Practice management software provider Ignition announced Thursday an integration with accounting practice management platform Financial Cents to fully automate the client engagement cycle.
The news comes on the heels of Ignition’s integration with practice intelligence platform Karbon last month, bringing together solutions that help accounting firms streamline how they engage and onboard clients—and get paid.
Ignition also announced an integration with Wolters Kluwer’s CCH Axcess in April.

By combining Ignition’s proposal-to-payment automation with Financial Cents’ workflow management capabilities, accounting firms can create a seamless handoff from signed proposals to project assignment and delivery.
“With our Financial Cents integration, we’re helping accounting firms break free from manual processes that slow them down,” Ignition CEO Greg Strickland said in a statement. “They can onboard clients and get paid faster, allowing them to refocus their energy on scaling the business instead of managing paperwork.”
Available now to customers in the U.S. and Canada, the integration enables firms to:
- Automate proposals, billing, and payments in Ignition to improve efficiency and cash flow.
- Automatically create and assign projects in Financial Cents when a client signs an Ignition proposal to kick off work.
- Keep client information synced across both platforms, reducing duplicate data entry and errors.
“With this integration, firms will be able to streamline their client engagement and onboarding process to drive a better client experience,” Financial Cents CEO Shahram Zarshenas said.
Previously, Ignition customers needed to use Zapier to connect with Financial Cents to automate workflows. Dawn Brolin, CEO of Powerful Accounting Inc. and leader of The Designated Motivator, welcomes the new direct integration as a long-time customer of both platforms.
“Ignition and Financial Cents have completely transformed how I manage my firm,” Brolin said. “Our cash flow has improved, our team is more productive, and clients notice the difference. Now that I can directly connect two of my favorite platforms, we’ll spend even less time on onboarding and setup—focusing on the real work instead.”
More information about the integration can be found here. A webinar on the integration will be held on Aug. 20.
