Workflows and to-do lists

Recurring work is set up as workflows with task lists, and automations can create work and follow up on client tasks on higher plans.

Client portal and requests

Clients get a portal for secure file sharing and task requests; the Scale plan adds a branded portal.

Time tracking and billing

Time tracking feeds invoicing, with project-based billing and retainers, and files can be locked behind an invoice.

Proposals and e-signatures

Proposals, engagement letters and e-signatures are included, and Scale adds proposal packages with optional upsell services.

Integrations

Links to QuickBooks Online on all plans; Scale adds SmartVault, Zapier, OneDrive and Google Drive sync, and tax tools such as Drake and CCH Axcess.

AI features and MCP

The site lists AI features on every plan and a Financial Cents MCP in its product menu.

TaxDome

CRM and messaging

A CRM synced with the firm's email, with contact and account records, notes and one-tap text, call or email from the mobile app.

E-signatures and engagement letters

The listing says e-signatures, contracts and engagement letters are unlimited, so no separate signing service is needed.
