Joe K.

Accountant

Pros

“It is a great software to streamline client relationship management, allow safe and secure document sharing, automation of tasks like invoicing, sending engagement letters, etc.”
NW

Natalie W.

President

“We are able to present clients with an invoice at the time they sign their engagement letter and TaxDome will collect a deposit for us prior to releasing the organizer.”
MB

Matt B.

Founder

“It has become the operational hub of my firm and gives me one place to manage clients, documents, communication, organizers, engagement letters, invoices, and workflows.”
RE

Rosi E.

Enrolled Agent

Cons

“It didn't have the capability to communicate tasks or requests (back and forth) to the customer, like a portal could.”
TB

Tatsiana B.

Owner

“The cost is also a bit ridiculous because I only needed one license, but they make you buy two licenses.”
RR

Robert R.

CPA

“They don't provide a user guide that you could use for a quick reference.”
RR

CPA

Cons

“I wanted it to be able to collect payments through CPACharge that I set up with credit cards fees to be paid by clients. When I turn off the integration it still looks like we take payments through portal and clients are annoyed.”
HH

Holly H.

Managing Partner

“The biggest issue that we have had has been getting our data and processes into TaxDome which is an indictment on the inconsistencies WE have had internally, not necessarily on TaxDome.”
BS

Bryan S.

Tax Manager

“My firm used to use Sharefile to transmit documents securely to and from clients, and now TaxDome has pretty much replaced Sharefile for us, however, I wish it had the ability to work in a similar way to Sharefile for non-clients because currently we are still haven't to keep Sharefile for people like financial advisors and others who aren't clients so therefore they don't have a good way to securely send us documents through TaxDome.”
