If you’re looking to gain tighter control over emails firm-wide, automate aspects of your team’s support function and get some analytics around customer service in your firm, you’ll need accounting help desk software.
This software was a key component of how I managed my firm’s support function and I would recommend it to any firm out there.
Below, I describe my experiences using this kind of software in my firm as well as discuss benefits, disadvantages, and some apps to look into.

Hey Ryan!
We use KarbonHQ **religiously** how do you see ZenDesk pairing with Karbon?
Thanks,
Alvie
More specifically, I’m thinking we’d end up having fragmented client info ie. Karbon timeline AND Zendesk and unfortunately Zappier can’t push Zendesk tickets as notes to Karbon
Yes, that’s one of the issues with triage. This because your email/support system and I haven’t found another workaround to use Zendesk with it.
