If there's one thing I want you to stop doing as you work on figuring out your backend systems for your business, it's this:

Stop searching for one tool to cover all your client management and collaboration needs.

As a systems expert, I'm here to tell you that "one stop" platforms that claim to do it all are a myth supported by companies' marketing budgets.

The truth is that while there are some great tools out there that will cover a lot of your needs in one platform, finding a tool that completely supports the unique needs of you and your clients is unlikely to happen.

BUT that doesn't mean you should give up on your dream of cohesive backend business systems that make client management and collaboration simple. It means you need to carefully curate your tech stack to create a powerful, effective backend setup.
