Real reviews from the clients of accounting firms, not accountants

The people everyone says are impossible to onboard. They left five-star reviews.

“We are not computer experts but this app was so easy to use. We were able to send our information to John and he completed our taxes and called us to explain how to sign and submit payments and fees. It was simple.”

“Initially, I thought this would be a huge learning curve, but this app experience was surprisingly easy to use, and communication was fast. Doing taxes has never been easier.”

“I can’t believe how easy and quick it was to provide all the information needed to process my taxes. I’m a very senior citizen and technology-challenged but the app is so simple with guided steps. It was a very positive experience.”

“The platform is SO smooth and I adore using it. It actually makes me love working with taxes and my accountant, which is something I never thought of saying!”

Our client experience speaks for itself

“I love that we can organize a workflow, add tags, and keep up with work. I came from using Keap and Canopy tax, there is nothing like TaxDome. My clients love the portal.”

“TaxDome was like both Karbon and Canopy all in one. The cost is great too.”

“Canopy was more expensive and had fewer features. I gave TaxDome’s trial a try because I wanted an all-in-one solution and I loved it. Just signed up for an annual subscription.”

“TaxDome had better reviews and my peers who had recently started to use the platform had expressed how much they liked it.”

“I chose TaxDome over the other four products because it met every one of my needs and was cost-effective.”

Frequently asked questions

What are the key differences between TaxDome and Canopy?

TaxDome is an all-in-one practice management platform that includes client communication, secure document sharing, workflow automation, billing, a branded client portal, and even a website builder — all under a single subscription.

Canopy offers modular solutions requiring separate purchases for various features, which can lead to higher overall costs.

How does the pricing structure compare between TaxDome and Canopy?

TaxDome offers transparent pricing based on active clients, not seats: $1,500 a year covers 150 active clients, with additional clients starting at $15 each and lower rates as your volume grows. The plan includes 20 seats and all core features, with no hidden costs or required add-ons.

Canopy’s pricing requires firms to purchase separate modules for features included by default in TaxDome. For a firm of five members, this totals approximately $8,520 per year or $1,704 per user, which comes to about $34,080 for 20 seats.

Do TaxDome or Canopy offer tools specific for bookkeepers?

TaxDome provides features tailored for bookkeepers, including a Bookkeeping Hub that integrates directly with clients’ general ledgers at no separate charge.

Canopy, while offering comprehensive practice management tools, does not have features specifically designed for bookkeeping workflows. Its focus is more on tax resolution and general practice management.

Do TaxDome or Canopy offer tools specific for tax preparers?

Both TaxDome and Canopy provide tools beneficial for tax preparers, such as customizable questionnaires and e-signature capabilities.
