Not all CRMs are made for accountants. (SPOILER: Ours is.)
Traditional CRMs (Insightly, for instance) are built for sales-heavy organizations. They’re built robustly and, for the most part, to stand alone, leading to the necessity for a tangle of integrations. With Canopy, it’s all native. Your CRM is right there next to your billing. Throw in some project management, mix in actionable business analytics, and you’ve got a lethal (in the good way, not the "actually killing" way) combination that can help you build the firm of your dreams.

A CRM isn’t just about moving clients through a pipeline. It’s about managing the relationship (it's right there in the name!). With Canopy, you'll see all communication efforts between anyone in your firm and your client in one place. You can give your clients a secure place to share and receive sensitive information.
Built for accountants
Sure, we have some correlating features. But the way ours are built? It's different. Canopy specializes in design specific to accountants’ pains and needs. Organize and group your clients just how you like to. Build email, client portal invitation, and client profile templates to help you smooth any repetitive administrative tasks.
Payments & profitability
Traditional CRMs talk about opportunities and accounts, but for accountants, proposals and clients are the critical pieces. Not to mention payment information and collection. Easily collect payment details as a part of a prospect’s requirements before accepting a proposal. Dive deep into services provided, built in bill rates, and profitability.
Secure client interactions
Use a client portal that will serve you and your clients exactly how you need it. With requests, automated reminders, comments, document sharing, eSignatures, payments—all at security levels that will have you sleeping like a baby.

Most CRMs are industry agnostic. Accounting is a very specific line of work that requires certain tools to effectively manage client relationships from beginning to end. Behaviors that require functionality that most traditional CRMs don’t have. Canopy is built for accountants and we constantly consult with our customers to make it a better solution for accountants every day.
When it comes to managing client relationships, accountants need more than just a traditional CRM, which tends to overindex on pieces that are less important to accountants. In accounting, you need a solution designed specifically for your unique workflow. And you need it all in one place instead of juggling multiple tools. Canopy is custom-tailored for the accounting profession—with essential tools like client portals, proposals, payments, and profitability reporting.
It's not necessarily about what we have or don't have, but how we've built it. We have a client portal built the way you and your firm want to use it. No need for workarounds. Same thing with billing. We have a built in engagements tool that allows you to pull from billing and task data to share prices and trigger tasks. No workarounds or integrations needed.
