 5/5

Biggest pain point resolution for us was the collaboration abilities: chat style with the ability to "call out" particular staff members and keep the notes. I will no longer hear "the client emailed me the info" or "the client texted me the info". Indispensable with remote workers, no more broken email threads!

Working with Financial Cents is helping us bring our firm to the next level! It helps us track all work being done in the office from annual tax returns, monthly bookkeeping and payroll to just returning a call to a client. All of that translates into the excellent customer service with strive for every day with our clients.

Ease of use. It is very simple but powerful. We were considering another software until we saw Financial Cents. With it's beautiful and simplistic design, it's helped to organize our firm and keep us updated with our clients on a more regular basis than ever before.

The software is so easy to use. There are instructional videos on many of the pages to guide you as you go, but even without the videos, it's pretty easy to navigate and figure out!

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

Financial Cents has one of the easiest UIs I've ever encountered. It's quick to learn, reasonably priced, and new features are constantly being released.

Why Financial Cents Outperforms Canopy Tax

We have more automation, visibility, and reporting to help you hit your deadlines and scale your firm

Canopy Tax wasn't built to track your deadlines

Canopy Tax does doesn’t give you the tools you need to collaborate with your team and efficiently track your deadlines. Financial Cents has a focus on project management. We built a robust workflow tool that can scale to a firm of any size to ensure nothing falls through the cracks.

You can't automate client data collection with Canopy Tax

In Financial Cents you automatically send clients recurring data request lists and FC will follow follow up with them until they complete the request. So you never have to waste time chasing down client info again.

You can't store client passwords and other sensitive information in Canopy Tax

Store all your clients’ sensitive information can be tough and sharing it with your team in a secure way can be even tougher. Easily store your client passwords, bank information, and more in one secure location so your team has everything they need to get their work done.

You can't identify which clients are over budget and costing you money in Canopy Tax

Quickly identify which clients are taking more work than you originally estimated so you can adjust your rates and boost your bottom line.

You can't optimize your team's workload in Canopy Tax

Get a quick overview of your team’s workload capacity, so you can manage resources more effectively, quickly reassign tasks, and ensure you deliver client work on time and on budget.
