Crunchafi acquires BUCS Analytics, adding 150+ integrations and expanded CAS capabilities. The acquisition strengthens Crunchafi's platform for CAS teams, the fastest-growing service area in CPA firms. September 16, 2026 09:00 ET | Source: Crunchafi MILWAUKEE, Sept. 16, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Crunchafi, a leader in SaaS technology for CPA firms and financial professionals, today expanded its platform with more than 150 data integrations, native Model Context Protocol (MCP) access and deeper client advisory services (CAS) capabilities, following its acquisition of BUCS Analytics. Crunchafi provides audit and transaction advisory teams at CPA firms with automation and workflow tools that reduce manual work. The acquisition extends that into CAS. Accessing client information remains the biggest bottleneck in CPA engagements, a pain point Crunchafi already addresses for the most common accounting systems. CAS teams feel it regularly, running month-end close across siloed sources. BUCS Analytics connects and consolidates data across ERPs, payroll, CRMs and other operational applications, standardizing ingestion and reporting. BUCS clients save 10 to 15 hours each month by automating recurring reporting. "Every engagement across the firm starts the same way: waiting on client data," says Mark Weidick, chief executive officer of Crunchafi. "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." CAS is the fastest-growing service area in public accounting, according to the AICPA and CPA.com CAS Benchmark Survey. To efficiently scale CAS practices to meet demand, CPA firms need technology that automates repetitive work and delivers better client service. BUCS Analytics gives firms integration coverage and insight to serve more advisory clients. The acquisition expands Crunchafi's platform in three areas. * 150+ integrations: Crunchafi now connects to more than 150 accounting, ERP, payroll, CRM and operational systems, cloud-based and on-premises. Firms set up a client one time, then pull current data on demand, often in hours. * Native MCP access: Firm data is now available to AI tools through MCP. Staff can put client information to work in the AI applications they already use. * Deeper CAS capabilities: BUCS Analytics extends Crunchafi into CAS with advisory-ready analytics, giving firms a clearer view of client financial health and where to focus, from routine reporting to identifying opportunities and risks across their client base. "BUCS was built to address the complexity of connecting financial and operational data," says Krystal Montague, chief operating officer of BUCS Analytics. "Crunchafi shares our focus on helping firms scale their CAS practices without adding complexity." "BUCS Analytics is an integral partner in UHY's CAS growth. Together we bring integrated financial data and advanced reporting to our clients, supporting timely, better-informed decisions and long-term growth," says Krista Steward, director of CAS CFO advisory at UHY, a top 30 CPA firm in the United States. CPA firms use these capabilities to standardize financial reporting, streamline monthly close and support CAS and CFO advisory services with integrated data. With BUCS Analytics, Crunchafi extends this foundation across more than 150 systems for the more than 750 firms it serves. BUCS Analytics customers will continue to be supported through the transition. To learn more, visit www.crunchafi.com/crunchafi-acquires-bucs-analytics.
