TaxDome May 2021 update upgrades doc management, e-signatures and more

TaxDome has released updates for its tax automation software. The tech provider has removed document silos within the document management module and made it easier for accountants to close up client files so if a client forgets to submit their information, it doesn’t create a project bottleneck. The e-signature capabilities have also been improved. If a signer has not signed yet, the document clearly shows that signature as “pending.” For details on the updates, click here.
