Karbon doesn't include e-signatures — you need DocuSign or similar. FirmFlow includes unlimited e-signatures in every plan.
Karbon offers a €3,600 onboarding package. FirmFlow is ready in 20 minutes with no training needed.
Karbon's client portal is limited. FirmFlow gives clients a branded portal for documents, signatures, invoices, and messaging.
Built-in messaging with push notifications. No more email threads — clients message you directly through the portal.

If your firm needs deep email integration (Karbon's Triage inbox is best-in-class), advanced multi-step workflow automation, or deep integrations with QuickBooks, Xero, and other accounting tools, Karbon is purpose-built for that. It's also stronger for larger firms (50+ people) that need sophisticated practice analytics.

For small accounting and bookkeeping firms — yes. FirmFlow covers the core Karbon use cases: client management, recurring invoicing, time tracking, document sharing, e-signatures, and team messaging. We do not have advanced workflow automation; Karbon has more there.
Karbon charges €59-€80 per user per month. A 5-person firm pays €295-€400/month or €3,540-€4,800 per year. FirmFlow is €29/month flat for 5 users — €348 per year. That is 90% savings.
Yes. Export contacts, clients, and invoice history from Karbon as CSV files and import to FirmFlow. We provide a step-by-step migration guide. Document files transfer manually.
Not yet — Karbon email-as-tasks feature is one of its strengths. FirmFlow uses in-platform secure messaging instead. If email triage is critical to your workflow, Karbon may still be a better fit.
FirmFlow is built for professional service firms — accounting, law, and consulting. Many of our features (client portal, e-signatures, recurring invoicing, time tracking) directly serve accounting firms. Karbon is more accounting-specific in its workflow tooling.
