Pros

“There is no relationship manager, if you have an issue you have to call, give the info again, wait for a call back etc. While Drake works well generally, I suggest ensuring you ask a lot of questions before listening to sales to proceed. ”

Marie P.

Tax Preparer

“The ability for the software to update clients from prior years is a particularly useful feature and saves us a lot of time.”

Bernie C.

CEO

“Over the years Drake has been a great company until 2025, when they were purchased by another company.”
