This page is half a comparison, on purpose. It states the job a firm hires proposals, engagement letters and billing to do, and what Accute does against that job. It quotes no Ignition pricing and describes no Ignition features, because we have not run their software through a firm season and would be guessing in public if we did.
Proposals, engagement letters and billing
Get the engagement signed and the payment method captured up front, so the firm is not chasing scope or cash six months later.
That is the job. A firm shortlisting Ignition is shopping for it, and so is a firm shortlisting Accute. Everything below is what Accute does about it, and how you can check each answer rather than take it.
Three, answered in full, in the words we would use to a partner on a call.
Accute is the alternative we can speak for. Accute issues the engagement letter, collects the signature under PKI, and opens the engagement that letter describes, which is the same record the work, the time and the invoice then attach to. Scope changes are recorded against that engagement rather than in a separate proposal tool, and invoicing runs from it with automated reminders and gateway collection. Plans and payment for Accute itself live in the FinACEverse account gateway, not inside the product.
It depends on whether the firm expects to add services. Accute is one product inside the FinACEverse suite, and the suite shares one identity, one client portal and one audit trail. A firm that later adds tax filing, audit automation or a bookkeeping close is not onboarding a second vendor, reconciling a second client list, or asking its clients to learn a second login.
No. We have not run Ignition through a firm season, so we publish no pricing for it and make no claims about its features. This page states the job firms hire proposals, engagement letters and billing to do and what Accute does against that job, which is the only half we can be held to. For the other half, read what Ignition publishes itself.
Every line here describes a mechanism that exists in the product today, stated precisely enough to be wrong. Hold us to each one in a trial.
Proposals and contracts are records with approval workflows, obligations and counterparties, and the signature request hangs off that same record.
The document is hashed with SHA-256 and that hash is signed RSA-SHA256 under the firm's own key pair. Verification re-checks the signature against the stored public key instead of trusting a flag that says signed.
Obligations are tracked against the contract and an invoice can name the work it bills, so what was agreed and what was delivered sit on one record rather than in two systems.
Reminder policies are set once at firm level, and reminder rules attach to individual records with their own cadence and a cap on how many go out.
Client payments run through the payment gateway with webhook idempotency, so a callback delivered twice does not apply a payment twice. Accute's own plan and payment live in the FinACEverse account gateway, not in the product.
Questions decide this category. Put every one of them to Ignition, to Accute, and to anything else on your shortlist, and buy whichever answers them on a screen rather than in a sales deck.
The rules every page in this family is written under, printed here because you may never see the index.
Plans change, currencies differ and term discounts move the number. A price we captured once and never re-checked would be presented as current while being wrong, so we publish none. Every vendor below publishes its own pricing, and that page is the only one worth reading.
We have not run their software through a firm season, so we are not in a position to say what it does or does not do. Anyone who tells you otherwise about a product they have not used is guessing in public.
What each entry states is the job a firm hires the category to do, and what Accute does against that job. That half is ours, it is testable in a trial, and you should hold us to it.
So: no Ignition pricing on this page, and nothing about what Ignition does or does not do. Ignition publishes both, and that is the page worth reading for their half.
Ignition is the only proposals, engagement letters and billing product on this list, so the nearest comparisons sit in the other categories.
Run one real engagement through Accute, on your own client list, and hold every answer on this page against what you see. We will set that up with you rather than hand you a trial and hope.
Accounts and plans live in the FinACEverse gateway, so nothing on this page asks you for a card.
