Pros

“During the integration work by Ability Commerce to integrate Ability OMS with TaxCloud, our questions were responded to quickly by knowledgeable staff.”

Mary P.

Sales and Partnership Executive

“Seamless integration between TaxCloud and Ability OMS ensures all transactions are covered.”

Mary P.

Sales and Partnership Executive

“Taxcloud allows our US-based clients to accurately calculate tax on orders taken online via the websites we create for them.”

Gary P.

Managing Director

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

“Drake helps us optimize the time spent on each return because the built in compliance features and warnings gives us confidence that we are thorough with each return. ”

Maribeth J.

Income Tax Return Preparation Coordinator

Cons

“Tax Cloud does not always follow the rules that our state has in place regarding capturing tax on shipping charges, etc. If I need to adjust the order total for some reason - the tax does not recalculate correctly. ”

Julie G.

Manager

“It is hard to navigate and find transactions that have been uploaded.”

Emma H.

School Accounts Manager

“If you discontinue you get notices from random states that your taxes need filed with them or you'll get fined.”

Meta R.

President

Cons

“Year‑over‑year hikes of this size don’t reflect the value delivered, especially when many features remain unchanged.”

Ion T.

CEO
