Double

Double is month-end close and practice management software for accounting firms and internal finance teams. Its close workflow puts tasks, client and teammate communication, and progress in one view. Listed AI tools include AI Bank Feeds, AI Transactions, Ask Double, and automations for transaction handling and journal entries. Double connects with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage, and NetSuite; two-way sync is described for QuickBooks Online and Xero. Other listed integrations include Ping, Abacor, and Zapier. The Client Portal app for iOS and Android lets clients ask and answer questions, upload receipts, and view financials, while the software is also available on the web. Security resources include SOC 2 Type II reports for 2023, 2024, and 2025, alongside GDPR and CCPA materials. Double says it encrypts data at rest and in transit, supports two-factor authentication, and does not sell user data or client financial information.

Double brings close management, accounting-focused AI tools, and client communication into one service. It starts at $10/mo and offers a free trial, but accounting firm subscriptions require a billed connected client.

It suits accounting firms managing client work and internal finance teams coordinating month-end close. Firms should account for the requirement to connect at least one client, billed monthly.

Double is month-end close and practice management software for accounting firms and internal finance teams. It is best for teams that need to coordinate close work and automate accounting tasks in the same service. Its broad workflow is a poor fit if you need only a lightweight ledger add-on, and a paid subscription requires at least one connected client.

Overview

Double brings close tasks, client and teammate communication, and close progress into one view. That joined-up approach can help teams keep a multi-person close organized; audit trails, task dependencies, approval workflows, recurring templates, and multi-entity close support more structured work. But teams that only need a transaction tool may not benefit from the wider practice-management layer.

Key features

AI and close workflow

AI Bank Feeds, AI Transactions, Ask Double, and AI-powered automations for transaction handling and journal entries address recurring accounting work. The strongest case for Double is having these tools alongside workflow controls, rather than adopting AI automation in isolation. The feature list does not establish how much manual work the automations remove, so buyers should assess fit against their own processes.

Accounting connections and client portal

Double integrates with QuickBooks Online, Xero, Sage, and NetSuite; it describes two-way sync for QuickBooks Online and Xero. Ping, Abacor, and Zapier are also listed. That makes it relevant to firms working across those accounting systems, though the two-way sync claim applies only to the first two. The Client Portal mobile app lets clients ask and answer questions, upload receipts, and view financials, keeping those exchanges connected to the service.

Security

Double says it encrypts data at rest and in transit, supports two-factor authentication, and does not sell user data or client financial information. Its Trust Center includes SOC 2 Type II reports for 2023, 2024, and 2025, plus GDPR and CCPA compliance resources. These controls may matter to firms handling sensitive client records.

Pricing

Double is paid, starts at $10/mo, has no free plan, and offers a free trial of unstated duration. The trial is a way to assess the workflow before committing, but it does not replace a free ongoing tier.

Accounting firms

The accounting-firm plan uses monthly billing per connected client, with custom pricing based on the selected plan. At least one connected client is required for a subscription; users and unconnected clients can be added free of charge. This makes client count, rather than team size, the key stated billing consideration, though firms should account for the minimum paid client.

Internal Finance Teams Annual Plan

This plan has custom pricing and is billed annually at a flat rate. It includes unlimited users, the complete Double platform, dedicated onboarding, data migration, a customer success manager, and priority support. Those services make it the more supported option for internal finance teams, but the annual commitment and undisclosed price make it harder to compare costs upfront.

Platforms

Double is available on Android, iOS, and the web. Its Client Portal app for iOS and Android supports client questions and answers, receipt uploads, and financial viewing.

Who it's for

Double is aimed at accounting firms and internal finance teams that need close coordination, accounting automation, and client communication together. It is less suited to buyers seeking free software, a standalone ledger connection, or a clearly priced subscription before speaking with sales.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Close tasks, communications, and progress share one view, supporting teams coordinating work across people and clients.
• Pro: AI accounting tools sit alongside dependencies, approvals, recurring templates, and multi-entity close, pairing automation with process controls.
• Pro: QuickBooks Online and Xero have stated two-way sync, while the client app handles questions, receipts, and financial viewing.
• Con: There is no free plan, and every subscription needs at least one connected client.
• Con: Plan prices are custom or otherwise not shown, and the free trial has no stated duration, complicating cost and commitment comparisons.

Alternatives

For a broader directory of options, see Financial Close Software and Accounting Automation Software.

Choose Mayday if a freemium web option with a free plan matters more; its Basic tier is £0/mo and includes three same-currency intercompany balances, unlimited users, and live-chat support. Nordavix offers a free beta with unlimited companies, team seats, and modules, making it worth considering if those beta terms suit your needs. novacly also offers a free beta with full platform access and unlimited usage, though its beta duration is unspecified.

OneStream is another paid option with custom pricing; request a demo to discuss its platform. Consider FIS Data Integrity Manager, Eagl, or Stacks Financial Close as other paid alternatives. Taxilla Financial Close Task Management may suit teams comparing task caps and entity limits: its Essentials plan supports up to five entities and 300 close tasks per period, while Growth supports up to 15 entities and 1,500 tasks per period; both have custom pricing.

Verdict

Double is a strong candidate for accounting firms and internal finance teams that want close management, client communication, and accounting-focused AI in one workflow. Its main reason to choose is that combination, backed by broad ledger connections and structured close controls. Look elsewhere if a free plan, upfront pricing, or a standalone accounting add-on matters more than coordinating the full close.
