Frequently Asked Questions

How much does proposal generation automation cost for cpa firms?
For CPA firms, foundational proposal automation projects typically start at $3,500 for fixed price engagements. The final cost depends on factors like your existing CRM (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot), practice management software (e.g., Karbon, Canopy), and the sophistication required for service line customization and pricing rules.
Is there a monthly fee after the initial build?
After the initial fixed price build, there are no recurring agency fees from us. You may incur subscription costs for third party tools like proposal software (e.g., Ignition, GoProposal), e-signature platforms (e.g., DocuSign, Adobe Sign), or API connectors (e.g., Zapier, Make) if not already in use.
What is included in the free systems audit?
Our free systems audit maps your current proposal creation process, from lead qualification in your CRM to service selection, pricing calculation, and final document delivery. We identify bottlenecks, such as manual data entry into Word templates or repetitive fee schedule lookups, to pinpoint exact automation opportunities.
How quickly does this pay for itself?
CPA firms typically see a return on investment within 3-6 months by reducing administrative time spent on proposal generation by 40-80% per proposal. This allows your team to focus on billable client work, improve proposal accuracy, and accelerate client onboarding cycles.
