Company: Maynard CPA
Overview
When Keith Maynard founded Maynard CPA, he set out to build a modern firm that served startups and small businesses with flexibility and speed. But traditional payment systems were slow, manual, and disconnected, forcing his firm to spend more time on administrative tasks than client service.
Maynard turned to 8am™ CPACharge to modernize his firm’s billing. With tools like Quick Bill and scheduled payments, Maynard CPA built a digital-first payment experience that supports the firm’s mission of simplicity, efficiency, and client focus.

Maynard CPA began with a mission to serve clients who had great ideas but little experience running a business.
After years at larger firms, Maynard saw how outdated tools and disconnected systems slowed operations and pulled valuable time away from clients. When he launched Maynard CPA in 2020, he set out to change that—building a practice centered on efficiency, accessibility, and modern technology.
To bring that vision to life, Maynard turned to CPACharge, a payments and billing management solution that helps accounting professionals get paid faster, simplify billing, and elevate the client experience.
When Maynard discovered CPACharge at a CCH Connections User Conference, he immediately saw how it could transform the way his firm managed payments. Its automated billing, scheduled payments, and easy integrations aligned perfectly with his vision for a tech-forward accounting practice built on simplicity and client trust.
As he prepared to launch his firm, Maynard needed to get multiple systems up and running quickly—and CPACharge delivered. Within a day of signing up, he sent his first invoice using Quick Bill, a tool that lets firms send simple, secure payment requests to clients, helping accounting professionals get paid faster.
CPACharge gives Maynard CPA the flexibility to accept payments anytime, anywhere—an essential capability for a modern, tech-driven accounting firm.
“Since Maynard CPA is a younger firm and our staff and clients are younger, it’s expected for us to receive payments via credit card,” says Maynard. “Clients don’t really ask if we accept them—they give a card and expect us to take it.”
That level of convenience has redefined how Maynard CPA operates. With CPACharge, payments are processed quickly and securely, eliminating the delays and manual steps that used to slow things down. The result: faster, more consistent revenue and a smoother experience for clients and staff alike.
With CPACharge, firms like Maynard CPA can simplify billing, accelerate payments, and focus more on clients—not paperwork. Built as part of the 8am professional business platform, CPACharge helps accounting professionals strengthen client relationships, improve cash flow, and free up time for the work that truly matters.
