Canopy white-label alternative for firms that want branded books

Canopy gives accounting firms a good deal of branding control: logo, colors, the login page, invoices and email templates can all carry the firm’s identity. HelloBooks answers a narrower question. If the thing you want clients to see under your name is the bookkeeping ledger itself, the two products are built for different jobs, and the comparison below explains how.

Canopy’s branding, in its own terms

Canopy lets a firm apply its logo and colors, customize the client login page, and brand invoices and email templates. The client portal is served from a subdomain that Canopy owns, so the address clients see still sits under Canopy’s domain. Pricing is per user, which suits firms that want cost to track headcount.

Canopy’s strengths are in practice management and client communication, and many tax-focused firms use it for exactly that. If your clients mostly interact with you around returns, notices and document requests, a branded Canopy portal may cover what you need without any ledger change at all.

What changes when the ledger carries your name

HelloBooks is accounting software first. Under the White-Label License, clients sign in to a product with your app name, logo, colors and sign-in page, then categorize transactions, reconcile bank accounts, send invoices, pay bills and read reports without leaving your brand. The AI categorization runs inside that same product.

Your address begins on a hellobooks.ai subdomain as soon as you are licensed. A domain you own, along with email from your firm’s domain, comes at full launch rather than today. Firm staff are unlimited under one flat monthly license, and a single console shows where each client stands in its monthly close.

Choosing between a portal and a ledger

A useful test is to list the screens clients open most often. If they are signature requests and tax organizers, Canopy is the natural home. If they are cash position, unpaid invoices and profit reports, a branded ledger puts your name where their attention already is.

On HelloBooks each client company stays on a published plan, and the firm pays a discounted rate on every client plan while setting its own fees to clients. Data remains the firm’s property and is exportable. Founding firms are being accepted now for anyone who wants to pilot the model.

White-label license pricing

One flat license covers your brand, unlimited staff and the firm console. Your clients stay on published HelloBooks plans, and your firm gets 20% off each one. Founding firms go live first on a firm subdomain; your own domain and email from your domain follow at full launch.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Does Canopy let firms use their own domain for the client portal?
Canopy’s pricing page describes a client portal on a Canopy-owned subdomain, with branding on the logo, colors, login page, invoices and emails. Confirm the latest options with Canopy directly, since vendor features change.
Is HelloBooks a replacement for Canopy’s tax workflow features?
It is not designed to be. HelloBooks covers bookkeeping: categorization, reconciliation, invoicing, bills and reporting. Firms can keep Canopy for tax workflow and use a branded HelloBooks ledger for the day-to-day books.
How is staff access priced with Canopy compared to HelloBooks?
Canopy charges per user. HelloBooks charges the firm one flat monthly license regardless of how many staff members log in, and client companies each sit on a published plan bought at a firm discount.
Who invoices the client when a firm uses HelloBooks under its brand?
Your firm does. HelloBooks bills the firm for the license and the discounted client plans, and you decide how to package and price bookkeeping for each client in your own engagement terms.
