Financial Cents is the easiest product here to roll out across a small firm, and its per-user pricing is among the lowest. Every plan includes workflow and to-do lists, workflow automations, client tasks and requests, a client portal, a CRM, document management, time tracking, invoicing, proposals and engagement letters, e-signatures and a QuickBooks Online integration, and you can lock files behind an unpaid invoice. The Team plan adds integrated email and unlimited tags, client groups and custom fields. Scale, at $69 per user a month billed annually, adds the automation most growing firms want: auto-follow ups for client tasks, task dependencies, auto-created work, Zapier, an open API, a branded portal, profitability reports and integrations with Drake, UltraTax, ProConnect, ProSeries and CCH Axcess. Solo firms pay $19 a month billed annually. The catches are contract terms: every plan is a 12-month agreement, and monthly billing needs at least five users.
