Financial Cents keeps the plan list short and the entry price low. The Solo plan, at $19 per month billed annually, is limited to single-user firms but includes workflow and to-do lists, workflow automations, client tasks and requests, a client portal, document management, a client CRM, time tracking, invoicing, proposals and engagement letters, e-signatures and the QuickBooks Online integration. A useful billing touch is the option to lock files behind an invoice, so clients pay before they download finished work. Team, at $49 per user billed annually, adds integrated email and unlimited tags and custom fields. Scale, at $69, brings auto follow-ups on client tasks, task dependencies, a branded portal, Zapier and an open API, and integrations with Drake, UltraTax, ProConnect, ProSeries and CCH Axcess. Every plan is a 12-month agreement, and monthly billing needs at least five users, so small firms are effectively paying annually.
