The recognition highlights PracticeERP’s continued momentum in helping CPA firms modernize operations, centralize data, improve visibility, and move beyond disconnected point solutions.
First launched in 2016 and operated by global cloud computing awards body The Cloud Awards, The SaaS Awards’ shortlist panel has completed its first round of assessment of all nominees received. PracticeERP is among the selected organizations representing all corners of the globe progressing to the shortlist stage.
The SaaS Awards is one of the world’s leading platforms for recognizing the latest achievements and innovations in software-as-a-service. The awards celebrate expertise within specific industries and sectors, software that supports critical business processes, and overall technical prowess in areas such as AI, data, and content management.
For PracticeERP, the shortlist recognition reflects the growing demand among CPA firms for a more connected, data-driven operating model. Built on NetSuite, PracticeERP brings together core firm operations including CRM, project management, resource planning, time and billing, reporting, and financial visibility into one integrated platform.
“CPA firms are under increasing pressure to do more with the same resources while improving accuracy, client service, and visibility across the firm,” said Dirk Shimpach of PracticeERP.
“As AI becomes a bigger part of firm strategy, clean data and connected systems are no longer optional — they are the foundation. PracticeERP helps firms replace disconnected point solutions with one unified source of truth, giving leaders the visibility and control they need to operate smarter and prepare for what’s next. Being shortlisted in five SaaS Awards categories is an incredible validation of the work our team is doing and the results our clients are achieving.”
CEO of The Cloud Awards, James Williams, said: “We’re very excited to confirm the shortlist for The 2026 SaaS Awards. As always, we’ve been thoroughly impressed by this year’s nominees, who year-on-year seem to raise the bar in exceptional SaaS products.
“Technology buyers are becoming more discerning as budgets are tightened, and expectations heightened. Being able to blend ingenuity with demonstrable results is a must to stand out in today’s market – and PracticeERP has done just that.
“Landing a shortlist spot is an excellent achievement. We wish them, and their fellow shortlistees, luck as we head into the next round of judging.”
The program will now begin its second round of judging, whittling down the shortlist to a selection of finalists in each category. SaaS Awards finalists will be announced on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, with the final winners revealed in August.
