How it works

Running monthly cost allocations for multiple clients means your staff is buried in repetitive journal entry work that should take minutes, not days.

Every client has different allocation rules, payroll processors, and QuickBooks setups — making it nearly impossible to standardize your process.

Multi-Company Support

Manage cost allocations for all your QuickBooks Online clients from a single CostAllocation Pro account. Switch between companies instantly without re-authenticating.

FAQ

Any Questions?

Any Questions?

Can one CAP account manage multiple client QuickBooks companies?

Yes. CostAllocation Pro's multi-company selector lets you manage and switch between all your clients' QuickBooks Online accounts from a single login.

Can we standardize our allocation workflow across clients with different setups?

Yes. Each client has its own saved configuration — GL mappings, allocation rules, cost pools — so your team follows the same process every month regardless of client differences.

Is there volume or per-client pricing for firms?

Our subscription is $50/month per QBO company. If you have more than 5 clients you'd like to get set up, reach out to us for a bulk pricing discount.
