Which one fits your firm
Choose Canopy if
- US firms running tax-prep software like Drake, ProConnect, or UltraTax that want one platform for everything else.
- Mid-sized practices that need built-in AI for checklists, email summaries, and form auto-fill.
- Firms tired of stitching together separate CRM, portal, billing, and time-tracking tools.
Think twice about Canopy if
- Firms outside the US. Canopy targets the US market only.
- Solo practitioners on the tightest budgets. At $74 to $149 per user per month on an annual contract, the commitment is hard to flex.
- Practices that need only one or two specific modules. Canopy is sold as a bundle, not à la carte features.
Choose Keeper (now Double) if
- Bookkeeping practices on QuickBooks Online or Xero that close 10 to 175 client books a month.
- Firms that want automated file review (categorizations, reconciliation gaps) before close sign-off.
- Practices that want a client portal tied directly to bookkeeping queries rather than a generic chase tool.
Think twice about Keeper (now Double) if
- Firms not on QuickBooks Online or Xero. Two-way sync targets those two ledgers (NetSuite/Sage Intacct on Enterprise only).
- Solo bookkeepers with very low client counts. The $200 per month firm fee assumes meaningful client volume.
- Practices that need engagement letters, proposals, or full practice management beyond close.
