Head-to-head

How we actually compare.

No vague feature grids. Real capabilities, real limitations.

vs. TaxDome · Practice Management

Pipeline, workflows, client portal, and client communications

The category TaxDome has owned for years. We match the practice-management depth and fold in the tools you buy alongside it — e-signatures, research, comp studies, video, certified mail, team chat — on one plan, at less per seat than the TaxDome tier that actually compares.

Where TaxDome still leads:

10+ years of feature accumulation and a battle-tested automation engine refined by tens of thousands of firms. Their library of community-shared workflow templates is something we'll build over time.

Where we beat them:

one plan that already contains the e-signature tool, the research subscription, the document archive, the review and binder tools, the comp-study tool, the video seat and the mail house you are currently buying alongside it — plus team chat, internal notes on the client, and documents that name themselves.

The math, plainly

The cost of staying.

Next February, again:

—$2,500–$5,000 a head, every year, for tools that do not talk to each other
—Three weeks in March teaching a seasonal hire 10 different systems, one of which is always down
—Evenings spent on work that is not accounting and never was
—A widening gap between you and the firm down the road that switched
—The same 10 renewals landing again, and again the year after
