About
I've sat in your chair. That's why Navica exists.
I'm Max Ducharme, an independent Karbon implementation consultant. Navica means guidance.
At my own accounting firm, we adopted Karbon early. I set it up myself, went deep on templates and automations, and built the integrations we needed. I saw how much better a firm runs when the system fits the people, and how easy it is to end up with people working for their computers instead.
Today I help accounting firms, especially small and mid-sized ones, get the most from Karbon without losing the relationships their clients value.
