Canopy vs. Wolters Kluwer Corporate Taxprep

If you want to have an all in one solution for managing you clients (from sales lead to loyal client) this is the answer. We rarely have to use other systems to take a client from a lead to completing their taxes or representation case. It's also given us the freedom to switch our business model to focus on value added pricing and shift to be an advisory focused firm. If you want to pump out hundreds of returns and don't care about managing your clients on a long term basis because you're a quantity over quality shop, you may not find value in the software.

Polyvalent and efficient solution suite for tax reporting

• As TheCPATaxProblemSolver, Canopy is a great timesaver in helping me complete IRS Offer In Compromises. An Offer in Compromise (OIC) is an IRS program that allows taxpayers to settle their liabilities for less than the full amount owed.
• I use analytics contained in the state-of-the-art Canopy tax resolution software to calculate smart recommendations based on each unique case to arrive at the best solution and prepare successful cases.
• Canopy tax has an all in one practice management software. It features Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Document Management, Workflow Management, as well as Billing and Invoicing

• Integration of corporate groups into one entity filing
• Link with Tax Forms and TaxPrep for Trust and/or Individuals to provide relevant data
• Multi-users plateform enabling time keeping, documentation of tax positions, etc.
• Express data entry with a comparison to prior Year

• Connectivity with Outlook for email tracking - the connection is sometimes lost and there is no notification. You just look for your email trail and there is nothing.
• Electronic signatures for multiple contacts on one document with some fields being optional would be a great help.
• Being able to see contact transcripts in the client record view versus just the transcript screen would be more efficient.

Very satisfied with the current features.

We had to contact the company many times because of the problems we were encountering. They were not helpful in any way

Canopy works efficiently for all the companies, more so the CPA firms and other programs have no such advancement. The existence of an individualized client portal from Canopy is a remarkable step. Canopy records the due dates for a project and checks them when they are near or notifies the user.
