Frequently asked questions

What are the key differences between TaxDome and BrightManager?

TaxDome is an all-in-one platform that combines workflow automation, client communication, CRM, e-signatures, billing, a branded client portal, mobile apps, and team collaboration tools in a single subscription.

BrightManager offers automated client onboarding, task management, GDPR-compliant client portals, and workflow tools for compliance-driven tasks. BrightManager requires add-ons for features like white-label portals and SMS.

TaxDome offers transparent per-user pricing starting at £560 annually with all major features such as e-signatures, client portal, automations, and CRM included at no additional cost.

BrightManager provides a Standard plan at £403.20 + VAT per user/year (up to 12 users) and an Enterprise plan for larger practices. Add-ons such as white-label portals or SMS credits are billed separately, meaning total costs may vary depending on usage and configuration.

BrightManager does not include bookkeeping tools.

Which tool offers more comprehensive workflow automation?

TaxDome provides robust workflow automation with conditional logic, task dependencies, automated triggers, and progress tracking across all services — tax, accounts, bookkeeping, payroll, and advisory.

TaxDome is SOC 2 Type II certified, offers firm-wide activity feeds, security audit trails, and enforced 2FA policies, ensuring enterprise-grade compliance.

BrightManager supports GDPR-compliant portals, encrypted file transfer, audit logs of client activity, and risk assessments including AML checks.
