TaxDome is a tax practice management suite, featuring a range of features, including an internal communication platform, a secure portal to share client documents as well as a CRM and project management feature to help users and their teams to hit deadlines.
CaseWare Cloud has made it much easier to manage our practice. We use CaseWare Working Papers and the SmartSync Server for all our GIFI and Compilation engagements, and it has provided many efficiencies when working on these engagements. It has also proved to be very useful when tracking time and billing our personal tax clients. We are able to keep relevant info for all our clients under the entities section, which has allowed us to maintain a high level of client service. I would recommend CaseWare Cloud and Time to anyone looking for tools to help manage their practice.
This is a great resource for tax firms with hundreds of clients.
Money wise however, this probably is not economically feasible for firms with only 1-2 tax preparers. It requires a lot of time and energy to build to really be fully operational.
Distinguish between accounts and mere contacts (for us, this is crucial in discriminating between retained clients and prospects who haven't onboarded with us).
Provides an editable PDF function
Offers buildable organizers and templates
Highly customizable pipelines that automate processes
Under the list of entities, it is not possible to show or search phone numbers. In order to do this, we had to manually move all of our client phone numbers from each entity to their corresponding contact. It would be much more convenient if there was a way to export phone numbers from entities to contacts, or if you could simply search phone numbers from the entities screen.
Very easy to use and generally pretty customizable to suit our company's unique needs. We haven't gotten to the stage yet where we're able to test it out on our clients, but the expectation is that the interface should be user-friendly and actually better than what we were using before (SmartVault).
We researched similar products from Wolters Kluwer before making our purchase. We felt the features in CaseWare Cloud were better suited to our needs. Our previous experience with CaseWare and our desire to continue using CaseWare Working Papers is the main reason we made the decision to choose CaseWare Cloud.
Compared to Insightly in particular, TaxDome far exceeds the capability of Insightly for two main reasons: 1) Insightly is a CRM only and does not offer the multitude of other capacities such as a client portal and forms. 2) TaxDome is specifically built for tax firms and has many customized options that are extremely well suited for our particular needs, as well as tax form templates for us to use.
Saves money and time. The pipelines help automate many of our processes that we had to do manually.
Offers all-in-one (almost) hub. This also saves major time caused by jumping from app to app.
Again with time-saving and efficiency... Allows us to have both a client-facing portal and an internal portal so we don't have to switch back and forth between systems.
