Experience unmatched clarity with a single platform that combines unique data, AI, and human expertise.
BUCS Analytics connects and consolidates data from enterprise resource planning, payroll, customer relationship management and other operational systems, standardising data ingestion and reporting.
Meanwhile, Crunchafi, which serves more than 750 companies, provides workflow and automation tools to audit and transaction advisory teams.
The acquisition expands the platform to support client advisory services (CAS) teams, which the company described as the “fastest-growing service area” in CPA practices.
In a statement, Crunchafi said the deal adds more than 150 data integrations, along with native model context protocol (MCP) access and enhanced CAS capabilities.
Crunchafi CEO Mark Weidick said: “Every engagement across the firm starts the same way: waiting on client data.
“BUCS spent years building dependable integrations to the systems firms rarely get clean access to.
“Our aim is to connect to a client once and put that information to work across the firm, cutting manual preparation and supporting reporting and advisory work from a unified foundation.”
The combined platform will make client data available through native MCP access. This will allow staff to use client information within the AI tools they already rely on.
Crunchafi further added that BUCS brings “advisory-ready” analytics intended to help CAS teams assess client financial health and identify risks and opportunities accordingly.
BUCS Analytics chief operating officer Krystal Montague said: “BUCS was built to address the complexity of connecting financial and operational data.
“Crunchafi shares our focus on helping firms scale their CAS practices without adding complexity.”
BUCS Analytics customers will continue to receive support during the transition, Crunchafi added.
