Why switch from Thomson Reuters Practice CS to Qount?

Thomson Reuters Practice CS offers familiarity—but increasingly, that's all it offers. The world is marching toward AI and cloud-first infrastructure. Firms stuck on Practice CS find themselves increasingly walled in.

Here are 3 reasons Qount is the clear alternative. 👇

1. Built for the AI Future

Qount offers the most advanced practice management AI on the market.
Practice CS does not offer AI.

Here's a partial list of what Qount AI (affectionately QAI, or "Kai") can do for your firm:

• Match incoming work to the right staff based on workload capacity and skill.
• Identify time logged in "scope creep" so you can plug revenue leakage.
• Spot miscategorized transactions in your client's QBO or Xero data.
• Flag drops in client sentiment before they escalate into broken relationships.
• Generate client briefs with recent interactions and open items, so you’re always prepared for upcoming meetings.
• Notify staff when their work is missing a time entry.
• And more!
  
  

2. Steady Feature Rollouts Based on Customer Feedback

Practice CS is built on decades-old architecture, which makes it increasingly difficult to keep up with modern feature demands. In a word, Practice CS is outdated.
At Qount, our roadmap is aggressive—and with backing from Savant Growth, we are hiring more back-end developers to deliver even faster. Best of all: Our Qustomers guide our roadmap. We listen to your needs and set our priorities accordingly.
Gina Johnson, Chief of Staff at Robert Morris, highlights this difference between Qount and Thomson Reuters in our case study:

"Their team is very good at adapting the program to what we need it to be," she says. "It's good that it's not just, 'Here it is. This is what it can do and this is all it can do,' which is what Onvio was like. That's what we had prior to Qount, through Thomson Reuters. It was kind of like a 'You get what you get' type of deal. Whereas Qount has been very, very good at working with us on making the program fit our needs."

3. Unified Software Architecture

One of Qount's defining advantages is that it offers a unified platform. CRM, time tracking, project management, billing, proposals, document management, e-signatures, and more are all part of the same ecosystem. One database. One user experience.

Practice CS requires external add-ons or separate applications from the CS Professional Suite to accomplish the same tasks. Document management relies on FileCabinet CS. The client portal lives in NetClient CS. Tax integrations require UltraTax CS. Billing is robust but divorced from CRM, and there is no native workflow engine. The result is a fragmented architecture that often leads to redundant data entry and synchronization issues. Qount’s single-system approach removes these hurdles.
