Cone

Work reimagined for Accounting & Professional Service Firms

Visit Cone

Cone is a platform for accounting and professional service firms that brings proposals, billing, payments and practice management into one place. It is split into two products: Cone Propose, which covers proposals, quotes, invoicing and payments, and Cone Practice, which adds projects, workflows, client requests, time tracking and document management alongside proposals.

Cone Propose includes a flexible proposal editor, pricing tables and quotes, templates, engagement letters, a sales pipeline, invoicing and payment collection, with integrations for QuickBooks Online, Xero, Zoho, Stripe and GoCardless, plus Zapier and email integrations on higher plans. Cone Practice adds projects, workflows, client requests, time tracking, document management and an integrated email, and can start projects automatically once a proposal is accepted. Payments support cards, ACH and direct debit.

Cone is aimed at accounting and professional services firms, including small teams, startups and freelancers. It is packaged as seat-based Essentials and Growth plans, billed monthly or annually, with a 14-day trial that requires no credit card. Optional add-ons include multiple signers and multiple pricing packages, each priced per user.
