FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Do tax agents need client portal?
Tax documents should not be sent by email. A client portal gives clients a secure login to share documents, see progress and find what they need without emailing.
Do we need a custom portal?
Often not. Many practice and accounting systems include a client portal, and the website only needs to link to it clearly.
