Terms were not disclosed. The Milwaukee-based company announced the deal on September 16, 2026.
What each side brings: Crunchafi provides audit and transaction advisory teams with automation and workflow tools that cut manual work. BUCS Analytics connects and consolidates data across ERPs, payroll, CRMs, and other operational applications, standardizing ingestion and reporting.
Why now? Accessing client information remains the biggest bottleneck in CPA engagements. CAS teams feel it running month-end close across siloed sources; BUCS clients save 10 to 15 hours each month by automating recurring reporting.

Firms now set up a client once, then pull current data on demand — often in hours — across cloud-based and on-premises systems.
Native MCP access also makes firm data available to AI tools, letting staff put client information to work in applications they already use.
What they're saying: "Every engagement across the firm starts the same way: waiting on client data," said Mark Weidick, chief executive officer of Crunchafi. "BUCS spent years building dependable integrations to the systems firms rarely get clean access to."
Krystal Montague, chief operating officer of BUCS Analytics, said the two companies "share our focus on helping firms scale their CAS practices without adding complexity." BUCS customers will continue to be supported through the transition.
