Frequently asked questions

What are the key differences between TaxDome and Practice CS?

TaxDome is an all-in-one, cloud-based practice management platform designed for modern accounting firms, offering integrated features like a client portal, secure messaging, workflow automation, and e-signatures. 

In contrast, Practice CS is a legacy system that relies heavily on on-premise infrastructure and lacks many modern features such as a client mobile app, real-time collaboration tools, and comprehensive client communication capabilities.

How do TaxDome and Practice CS compare in terms of security and compliance?

TaxDome provides robust security measures, including SOC 2 Type II compliance, firm-wide activity tracking, and secure client portals with two-factor authentication (2FA). 

Practice CS lacks many of these advanced security features and relies on traditional server-based setups, which may not meet current compliance standards.

Which platform offers more comprehensive workflow automation?

TaxDome excels in workflow automation with features like customizable pipelines, automated task assignments, and integrated time tracking. 

Practice CS offers basic project management capabilities but lacks the depth and flexibility of automation tools found in TaxDome, making it less efficient for firms seeking to streamline their operations.

How does the pricing structure compare, and what’s included?

TaxDome offers transparent pricing starting at $700 per user annually, encompassing all features without hidden costs. 

Thomson Reuters Practice CS doesn’t display its pricing publicly, but according to available information and client reviews, pricing starts at around $1,000 per user annually.

Do TaxDome or Practice CS offer tools specific for bookkeepers?

TaxDome provides a Bookkeeping Hub with direct general ledger integration, automating tasks without per-client fees. 

Practice CS focuses on time and billing functionalities and lacks dedicated bookkeeping tools, often requiring integration with other Thomson Reuters products.

Do TaxDome or Practice CS offer tools specific for tax preparers?

TaxDome offers an end-to-end tax workflow, including client intake, document requests, e-signatures with KBA compliance, and secure delivery of completed returns. 

Practice CS provides time and billing features but lacks specialized tax preparation tools, which are available in other Thomson Reuters products like UltraTax CS.

What unique features does TaxDome offer that Practice CS doesn’t?

TaxDome includes a suite of modern features such as mobile apps for iOS and Android, integrated e-signatures with KBA compliance, real-time client communication tools (including chat and SMS), and a website builder for firm branding. 

Practice CS lacks these capabilities, offering a more limited set of tools that may not meet the needs of contemporary accounting practices.
