Frequently Asked Questions

How much does billing and invoicing automation cost for cpa firms?
For CPA firms, billing and invoicing automation projects are fixed price, typically starting at $3,500 for core automations like automated monthly retainer billing or time entry to invoice conversion. More comprehensive solutions, integrating multiple systems such as KarbonHQ, CCH Axcess Practice, and QuickBooks, can range up to $10,000 or more depending on your firm's specific workflow complexity.
Is there a monthly fee after the initial build?
No, our automation builds for billing and invoicing are one time fixed price projects, so you own the solution outright. Any ongoing costs are limited to your existing software subscriptions (e.g., QuickBooks Online, KarbonHQ) and any minimal usage fees from integration platforms like Zapier or Make, which are typically negligible for most CPA firms.
What is included in the free systems audit?
Our complimentary systems audit involves a deep dive into your firm's current billing processes, including how you track time, generate invoices from engagement letters, manage accounts receivable, and integrate with your general ledger. We identify specific bottlenecks, such as manual data entry between your practice management software and accounting system, and map out precise automation opportunities to improve cash flow and reduce administrative burden.
How quickly does this pay for itself?
Most CPA firms see a return on investment within 3-6 months by eliminating hours of manual data entry, reducing billing errors, and accelerating cash collection. For example, automating the generation and sending of 50 monthly retainer invoices can free up 10-15 hours of administrative staff time each month, allowing them to focus on higher value tasks.
