What is CPA Buddy?

CPA Buddy is practice management software for small bookkeeping, accounting, and tax firms. It is the firm’s HQ for client deadlines, document requests, a shared client inbox, engagement letters with e-signature, time and billing, and a built-in AI assistant, and it works alongside the bookkeeping, tax preparation, and filing software firms already use.

Fix what’s quietly costing you

Every disconnected tool leaks time and dollars. One connected system catches what’s slipping through.

Up to 5% CRA penalty

Missed deadlines

Miss one CRA deadline and the penalty starts at 5% of the balance owing, plus 1% for every month it stays late.

Automatic deadline tracking and reminders — never miss one.
~3 hrs/week unbilled

Lost revenue

Forgotten billable hours add up to thousands of dollars a year you earned but never put on an invoice.

Time captured as you work — it all lands on the invoice.
5+ disconnected tools

Wasted time

Re-typing the same client details across spreadsheets, email, and drives that don’t talk to each other.

One connected system — no re-typing, nothing to sync.

Your questions, answered

No. CPA Buddy is built for solo and growing firms with no IT person. The interface is designed so your team learns it without training sessions, and there is no implementation project.

Most firms are up and running the same week. You import your clients, invite your team, and start — no IT, no consultant, no migration project required.

If you can use email and a spreadsheet, you can use CPA Buddy. You can also ask the built-in AI assistant for step-by-step help on any feature.

Your data is protected with role-based access controls, a firm-wide audit trail, a recycle bin with safe retention, and data residency in the USA and Canada.

Pricing depends on your plan and region, with no per-feature gates — every plan includes the AI assistant, workflows, and core capabilities. See the pricing page for current plans, and start with a 30-day free trial, no credit card.
