Compare Canopy to Alternatives
CRM as a part of Practice Management
Traditional CRMs (Insightly, for instance, to just randomly pull a name out of the blue) are built for sales-heavy organizations. They’re built robustly and, for the most part, to stand alone, leading to the necessity for a tangle of integrations. With Canopy, it’s all native. Your CRM is right there next to your billing. Throw in some project management, mix in actionable business analytics, and you’ve got a lethal (in the good way, not the “actually killing” way) combination that can help you build the firm of your dreams.

“Canopy – our new best friend. Canopy has allowed us to consolidate multiple functions into a single system that previously we were using several services for. Being able to send invoices and collect payments directly in our CRM has eliminated a lot of double entry and the file sharing has reduced administrative work.”

Why accountants prefer Canopy
Built for Accountants
Sure, we have some correlating features. But the way ours are built? It’s different. Canopy specializes in design specific to accountants’ pains and needs. Organize and group your clients just how you like to. Build email, client portal invitation, and client profile templates to help you smooth any repetitive administrative tasks.
Payments & Profitability
Traditional CRMs talk about opportunities and accounts, but for accountants, proposals and clients are the critical pieces. Not to mention payment information and collection. Easily collect payment details as a part of a prospect’s requirements before accepting a proposal. Dive deep into services provided, built in bill rates, and profitability.
Secure Client Interactions
Use a client portal that will serve you and your clients exactly how you need it. With requests, automated reminders, comments, document sharing, eSignatures, payments—all at security levels that will have you sleeping like a baby.
