Promptful Consulting builds custom software for small-to-midsize accounting firms and CPAs in Birmingham, Alabama: secure client document collection portals, structured intake and onboarding forms, workflow tracking for returns and engagements and deadlines, and reporting dashboards built on the firm’s real data. Software the firm owns. Flat project pricing from $3,000 to $25,000.

Tax season shouldn’t feel like a disaster every year.

Accounting firms in Birmingham run on deadlines, documents, and client communication — and most of that still happens through email chains, shared drives, and spreadsheets that don’t talk to each other.

I build custom software for small-to-midsize accounting firms that streamlines the operational side of your practice. Not another SaaS subscription. Software built around your workflows that you own.

What I build for accountants

Client document collection

Secure upload portals where clients submit documents directly. No more chasing emails and attachments.

Intake and onboarding

Structured intake forms that collect the right information and route it to the right team member from day one.

Workflow tracking

See where every return, engagement, or deliverable stands. Track deadlines, assignments, and status without a spreadsheet.

Reporting

Custom dashboards that pull from your real data. Revenue, workload, capacity, client status — whatever metrics matter to your firm.

What it costs

Projects range from $3,000 to $25,000. A focused client portal or intake system starts at the lower end. A full practice workflow platform runs higher.

Flat pricing. You own the code. No monthly fees to me.

Where to go next

Same approach on every project: flat pricing, code you own, software built for how your business actually runs.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a project cost for an accounting firm?

Flat pricing from $3,000 to $25,000. A focused client document portal or intake system sits at the lower end; a full practice workflow platform with dashboards and multiple roles runs higher. You get the number before the work starts.

Do I have to change my accounting software?

No. Your app sits alongside QuickBooks, Xero, or whatever tax software your firm runs, and integrates where an API exists. The goal is to fix the operational layer around your accounting stack, not to replace it.

Is client data safe?

Your app runs on your infrastructure and your accounts. Document portals get built with encrypted storage, per-client access controls, and audit logging, and I don’t hold client financial records on my systems.

Can it be ready before tax season?

Most projects deliver in 2–6 weeks, so a document collection portal or intake workflow started in the fall is running well before January. Larger platforms are best scoped outside of busy season.

Will this replace my staff or my role as a CPA?

No. It takes over document chasing, status spreadsheets, and manual report assembly. Advisory work, review, and judgment stay where they belong.
