Tax Office CRM for Multi-Preparer Teams
When a tax office grows past one preparer, the problems multiply: clients contact whoever they have a number for, documents get lost between handoffs, and no one has a complete picture of where any client stands. The tool that worked for one person breaks at three.
Conecta is a CRM and client management platform for tax offices — not tax preparation software. It handles client communication (SMS, WhatsApp, email), document collection, automated reminders, e-signatures, appointment booking, and workflow automation. It works alongside whatever filing software you already use.

From the field: how a multi-preparer offices used Conecta
A Houston office with four preparers was running on three separate WhatsApp numbers, a shared email address that two preparers checked, and a spreadsheet that was always out of date. Clients would get inconsistent answers depending on who responded. After implementing Conecta, all client communication routes through one shared inbox — every preparer sees the full history, and clients always get a consistent, informed response.
The 3 problems multi-preparer offices have right now
- No unified view of client status — different preparers have different pieces of the picture
- Client communication scattered across multiple personal phone numbers, WhatsApp accounts, and email inboxes
- Clients fall through the cracks during handoffs between preparers
- No accountability for who owns each client relationship and what step they're on
How Conecta solves each
Shared inbox for the whole team
SMS, WhatsApp, and email from every client routes to one shared inbox. Every preparer sees the full communication history. No client gets a different answer from a different team member.
Client assignment and pipeline ownership
Assign clients to specific preparers. See at a glance which preparer owns which client, what stage that client is in, and what's been communicated. Handoffs happen with full context.
Bulk automation with individual tracking
Send organizers to all 400 clients at once. Track which ones have responded, which haven't, and automatically remind only the ones who are still pending. No preparer has to manage this manually.
How multi-preparer offices actually use Conecta
This is not practice management software for tracking returns. It is a client management platform for tracking clients — from first contact through document collection, reminders, signatures, and reviews. Here is how the workflow runs in a typical multi-preparer offices practice:
- Send the client organizer via SMS or WhatsApp — in English or Spanish. Clients don't need to download an app. The link opens in their phone's browser.
- Client uploads documents through the bilingual portal — everything lands in one place. Document collection for tax clients that actually works.
- Automated reminders go out every 48 hours if documents haven't arrived. No manual tracking. No follow-up calls. Tax office automation handles it.
- After the return is filed, a review request sends automatically — building your reputation while you focus on the next client.

Questions from multi-preparer offices
Is there a per-user cost for adding preparers to Conecta?
No. Conecta has no per-user fees — you can add your entire team for the same flat monthly rate. A 5-preparer office pays the same as a solo preparer at the same tier. This is one of the main reasons multi-preparer offices switch from TaxDome or GoHighLevel, which charge per seat.
How do we handle client communication when multiple preparers might respond?
Conecta's shared inbox shows who sent the last message and when. You can assign conversations to specific preparers or set it up so any team member can respond. Every message is logged in the client's record, so the next person who picks up the thread always knows what's been said.
Can we set different workflows for different client types within the same office?
Yes. You can configure separate pipelines for different service types — personal tax, business tax, bookkeeping — with different automated sequences per pipeline. Each client is assigned to the right pipeline at intake, and automation handles the rest.
