SoftwareClarity is a free, neutral software catalog built for CPA firms
Free basic listings for every vendor; premium profiles add pricing, firm fit and integrations - so the depth of what you see depends on what a vendor paid.
Boomer Consulting has put up SoftwareClarity at SoftwareClarity.com, a catalog of accounting software built specifically for CPA firms. Accounting Today reports the site is free to use, requires no login, and already lists over 400 products and services organized across 16 categories including practice management, tax prep and compliance, document management and payroll.

The mechanics are straightforward. Per the Accounting Today report, each entry links to a profile that describes the product and points to the vendor's own site. Any vendor can claim a free listing, but those who purchase a premium profile can surface additional detail - firm fit, pricing model, buyer persona, support channel, product launch year, starting price, key integrations, media mentions, client testimonials and FAQ. Users can browse by category or search directly. There is also a chatbot for more specific queries - Accounting Today cites an example prompt along the lines of 'I need practice management software for small firms that specialize in tax.' Chief growth officer Jon Hubbard told Accounting Today the bot has been deliberately trained to return several options rather than a single pick, consistent with Boomer's positioning as a neutral party.
The honest utility question here is profile depth. Because premium detail is optional and vendor-funded, a free listing may amount to little more than a name and a link. Before treating a SoftwareClarity profile as a research shortcut, check whether the categories you care about are populated with premium profiles or bare stubs. The catalog is a reasonable first pass for discovery - finding out what products even exist in a given category - but it carries no independent ratings or verification layer. Firms that already maintain a vendor shortlist will find the chatbot more useful than the browse view; firms starting from scratch will want to cross-reference whatever the catalog surfaces against peer references and actual vendor demos.
