I tried other proposal software and it was clunky.
Now I deliver proposals that actually impress clients, my conversion rate is up, and Anchor makes sure I get paid on the first of the month.

Reviews from QuickBooks Marketplace

“Proposals in under 60 secs, best support!”

“Once my templates were built out, I can have a proposal out the door in less than 60 seconds. The support and customer service are fantastic, one of the best in the software 'sphere' I work in.”

KariB, United States
Yes, I recommend this product.

"Perfect for any service based business"

Anchor has allowed me to provide clients the ability to choose the package that works for them while automatically collecting payment monthly.  It has removed me for collecting payment which has been a huge time saver as a solo firm runner."

KatieH, United States
 It's incredibly cost effective and easy to use.

"Amazing Proposal and Invoicing Tool"

Anchor has been awesome since we've started using it! I like that you can build out your templates, and send very professional and customizable proposals to clients. I've gotten great feedback from clients overall, and I like the different features Anchor has to offer. It's also very inexpensive and offers tremendous value.

FAQ

How does Anchor's pricing compare to Knuula's?

Anchor charges a flat $5 per successful payment with zero subscription fees, and includes unlimited access to all proposal, engagement, and billing features. Knuula relies on custom enterprise subscription tiers that scale up as your client count grows, without including a native payment engine.

How long does it take to migrate my firm to Anchor?

Anchor is designed to get you up and running in a single afternoon. For larger firms, Anchor provides a dedicated account manager and team to help migrate your existing clients over to the platform before your next billing cycle.

How secure is client payment data on Anchor?

Anchor is highly secure. It uses up to 256-bit TLS encryption for all data transmissions, enforces strict physical access protocols with 24/7 server monitoring, and never stores raw credit card or bank account credentials. Read more on our data privacy and security page.

Do clients need to create an Anchor account or sign into an app?

 No, your clients never have to create an account, remember a password, or download an app. They simply click a secure magic link delivered via email to instantly review the proposal, e-sign, and vault their payment details in one seamless step.

Can Anchor handle engagement letters at scale for enterprise accounting firms?

Yes, Anchor supports scalable smart agreements and white-glove bulk onboarding that easily handle large, complex client rosters. Every signed agreement links directly to an autonomous billing engine, turning high-volume document generation into automated cash collection.

Can Anchor automate hybrid billing models within a single client agreement?

Yes, Anchor automates fixed retainers, hourly caps, and project-based milestones straight from a single live agreement. The billing engine calculates and collects payments automatically, regardless of how your engagement model evolves.

Can Anchor handle scope changes that happen mid-engagement?

Yes, Anchor allows you to adjust scope and pricing directly within a single live agreement, instantly updating your billing engine. No need to manually redraft, re-send, and re-sign a brand-new document for every change; Anchor absorbs the updates seamlessly without breaking your workflow.

Do you operate internationally and support cross-border client payments?

Anchor currently supports firms registered and operating within the United States, and your US-based firm can seamlessly bill and accept cross-border payments from international clients in USD.

Will my firm need a separate payment processor to collect invoices on Anchor?

No, Anchor includes built-in payment processing that secures credit card or ACH details before the work even begins. ACH transfers are completely free, while credit card payments incur a standard 2.9% + $0.30 fee that can be passed on and paid directly by your client.
