Why CPAs Love the Mobile App

Everything your firm runs on, designed for iPhone. No feature left behind, no compromises on security.

Manage Your Practice Anywhere

Step away from your desk without losing access. The CPA Buddy iOS app gives you the same client data, engagement tracking, and task management you rely on at the office — optimized for your iPhone screen.

Stay Ahead of Deadlines

Push notifications keep you informed about approaching tax deadlines, overdue tasks, and client document submissions. Never miss a critical date because you were away from your computer.

Secure Mobile Access

Bank-level AES-256 encryption protects your firm and client data on every device. Role-based permissions carry over from the web platform, so staff only see data they are authorized to access.

Free With Every Plan

The iOS app is included at no extra cost with every CPA Buddy plan — Solo, Starter, Pro, and Enterprise. Download from the App Store and sign in with your existing credentials.

CORE FEATURE

Your Full Client Directory, on iPhone

Every client record in your firm is searchable from your phone. Tap a name and see contacts, active engagements, recent emails, uploaded documents, and communication history — the same data you see on the web, formatted for quick mobile scanning.

Instant Search

Find any client by name, email, or company. Results appear as you type, so you get to the right record in seconds even with hundreds of clients.

Complete Client View

Contacts, engagements, documents, and email history are all accessible from the client detail screen. No switching between apps or tabs.

Linked to Web Platform

Changes sync in real time. Update a note on your phone and it appears on the web platform instantly. Your team always sees the latest information.

STAY ON TRACK

Tasks and Engagements at a Glance

Your task board and engagement pipeline travel with you. See what is due today, check team progress, and update statuses without opening a laptop. Real-time sync means your team sees changes instantly.

Task Board on Mobile

View tasks by status, assignee, or due date. Update task statuses with a tap, flag blockers, and see the full lifecycle from TODO through review to completion.

Engagement Progress

Every engagement shows its completion percentage, assigned staff, budget status, and upcoming milestones. Drill into individual tasks directly from the engagement view.

Push Notifications

Get notified when tasks are assigned to you, when deadlines approach, when clients upload documents, or when a workflow step needs your attention.

AI ON THE GO

AI Assistant and Documents in Your Pocket

The same conversational AI assistant from the web platform works on your iPhone. Ask tax questions, look up client details, or check workflow status using natural language. Browse and view documents stored in CPA Buddy without downloading files to your device.

Mobile AI Chat

Type questions naturally — "What is the T2 filing deadline?" or "Show me overdue tasks for Smith Corp" — and get structured answers instantly, just like on the web.

Document Library

Browse client documents organized by engagement. View PDFs and common file types directly in the app. Check document request statuses to see who has submitted and who is still outstanding.

Secure by Design

Documents are accessed through encrypted connections and never cached on your device without authorization. The same role-based permissions from the web platform apply on mobile.
