Canopy Alternative

A Canopy Alternative Built for Resolution — Not Adapted for It

Canopy is a strong compliance and practice management platform. If your firm is primarily resolution-focused, you may have noticed the workflow requires significant adaptation. TaxRes CRM was built around the resolution process from day one.

Everything a Resolution Firm Actually Needs

Built around the IRS enforcement timeline — not adapted from compliance software.

🎯

Resolution-First Workflow

TaxRes CRM's case pipeline is built around IRS enforcement stages, not filing deadlines. Every field, stage, and automation was designed for resolution work.

📄

IRS Transcript Import

Import and organize IRS transcripts directly into each case file: a workflow Canopy requires third-party integrations or manual processes to replicate.

⏱️

Enforcement Timeline Tracking

CSED dates, CDP deadlines, and collection hold status tracked automatically per case.

💰

Straightforward Pricing

Per-seat pricing without module tiers. Full platform: case management, client portal, document management, billing, and automation.

🔒

Secure Client Portal

Clients upload documents, sign engagement letters, and check case status without additional subscriptions.

RC
“I used Canopy. It is a well-built product for compliance firms. But I kept adapting it to fit resolution work instead of the other way around. Eventually I decided to build the tool that resolution cases actually require.”
Romy Cruz — Founder, TaxRes CRM

Common Questions

Is TaxRes CRM a direct Canopy replacement?

TaxRes CRM covers the resolution case management workflow. It does not cover tax preparation, payroll, or accounting workflows. If your firm is primarily resolution-focused, TaxRes CRM is a complete replacement for those workflows.

Can I migrate my case data from Canopy?

Yes. We help new firms migrate their existing case data and client records. Migration support is built into the onboarding process.

How long does it take to get set up?

Most firms are operational within a day. No complex configuration required: the workflow is already built for resolution practice.
