Hello,

In an effort to continually improve your experience in working with us, we’re excited to let you know that we’re rolling out our new client portal, TaxDome! This will be replacing the Sharefile portal system that you previously used to send documents to me and store your tax files. All clients need to set up a new account in the new portal as soon as possible.

Over the next few days, you’ll receive a welcome email from TaxDome prompting you to set up your login. Once you’re logged in, the portal will be your one place to interact with our office (secure document upload/download, pay invoices, sign documents, texting, etc.).

We’re really excited about this upgrade and believe it will make working with us simpler, faster, and more convenient.

If you have any questions while setting things up, please don’t hesitate to reach out — we’re happy to help. Please reach out to our receptionists and they will be able to assist.

Thanks!
