitting at the piano with Sophia, walking her through a tricky passage of Bach’s Invention No. 4. The metronome ticks. You’re fully present, not half-distracted by which parents haven’t paid for September yet.
You haven’t opened Venmo or Zelle in nine days. You don’t need to. You trust Cadence has already nudged Sophia’s dad about September tuition — gently, in your voice, the way you’d have texted if you weren’t dreading it.
At 4:30, Sophia’s dad walks in to pick her up. You smile, talk about her progress on the Invention, and walk her to the door. No awkward eye-contact. No half-formed sentence about the payment. He paid yesterday. You knew before he did.

A few honest answers.
I take payments through multiple apps. Can Cadence handle that?
+
Yes — all five (Stripe, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App, PayPal) reconciled in one dashboard. That’s the whole point. Connect each one in about 90 seconds.
What about privacy for student data?
+
Encrypted end-to-end, stored in the US, never shared with third parties. Only you and the family see their records. Family contact info is never sold.
I teach group / family lessons. Does that work?
+
Yes — you can bill per family, per student, or per group. The ledger handles split tuition, sibling discounts, and shared payment days.
How do I cancel?
+
Any time, from your dashboard. Full PDF export of your student ledger. No phone calls, no “wait we’ll fix it” emails.
Your next 1st-of-the-month is closer than you think.
Your founding spot is here.
