What accounting firms should know about ScopeLynx
Straight answers about what ScopeLynx does, how pricing works, and what happens after an engagement begins.
Is ScopeLynx a practice-management system?
No. ScopeLynx is deliberately focused on engagement assessment, pricing and profitability. It is not intended to replace the software you use for projects, tasks, workflow or client work delivery.
How is this different from a pricing calculator?
A calculator typically ends when the price is produced. ScopeLynx preserves the assumptions behind the approved fee, then compares them with actual workload and profitability after the engagement begins.
Do we have to replace our existing accounting or workflow software?
No. ScopeLynx is designed to sit alongside the systems your firm already uses and focus specifically on pricing and engagement profitability.
Can we use our own branding?
Yes. Firms can configure their logo and brand colors for client-facing parts of the experience.
Does ScopeLynx automatically decide what we should charge?
ScopeLynx produces an explainable recommendation from the available scope, workload and firm economics. Your firm remains responsible for reviewing and approving the final pricing decision.
What costs does ScopeLynx consider?
Your firm can configure internal hourly cost by work type, monthly overhead, productive client-work hours, profit targets, minimum fees and other pricing rules used by the pricing model.
Is AI making the pricing decision?
No. AI can assist with interpreting information and documents. The pricing model itself is designed to be explainable, and the firm reviews the recommendation before approving a fee.
What does ScopeLynx cost?
Plans start at $59 per month for Solo, $129 per month for Firm, and $229 per month for Growth. The core Assess → Price → Validate → Protect platform is included across the plans, with limits based primarily on firm capacity.
Is there a free trial?
Yes. ScopeLynx offers a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
What happens after the quote is accepted?
The accepted engagement creates a frozen baseline containing the pricing and workload assumptions. That baseline becomes the benchmark for later 90-day, six-month and annual reviews.
Can ScopeLynx identify scope creep?
ScopeLynx can compare engagement volume and workload information over time and surface material changes that deserve a pricing or scope review.
Why is there a 90-day review?
The 90-day validation gives the firm an early opportunity to compare the assumptions used to price the engagement with the work the team is actually performing.
What happens at six months and annually?
Recurring reviews help the firm reassess workload, scope, cost and margin so pricing decisions are based on how the engagement has actually evolved.
