Why accounting firms choose Karbon over Financial Cents
A more mature platform
Karbon and Financial Cents are both practice management software for accounting firms, but they’re not created equal when it comes to supporting your firm’s growth and scalability. Launched in 2020, Financial Cents is a no-frills tool with basic functionality and adequate features, which makes it easy to adopt but harder to scale up.
Karbon has more in-depth functionality in all aspects—from integrated communication and collaboration workflows to drag-and-drop Kanban boards and advanced practice insights. Karbon is built to enable 360-degree collaboration and visibility. Firms large and small can get started with either platform, but Karbon is the one you won’t outgrow any time soon.
