Where they still lead

RCReports is a specialist that has spent years on this one question, with a deeper toolkit around it — cost, market and income approaches rather than our cost method with an investor cross-check, benchmarks, a compliance report, a Karbon integration and, on their higher plans, a wage lookup and an entity planning tool. A firm whose practice is built on these studies should look hard at them.

Where we beat them

it is on every seat, so no plan decides how many studies you run or who on your staff runs them — and the finished memo files itself to the client as a workpaper inside the system where the return is, with no integration to set up.

One seat, 18 modules

The reason the price comparison above is not like-for-like: a LedgerOS seat is not a practice-management seat with add-ons available. Every module is in it, at one price, and there is no tier that withholds one.

The LedgerOS pipeline board: engagements in Not started, In progress, Waiting on client and In review columns, each card showing the client, the work, its owner and its due date.
