Client portal — coming soon

One place for the paperwork

We are building a secure portal so the closing statement, the depreciation schedule and the finished study live somewhere other than an email thread. Until then, we send a request list and a secure upload link when the engagement starts.

01

Request list

Exactly what we need from you, what has arrived and what is still outstanding. No chasing.

02

Secure exchange

Closing statements and depreciation schedules move over an encrypted channel, not an attachment.

03

Study status

Where the engagement stands, and the finished report when it is delivered.

A preview

Two ways in. An owner watches their own properties. A CPA works across several owners at once and needs different things from the same study.

  • Depreciation scheduleBy life, in the format your software imports.
  • Form 3115 supportSection 481(a) adjustment and the statement, where the study is a look-back.
  • Placed-in-service datesPer component, so short-life property starts when it should.
  • Partial disposition basisWhere a component was retired, the basis to write off.

Sample data. Every property, figure and date on this page is invented for the preview.
