Deadlines tracked. Documents collected. Every hour billed.
CPA Buddy is the HQ for bookkeeping, accounting & CPA/tax firms: clients, deadlines, documents, client email, and billing, next to your tax and bookkeeping software. Set it up yourself this week — no IT, no consultant.
CPA Buddy (also written CPABuddy or CPA Buddy AI) 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.
Keep your tax preparation, filing, and bookkeeping software. CPA Buddy runs the firm around it.
Every disconnected tool leaks time and dollars. One connected system catches what’s slipping through.
Miss one CRA deadline and the penalty starts at 5% of the balance owing, plus 1% for every month it stays late.
Forgotten billable hours add up to thousands of dollars a year you earned but never put on an invoice.
Re-typing the same client details across spreadsheets, email, and drives that don’t talk to each other.
These are the headaches firms tell us about every week. Each one is exactly what CPA Buddy is built to fix.
“Five tabs open just to answer one client question.”
“That filing date lives in your head and a spreadsheet.”
“Still sending “just following up on those documents…” for the third time.”
“The answer you need is buried in someone else’s inbox.”
“No idea what’s actually behind — until the client calls.”
“Hours you genuinely worked, then forgot to put on the invoice.”
