How CRM software helps accounting firms

Accounting firms rely on accuracy, tight deadlines, and strong client relationships. Given the complexity of managing multiple clients, tax deadlines, audit schedules, and financials, having a CRM system in place is crucial to staying organized and on top of daily tasks, ensuring nothing falls through the cracks.

A CRM for accounting firms is more than a platform for customer management. It enables you to automate time-intensive tasks, track project milestones, understand client data, and maintain long-term relationships with your clients.

Here are some key benefits of using a CRM for your business:

In an accounting firm, the reporting and analytics feature in a CRM is essential for decision-making as it delivers data-driven insights that enable informed and strategic choices.

  • Monitor and compare client service performance against previous periods.

I have used Act, Goldmine and Salesforce in the past, and I have found that Nutshell was the easiest to get started with and to set up custom fields. I would recommend Nutshell to others that are interested in an easy to learn and navigate CRM.

We left Hubspot for Nutshell because Hubspot was too complex. Nutshell makes software for humans.

Daniel H. EOS

When we were evaluating CRMs, the one deciding factor between Nutshell and Salesforce came down to spin up time and price. Nutshell wins on both counts (by a huge margin). Salesforce was 10 times as much per month for what we wanted.

Get more from your CRM with integrations

Relevant CRM integrations are key for the growth of your accounting firm. By linking your CRM with the accounting software you already use, you can gain valuable insights and boost efficiency.

Automating invoicing, tracking financial transactions, and accessing up-to-date client information all in one place will help reduce manual tasks, ensure accurate financial reporting, and improve overall productivity. CRM integrations ultimately enable your firm to provide better service to clients.

  • Accounting integrations: The right CRM for your firm should be compatible with the accounting software you are currently using. Accounting integrations with software like Quickbooks, Square, Xero, and FreshBooks simplify invoice creation, payment tracking, and financial reporting, making your operations more efficient.
  • Contract and proposal integrations: Nutshell’s contract and proposal integration options—from Docusign and Dropbox to PandaDoc and Proposify—allow you to store all the important client contract and proposal documents in one place.
  • Communication integrations: Communication with your team and clients is essential. From Zoom to Slack, Nutshell’s communication integrations allow you to initiate phone calls, start virtual meetings, and initiate webchats directly from your CRM contact records.
  • Scheduling integrations: Meeting scheduling software like Scheduler, Acuity, and Calendly is essential for efficiently managing client appointments. Scheduling integrations save time by eliminating the need to confirm appointments manually and ensure all key stakeholders are gathered for important decision-making.
