Keeping the dispersed team connected
Syncing with my Outlook email and calendar helps me prioritize my day. The project management side gives me visibility into my team's work. Karbon's functionality allows our bookkeeping and accounting teams to keep projects on track and ensure future projects don't get missed. I appreciate the insights into what is being worked on, the due dates and the workflow.

Best management software for accounting firms
Karbon is the top practice management app available on the market. We moved from TaxDome because of a lack of features and functionality, along with poor customer service.
Samy Basta, Basta & Company

Finally in control of my practice
There are many features I love, but overall, I love being able to see at a glance exactly where we are with client deadlines and what we need to prioritize. Before this, the practice management system I was using required me to download data into Excel, mess about for hours and the next day, it had all changed. I love being able to allocate work directly from my inbox, moving things to My Week to do later — it's great!

Firms under 50 users can choose either a Team or Business plan and the total cost is simply the number of users multiplied by the monthly cost of an annual contract. For example, for a 5-user firm on an annual Business plan, Karbon would cost $445 USD per month in total.

The monthly price depends on how many years you sign up for, and payment is required upfront:

3 years: $58 USD/month per user
2 years: $63 USD/month per user
1 year: $66 USD/month per user

For a 5-user firm on a 1-year TaxDome Pro plan, the total cost would be $330 USD/month.
