Truewind vs. Canopy
Canopy runs your practice. Truewind does the close work in your clients' books.
Canopy is all-in-one practice management software for CPA, tax and bookkeeping firms: time and billing, workflow, documents, client portal, tax workflow and an AI coworker. Truewind is AI accounting software for firms delivering client accounting services. Its agents turn each client's statements and source reports into reconciliations, GL-ready journal entries and SOPs in Sage Intacct, QuickBooks Online, Intuit Enterprise Suite or NetSuite. They solve different problems, and a firm can use both.
Is Truewind a replacement for Canopy?
No. Canopy runs the firm: clients, work, documents and billing. Truewind does the reconciliation and journal entry work for each client, so the close work itself takes less staff time.
How does Truewind standardize client delivery?
Each client workflow becomes an SOP. An SOP built for one client carries over to similar clients, so every client's close follows the same steps, and reviewers see only the exceptions.
How do client documents get into Truewind?
Clients email their statements and reports, and the documents route straight into the right workpaper, attachments and message included.
Which ledgers does Truewind work with?
Truewind posts drafted journal entries to Sage Intacct and QuickBooks Online after review, and supports Intuit Enterprise Suite and NetSuite. Each client's ledger stays the system of record.
