Think twice about Abacor if
- Solo bookkeepers with mostly async client work and few live meetings. Per-meeting savings do not pay back.

- Advisory or CAS firms running five or more client meetings a week on Zoom, Google Meet, or Microsoft Teams.
- US firms standardized on Dialpad, RingCentral, or OpenPhone wanting phone calls transcribed alongside meetings.
