“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

Yes. In fact, Canopy consistently ranks higher than Taxdome when it comes to ease of use and ease of implementation.

Canopy offers exactly what a CPA practice management software needs—from modules like Document Management and CRM, to automations that make accounting workflows fast and simple. Additionally, Canopy's leading Client Portal mobile app makes a CPA's hardest job (managing clients and their documents) a whole lot easier. Learn why Canopy is the better solution.

Yes. Canopy is a strong alternative to TaxDome for firms that need greater stability and accounting-first workflows. Firms often switch to Canopy practice management software for better support of multi-entity clients, more flexible billing, and tools designed for complex firm operations rather than lightweight task management. 
Canopy's billing functionality is more advanced than TaxDome's for firms with complex billing needs. Canopy practice management software supports bulk invoicing, group and related-client billing, customizable invoice numbers, and detailed client statements. These feature make Canopy billing better suited for firms managing multiple entities or high invoice volume.
