What it really isCPACharge — payment processing and invoicing platform built exclusively for accounting professionals.
Our takeCPACharge is a niche but well-executed payment solution that gives CPAs and accounting firms a compliant, branded portal for collecting credit, debit, and eCheck payments.
At $10/month flat (no contract, unlimited users) plus transaction fees, it undercuts general-purpose processors on monthly overhead while offering accounting-specific integrations like QuickBooks, Wolters Kluwer, and BQE CORE. A free trial is available, but the product is a paid subscription with per-transaction fees.
Why we rate itRare case of a payment processor built for one vertical and executing it well — compliance baked in, accounting integrations native, and phone support included at the lowest tier.
The catchPer-transaction fees stack quickly for high-volume firms; pass-through card-brand fees ($4.99/mo) add hidden cost not apparent from the headline $10/mo figure.

Best / not good for

Best for
  • CPA and bookkeeping firms wanting a purpose-built billing portal
  • Practices already using QuickBooks, Wolters Kluwer, or BQE CORE
  • Firms that need next-day deposits with eCheck support
Not good for
  • Non-accounting businesses (no general-purpose e-commerce or retail features)
  • High-frequency, low-ticket transaction volume where per-transaction fees add up fast
  • Teams needing broad third-party SaaS integrations beyond the accounting ecosystem
Trade-offs

Friction report

Trade-offs to know before signing up.

  1. Time to value
    Fast: no contract signup, no credit card required for trial, payment portal live within minutes.
  2. Scale breakpoint
    Per-transaction fees (2.99%–3.90%) become significant at high monthly volume; custom pricing negotiation required above enterprise thresholds.
  3. Walled garden
    Moderate: client payment data and reconciliation reports live inside CPACharge; exports available but workflows are platform-centric.
Still a fit?
If none of these block you, try it on the official site.
