TPS Software is a Canadian-founded firm that has specialized in accounting practice management software since 1999, making it a longstanding and trusted name in the field. Its flagship solution, TPS Cloud Axis, is a cloud-based platform designed to automate workflows, streamline billing, and power client communications for accounting firms of all sizes. The company distinguishes itself from “flashy Silicon Valley startups” by focusing solely on delivering practical tools backed by deep industry expertise.
TPS Software was started in 1999 with a mission to help accountants manage time, billing, and practice workflows more efficiently—decades before cloud and AI became mainstream in accounting tech. Over 25 years, TPS has grown its platform from desktop solutions to a robust SaaS model, serving more than 3,000 firms across Canada, the United States, and internationally. Cloud Axis now supports over 15,000 users and processes millions of invoices, payments, and workflow events annually.
TPS Cloud Axis is the central product, providing:
Practice management (time tracking, billing, workflow automation, task/calendar management)
CRM and client portal, enabling mass communications, document sharing, and secure digital payments
Real-time dashboards (Power BI integration), bi-directional accounting/email sync (QuickBooks Online, Outlook), customizable reporting, invoicing, and branded business processes
