“TaxDome to Karbon to Canopy and finally Financial Cents… by far the best move we made. So happy with the client portal and how everything flows. Thank you! So excited about tax season now.” A woman with short dark hair smiles slightly while sitting in a car, with trees visible through the window in the background.

Why users love us ❤️

Built for accounting, bookkeeping & tax firms

Unlike Taxdome, which is primarily built for tax firms, Financial Cents is a comprehensive practice management designed specifically for the diverse needs of accounting, bookkeeping, and tax firms. Regardless of your firm’s specialty or needs, you can streamline workflows on Financial Cents to manage all your client’s tasks.

Additionally, Financial Cents offers the scalability and flexibility to adapt and grow with your firm, eliminating the need to switch software as your service offerings expand.

“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.

A more robust workflow

Taxdome does a little bit of everything making its accounting workflow and automation features limited. Financial Cents on the other hand offers a more robust workflow and features to help you get work done for clients more efficiently and right on time.

Our workflow management features include a workflow dashboard that gives you visibility to track work done in your firm; workflow automation to help you automate manual tasks and recurring tasks; automated client requests to help you receive information from clients faster; an easy-to-use client portal and more.

“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.”

Streamline your work and client communication with AI assisted processes

Our AI integration helps you create workflow templates within seconds for any client tasks or project you may have, even if they seem out of scope, making work easier for you. You can tweak and save the email 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.

Taxdome’s AI features are limited to document management and reporting.

“Can’t say enough good things about it!”

“We are thrilled with the streamlined workflow Financial Cents brings to our firm! After much trial and error, with other products/companies over-promising and under-delivering, the cloud-based accessibility, affordability, intuitive interface, and INCREDIBLE customer support have made this an easy decision for us. Financial Cents is my top choice for efficient and effective financial management – 10/10 highly recommended!”

Financial Cents is rated 4.9/5.0 for ease of use on Capterra, while Taxdome is rated 4.5/5.0.

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.
