Which one fits your firm
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.
Choose Truss if
- Solo and small US tax firms running 100 to 500 1040s a season wanting one tool for intake, workpapers, and prep capacity.
- Mid-size firms on UltraTax, Lacerte, Drake, CCH Axcess, or ProConnect wanting an AI-assisted intake layer in front.
- Tax-only firms wanting to flex headcount in March and April by routing overflow returns to a US prep team.
Think twice about Truss if
- Firms outside the US. Truss is built around US 1040 and K-1 rules and integrates with US tax software only.
- Firms wanting automated data entry into tax software. Truss stops at a clean workpaper PDF, Soraban handles that.
- Bookkeeping-led practices needing QuickBooks-deep integration. The QBO connector is not yet shipped.

About Truss
Truss consolidates intake, documents, workpapers, and return delivery into one platform for US tax firms. The intake layer uses AI checklists from prior-year data with zero-login uploads, and a distinctive prep-routing layer lets firms hand returns to Truss's US prep team or to AI prep at a fixed per-return price. Strength is workpaper organization and surge capacity, not auto-data-entry.
Best for US tax firms wanting AI intake plus on-demand US human or AI prep capacity for surge weeks.
