Not a Bay Area agency. Not an offshore shop. Orange County's operators shouldn't have to choose between a Bay Area agency and an offshore shop.
Irvine's office parks run on document-heavy back-office work: intake, onboarding, billing, reporting, compliance. AmiFi is a senior, US-based engineering firm in the South Bay, a drive up the 405. We automate that work into the systems you already run, close enough to sit in your conference room when the work calls for it.
The billable work is fine. The work around it is the problem.
Client intake and onboarding by hand.
For a law, accounting, or insurance practice, every new matter or client means the same forms, checks, and data entry, done manually, over and over.
Document collection and review that never ends.
Chasing paperwork, sorting it, and pulling the right details out by hand, on every engagement. For medical-device and life-science teams, add the regulatory documentation on top.
Recurring reporting rebuilt from scratch.
The monthly or quarterly report someone exports, pastes, and reformats every cycle, hours that produce nothing new.
Systems that were never connected.
The practice-management tool, the CRM, the billing system, and a stack of spreadsheets, with a person copying data between them all day.
Property and portfolio busywork.
For real estate and property managers, tenant comms, leasing paperwork, rent reconciliation, and owner reporting, all manual, all month-end.
Billing and collections that slip.
Invoices assembled by hand and follow-ups that fall through the cracks, turning finished work into revenue that arrives late or not at all.
We drive down, sit in your Irvine office, then build.
Same senior engineers from the first meeting to production. No account handed to a junior, no discovery run from an offshore template.

Intro Call, Over Meet
FREE · 30 MIN · GOOGLE MEETThirty minutes over Google Meet. Walk us through how a matter, a client, or a report actually moves through your systems, the real version, not the one in the process doc, and who runs intake, billing, and reporting.
You'll get an honest read on the call. If automation won't earn its keep, we tell you and part as friends. If it will, we name the highest-value targets and quote the Roadmap, which is where we drive down and sit in your office.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH- An honest read on whether automation is worth it for you
- The highest-value targets in your back office, ranked
- A fixed fee for the Roadmap if you want to go deeper

The Automation Roadmap
FIXED FEE · 2 WEEKSA fixed-fee, two-week engagement. It usually opens with a day or two on-site, mapping how your practice-management, CRM, and billing systems really connect, and ranking the automation targets by projected time and dollar return.
You get a written plan you own and a fixed build quote. Build with us and the Roadmap fee comes off the price; take it to your own team, and it stands on its own.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH- A map of your back-office workflows and where the hours leak
- Ranked automation targets with projected returns
- An integration plan that fits your existing systems and compliance
- A fixed quote and timeline for the build

Build, Integrate, Support
FIXED SCOPE · WEEKSYou approve a fixed scope before we write code. Then we build the automation into the tools you already run, ship working software in weeks, and train your team before we call it done.
Everything is yours: code, data, documentation. We support it on terms that fit your firm, and being up the freeway means we come out when the work calls for it.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH- Production software running inside your systems
- Training and documentation for your team
- Support sized to how your practice operates
Local enough to show up. Senior enough to trust.
- A drive up the 405, not a red-eye or a time zone.
We're based in the South Bay and Orange County is familiar territory. The first call is over Google Meet, but a visit is a drive up the 405, not a travel line item, so you get a local firm without paying agency travel.
- Senior, US-based engineers only.
Every engineer is a US citizen working in the United States. No offshore shop, no junior on your retainer, no overseas access to your client data.
- Fixed quotes, no open-ended billing.
A defined-scope build is a fixed quote you approve before we start, and changes are quoted, never buried in a runaway invoice. Support runs as a retainer, and when a flat rate doesn't make sense we work hourly against a cap you approve.
- Built for regulated, audited work.
PCI-DSS implementations, KYC and AML programs, and Fortune 500 healthcare systems. We build to the compliance requirements your clients and regulators expect.
What Irvine operators ask first.
Do you come to us in Irvine?
Yes, when the work calls for it. The first call is 30 minutes over Google Meet, so there's no drive to schedule around before you have a straight read. If it makes sense to go further, AmiFi is based in the South Bay, a drive up the 405, so a visit to Orange County is a drive, not a travel line item, and the Roadmap usually opens with observation days at your office, because a real workflow rarely maps itself over a webinar.
Why you instead of a Bay Area agency or an offshore shop?
A senior, US-based team that can sit in your Irvine conference room is a different thing from a Bay Area agency billing agency rates from three hundred miles away, or an offshore shop you'll never meet. You get the engineers who do the work, local enough to show up, at a fraction of the cost of a full-time hire.
What kinds of Irvine businesses do you work with?
The operators that fill Irvine's office parks: law firms, accounting and insurance practices, medical-device and life-science companies, real estate and property management groups, and the tech offices around the Spectrum and UCI. The common thread is repetitive, document-heavy back-office work that a senior team can automate.
What does it cost?
No published number. The first call is free. The two-week Automation Roadmap is a single fixed fee, quoted on that call. When the scope is clear, a build is a fixed quote you approve up front; when a flat rate doesn't make sense, we work hourly against a cap you approve. Build with us and the Roadmap fee is credited against it.
Remote or on-site?
The free intro call is over Google Meet, always. The Roadmap usually opens with observation days on-site in Irvine, and build work is mostly remote; we come out when the work calls for it. Being up the freeway rather than overseas means a visit is a drive, not a logistics problem.
