OFFICETOOLS VS CANOPY

Canopy is a bona fide end-to-end solution.

End-to-end? That means (deep breath) client management, client portal, team communication, document management, document storage, eSignatures, project management, workflow automation, reports, invoicing, payment processing, and time tracking (exhale). Your firm will be delighted with how much they can get done in one place. And your clients will be raving about how easy it is to work with you. Truly. We mean it (no ruses or masquerades here).

“We switched from OfficeTools to Canopy over 2 years ago. The implementation and data transfer was almost seamless. The mobile app and client portal have been invaluable to our client base. We were implementing Canopy before COVID so when the shut downs hit we were already ahead of the game for being digital for everything with a portal and app that worked and was easy for our client base to use.”

WHAT OUR CUSTOMERS LOVE ABOUT US
leader_spring2023
“OfficeTools was a good product but not for us. The cost, the onsite server situation wasn't the best nor was their new Saas product. The initial sales person sold us on the integration with our tax software which made the product very appealing but the onboard, or lack of it, along with significant cost increases each year drove us to look for another product.

Chuck M. / CPA, Review from Capterra

capterra-shortlist_2023
Canopy [is] our new best friend. [It] 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.

Gavin T. / CPA, Review from Capterra

most-implementable_spring2023
“After working with [OfficeTools] for years, I wouldn’t trust them with my pet rock. Very unfortunate since I was originally a very happy customer. An advocate even. [...] they have become less interested in improving the product and listening to customers. There are good players in this space like Canopy just to start the list.”

Matthew Lincoln. / Previous Office Tools User

“We really appreciate the support team that were assigned to us for implementation. The transition from our previous software was seamless. Their customer support has been very helpful.”

Nathan G. / Small Business

“I switched to Canopy because they were able to offer all the services I needed for my practice in one application... They provide simple to use solutions for CRM, communication, client portal, and workflow management... Canopy makes it possible for all my clients to be under one "CANOPY". ”

Danny N. / Founding Partner

“I'm elated to have Canopy as a portal to allow my clients to easily upload their documents. Most clients have welcomed the shift to using Canopy as it is user friendly.”

Lisa B. / Owner

“Having a secure online portal made the need to meet face to face not necessary. Our firm is trying to determine if being 100% virtual is possible. Without Canopy, we couldn't even have that conversation.”

Jon F. / CEO

“Canopy's features are amazing, but the best thing about them is their response to consumer feedback, willingness to adapt their software, and support staff.”

Cassandra H. / Office Manager
