Custom software development
in Houston.

Harrison Foundry is a Houston custom software development studio run by a finance and operations veteran. We build real tools to run real businesses — the software that schedules the route, tracks the hours, plans the budget, and replaces the workbook nobody wants to open. Operator experience guides the work, AI-enabled development accelerates it, and trusted technical specialists join when the project calls for them.

How we build

Better tools need more than code.

Harrison Foundry brings together practical business judgment, AI-enabled development, and the right technical depth for the job. The result is software designed around the work—and built to keep working as the business grows.

01

Operator judgment

Years spent inside finance, operations, transactions, and systems work help us define the right problem before we start building.

02

AI-enabled development

We use modern AI tools to move faster from idea to working software—and build intelligent features into products when they create real value.

03

Specialists when needed

A trusted network of engineers and technical professionals adds depth in architecture, security, scale, and specialized domains as each project requires.

What we do

Real tools for real businesses.

From route optimization for a trash hauler to time tracking for law firms to operating models for PE-backed teams—we build the working software a business runs on.

01

Operations & line-of-business tools

Scheduling, dispatch, time tracking, intake, inventory, field operations — the working software a business runs on every day. Built around how the work actually happens, not how a generic platform thinks it should.

02

FP&A & operating models

Budgets, forecasts, three-statement and operating models that reconcile to actuals — for owner-operators, CFOs, and PE-backed teams. Living tools for planning, not spreadsheets that go stale by Q2.

03

Dashboards, comp & incentives

Sales and KPI dashboards, inventory forecasting, route and unit-economics models, and employee compensation and incentive plans — modeled, stress-tested, and wired into a tool the team can actually use.

04

Products & internal tools

End-to-end software and calm internal tools across industries — replacing the spreadsheet, three forms, and an email thread with something that earns its keep. AI applied where it pays for itself.

For finance & PE teams

Financial modeling and reporting, systematized.

Years of FP&A, transaction support, and systems integration across private equity and owner-operated businesses — now deployed as tools, not workbooks. A systems-and-process-oriented approach to reporting and forecasting that compresses cycles and holds up under scrutiny.

Three-statement & operating models

Full P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow models — driver-based, auditable, and built to reconcile to actuals.

Budgets, forecasts & reforecasts

Annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and reforecast cycles that update in hours instead of weeks.

Cash flow & 13-week cash flow

Long-range cash flow modeling alongside the weekly 13-week view — two distinct tools, both wired to reality.

ERP & accounting system integration

Consolidating and normalizing data across multiple accounting systems and ERPs into a single reporting layer.

Management, board & lender reporting

Recurring reporting packages — variance analysis, covenant tracking, and board-ready outputs — automated end to end.

KPI, sales & unit-economics dashboards

Live dashboards for sales, operations, and unit economics that replace the Monday-morning spreadsheet ritual.

Industries

Industry-agnostic, on purpose.

The throughline isn't a vertical — it's operator-grade software built with people who live in the work. A few corners we keep getting pulled back into:

  • Waste & logistics
  • Legal
  • Commercial real estate
  • Private equity
  • Professional services
  • Healthcare & family
  • FP&A & finance teams
  • Owner-operated businesses
The throughline

Business experience to identify the right problem. AI-enabled tools to move quickly. Trusted specialists to add technical depth. Software that reconciles to reality.

Background

Inside the work.

Years of FP&A, financial modeling, and systems work across industries — three-statement and operating models, budgets and forecasts, sales and KPI dashboards, inventory forecasting, employee compensation and incentive plans, and route and unit-economics models (including one built for a trash hauler that priced fuel and disposal into every stop).

Alongside that, transaction work on both sides of the table — buy-side and sell-side support for private businesses, plus transaction support and systems integration across multiple ERPs inside private equity, where the numbers have to hold up under real scrutiny and the systems have to keep running on Monday morning.

That experience is now the front end of the studio. AI-enabled development helps move quickly from spreadsheet to working tool, while trusted engineers and technical specialists join as needed to help make each solution scalable, secure, and ready for the market—not just a clever prototype.
