Best Firm Fit:

If you are using either the ATX or TaxWise tax and/or accounting software applications, then the Document Manager is a natural choice simply because of the direct integration with those applications.

Strengths:

  • Integrated suite of small firm tax & accounting applications
  • Integrated file archiving feature
  • Companion Scan&Fill application for automating the 1040 scanning process

Potential Limitations:

  • Only available as an “on-premise” solution with no hosting option available
  • No direct integration with MS Office, other than Outlook for e-mail

At a price of $490, the return on investment comes pretty quickly.
