How Canopy describes itself
Canopy’s public positioning spans firm operations: client management, document collection, communication, billing, and packaged workflows including tax resolution templates and client-facing surveys — one platform for many practice areas.
How Brevitax narrows the job
Brevitax does not aim to be general practice management. It aims to be where resolution methodology lives — parsed IRS reality, financial qualification, governed deliverables, and verification when outcomes or fees are challenged.
- Transcript-first case intelligence — not resolution as a module on a PM spine
- Discovery as a billed advisory product, not only a status field
- Explicit authority tiers — ledger vs 433 vs client story
- Work Verification and retention learning on the same case over time
- Brevitax Pro is $79/mo per seat with unlimited cases, for tax professionals only.
Questions firms ask in evals
Does our resolution standard live in templates and tasks — or in deliverables tied to refreshed IRS evidence? Can a partner review any case without calling the operator? Those questions drive whether a PM module or a delivery record is the right anchor.

Frequently asked questions
Can we use Canopy and Brevitax together?
Some firms keep Canopy for general PM and run resolution delivery on Brevitax for open relief engagements. Integration depth varies; many start with parallel-run on new cases.
Does Brevitax replace Canopy billing and portal?
Brevitax includes client portal, e-sign, and Stripe invoicing on the resolution case. Firms choose whether to consolidate on Brevitax for relief matters or split by practice area.
How to compare tax resolution software fairly
Most comparison pages list features. Resolution firms should compare workflows: how transcript facts become a client-ready Discovery report, how Strategy options are tied to IRS reality, and how the firm proves work when the account changes or a fee is challenged.
- Run the same redacted transcript through each vendor and time the path to a quotable Discovery summary.
- Ask whether balances and enforcement signals are parsed from the account transcript or re-keyed.
- Confirm whether deliverables are versioned on the case or exported as one-off PDFs.
- Check refresh behavior when IRS posting changes the story after you quoted a program.
Where spreadsheets and CRMs break down
Spreadsheets are flexible but they do not enforce authority tiers or preserve decision history. CRMs are strong at pipeline and tasks but weak at transcript semantics, CSED inputs, and governed deliverables. Brevitax is purpose-built for the resolution lifecycle rather than generic practice management.
