Financial Cents vs UnCat

Financial Cents is an easy-to-use accounting practice management software that enables accounting, bookkeeping, and tax firms to get work done. We provide firms with workflow management and automation, team collaboration, uncategorized transaction management, seamless client management, task management, and automated client request features that help you grow your firm.

If you use Financial Cents for practice management and do bookkeeping in QuickBooks Online, you’ve got to try the new ReCats feature.
It pulls in uncategorized and booked transactions from QBO, and lets you reclassify them right inside Financial Cents. The integration between the two platforms is awesome… It’s made my workflow smoother and much more efficient.

Why users love us ❤️

One powerful software to manage your practice

Why use multiple apps to manage work, processes and uncategorized transactions in your firm, when you can use one app? Financial Cents practice management software provides you with all you need to manage your workflow, bill clients & receive payments, manage uncategorized transactions, track the progress of work in your firm, send our proposals and engagement letters, automate manual processes and repetitive tasks, manage your clients, collaborate and communicate with your team and clients all in one place.

UnCat like the name suggests is a software solely for managing uncategorized transactions. It’s a good tool if all you need to focus on in your firm is managing uncategorized transactions. If it’s beyond that, then Financial Cents is just the tool you need.

“Streamlining Bookkeeping to leave room for more Advisory”

I don’t have to chase clients nearly as much with their to-do lists and client portals set up. They can ask questions, and I can add accountability tasks for clients for them to be reminded automatically, and everything is pretty customizable – including the reminder emails.

Manage clients effectively

Financial Cents includes a client relationship management feature that helps you to improve your relationship with clients in your firm and deliver optimum satisfaction. Our CRM system helps to manage all your client information and communication in one place making it easy to access client data, keep track of client activities and interactions.

You also have access to view the audit trail of interactions between your team and clients to ensure you stay on top of all client updates. Never miss any client email again with our email integration which provides you with a client-only email focused folder. Communicate and collaborate with your clients with our client portal which helps you securely receive clients information and documents. Automate client requests, reminders and receive signatures from clients 10x faster with our client automate tasks feature.

UnCat lacks a built-in CRM, meaning you’ll need to use a separate software just to manage client information and communication.

“The business problem we are solving with Financial Cents is twofold. First, we are improving our internal communications. Second, we are ensuring that no project falls through the cracks.”

Michael McMullin | Managing Partner, Jack Trent & Co

Use the power of AI

Our ChatGPT powered AI integration helps you create workflow templates in seconds for any task or project you may have, even if they seem out of scope, making work easier for you. You can modify and save the workflow templates for future use within your firm.

You don’t have to spend minutes or hours when you want to send emails to clients or respond to their emails. Using AI inside Financial Cents, you can create client emails on the go.

The best part? You can save the email generated as a template inside Financial Cents, so you don’t have to generate them each time. Your team members can also have access to them and use them for client emails whenever they need to.

I love that it took little to no effort to understand, all of the intro videos were so helpful. They got me started on the right path. I love that it is like taking my brain and putting it into order. It helps me get/stay organized.
