In my opinion, CCH Axcess is superior but also costs more. I think CCH axcess can be great if you set it up correctly but can be very messy if you don't invest considerable time in the setup. Overall, for the price we pay for Canopy, I'm happy with the product compared to CCH, …

Canopy works efficiently for all the companies, more so the CPA firms and other programs have no such advancement. The existence of an individualized client portal from Canopy is a remarkable step. Canopy records the due dates for a project and checks them when they are near or …

Interface is so much cleaner and intuitive. Logics didn't have transcript delivery at the time and Canopy had it from the start. Overall pricing was 35% better.

It is a slightly smaller scale version of avalara.

Cheaper to implement but not as good functionally. It totally depends on your company size and budget.

Avalara is well known and well studied while Canopy seems to be an up-and-comer. Avalara is much more flexible but again that …

I haven't really found any other product like Canopy. I've found many that if I put them together they might be a Canopy alternative but not just one program. For example, I've had one program for document storage, another for estimates and another for letters but in canopy …

For accurate and remarkable accounting processes, Canopy is the program to embrace. One, it has the project accounting details where every resource has a detailed accounting feature. Again, matters on taxation and state compliance are professionally handled by Canopy. The tracking of the due dates for finishing a given operation is an incredible step.

Pros
  • As TheCPATaxProblemSolver, Canopy is a great timesaver in helping me complete IRS Offer In Compromises. An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an IRS program that allows taxpayers to settle their liabilities for less than the full amount owed.
  • I use analytics contained in the state-of-the-art Canopy tax resolution software to calculate smart recommendations based on each unique case to arrive at the best solution and prepare successful cases.
  • Canopy tax has an all in one practice management software. It features Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Document Management, Workflow Management, as well as Billing and Invoicing

Cons
  • Canopy's time tracking feature is hard to get valuable data from without the pro version.
  • Canopy's dashboard for the workflow management could be better by providing a filter option of "Show me projects I'm assigned to and on which I am assigned to the current open workstep."
  • Canopy's training on the product could be better.

Return on Investment
  • Canopy has allowed us to reduce our dependence on an administrative assistant to communicate with our clients effectively through the document request feature in an engagement. It has a reminder system built in which frees our time.
  • The storage provided is robust enough that we have been able to eliminate our file server. We store all our client information in their individual record. Making some files visible to the client and and some not visible allows us to work remotely more effectively and not deal with problems with VPN over hotel networks.
  • Canopy combines multiple products into one platform that is seamless and consistent. It has helped us eliminate multiple programs used previously to complete these functions.
