Not all CRMs are made for accountants. (Canopy is not all CRMs, fortunately.)
Traditional CRMs, like Zoho, are built for sales-heavy organizations. Track leads. Close deals. Convert accounts. Accountants, like yourself, don’t have the outbound heavy work that traditional sales functions require. You’re an in-demand expert. You develop and maintain close relationships and often get new clients via word of mouth. So it only makes sense that you use a system that works the way you do, without paying for features you’re simply not going to use. Canopy’s CRM was custom-built for the way accounting firms work.

With Canopy, you don't just get a CRM. Because we know that managing client relationships isn’t just about moving someone through a pipeline. It’s about proposing work and accepting a legal document. It’s about automating work. It’s about assigning work. It’s about having everything in one place for each client. Emails, notes, documents, invoices, tasks. Yes, you need a CRM. But you deserve more than that.
It's built for accountants
Sure, we have some correlating features with other CRMs. But the way our CRM is built? It's different. This is not a solution retr0-fitted for accountants in some slapdash way. 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.
Manage documents like a pro
Linking files with a client profile isn’t enough. You need to annotate, mark, and comment on those documents. You need to store documents relative to that client that only the firm needs to see. Oh, and you need to collect signatures. Don’t forget KBAs. When we say Canopy is custom-built for accountants and your needs, we mean it.
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.
