Cloud practice management for accounting firms with client management, document management, workflow, time and billing modules.
Website: qount.io
Qount is a practice management platform built for multi-service accounting firms — those offering a combination of accounting, tax, payroll, and wealth management services — with the goal of running all firm operations from a single system.
Firms use it to manage client engagements across different service lines without switching between tools. The contact management features include client tagging, custom client fields, and non-client contact types, which is useful for firms that manage referrals, advisors, and prospects alongside active clients. Email features include mass email, delay send, and AI-assisted email generation, which helps firms handle high volumes of client communication more efficiently.
The platform covers workflow management with recurring tasks, project hierarchy, and QBO integration, alongside time tracking and billing. Its breadth across functions is a key selling point for firms that find single-purpose tools create fragmentation.
It is suited for firms ranging from solo practitioners to those with 200 or more staff, but is particularly well-matched to multi-service firms that want a unified operational platform and find specialist tools difficult to keep coordinated.
Per-user pricing (annual billing):
Includes 1 SMS line with 500 monthly messages; additional lines at $30/month.
