The result: polished, fully customisable and visually appealing proposal and engagement letter within seconds. No wonder, it’s the one of the advanced proposal and engagement letter software out there in the market.

GoProposal also follows a comparable workflow for proposal creation. However, it has certain limitations.

First and foremost, the proposal template within GoProposal is not fully customisable and you cannot decide on brand colour, font style and more. In addition to this, it requires users to manually input lots of data which is overwhelming and time consuming.

Now that you know how each of these software handles proposal creation and customisation, let’s take a look at additional supporting features. These will help access suitability of the software for the accounting tech.

Which Tool Handles Engagement Letters More Efficiently?

FigsFlow allows you to choose from a range of regulatory compliant LOE (Letter of Engagement) templates. These templates meet the requirements of UK and global bodies like ACCA, AAT, CIOT, ICAEW, ATT, CIMA and more.

Once you import the template from the library, you can customise wording and clauses in real time preview window and click on “Generate Proposal” to draft multiple engagement letter for several parties involved and single proposal letter.

You can also generate and finalise LOEs only without creating full proposal letter as well by clicking on small checkbox within generate proposal section.

GoProposal also follows the similar workflow. However, without addons, there are several limitations even in higher-tier packages.

For instance, OverSuite, a library of smart engagement letter template starts at additional £40 (excluding VAT) while FigsFlow offers it for free. The same is true for VIP support services, higher compliance standards and auto-updates in the software.

Result, you get to choose between several pricing strategies (cost-plus and value-based pricing) and value your services with ease.

GoProposal also offers similar approach to pricing services, allowing users to manually override auto-calculated rates for the services. However, it has certain limitations.

The pricing calculator is outdated with historic rates and standards. Thus, it requires users to stay aware of market rates, industry trends and every other minor details to value every accounting services. Also, once the service pricing is manually adjusted, there is no real-time preview window and requires user to recalculate the total and wait the processing period every time they make pricing adjustments.
