Client info spreads out
Spreadsheets, personal phones, email, folders, calendars, payment links, portals, and signature tools all hold a piece of the client relationship.

The tax season problem
Still chasing W-2s, signatures, and missed follow-ups every season?
Most tax offices do not start messy. They start simple. Then tax season hits and the office is tracking hundreds of clients, documents, calls, balances, signatures, and follow-ups across too many places — spreadsheets, personal phones, email, folders, and payment links that were never designed to work together.
Small delays turn expensive
Clients forget W-2s, IDs, 1099s, signatures, balances, and appointments. Missing one step can hold up the whole return.
The team loses visibility
Staff do not know who replied, where the latest document is, or whether someone already followed up.
Definition
What is a bilingual CRM for tax preparers?
A bilingual CRM for tax preparers helps tax offices manage clients, communication, documents, appointments, payments, signatures, reminders, and follow-ups in English and Spanish.
It should not replace tax preparation software. It should manage the office around the return: client records, document collection, bilingual communication, appointment reminders, payment status, e-signatures, reviews, referrals, and returning-client follow-up.
Your tax software prepares the return.
Your CRM helps run the business.
A tax office CRM runs the office around the return, so staff can keep clients moving before, during, and after filing work.
Important distinction
Conecta does not replace your tax software
Conecta works alongside Drake, ProSeries, Lacerte, UltraTax, TaxSlayer Pro, CrossLink, OLT Pro, and the systems tax preparers already use to prepare returns.

Texting clients is normal.
The problem is client conversations living on personal phones.
Team visibility
Client texts should not live on personal phones
For many clients, texting is easier than logging into a portal. But when messages live on personal phones, the owner cannot see what was said, other staff cannot help, and the history may leave when an employee leaves.
Conecta keeps client messages connected to the client record, so your office can communicate the way clients prefer without losing control of the conversation.
English and Spanish — not an afterthought
Not translated after the fact. Built bilingual from the start.
Spanish is not a setting you turn on. It is part of the workflow for offices where staff and clients move between English and Spanish all day. Reminders, document requests, appointment instructions, payment messages — all of it should work cleanly in both languages without manual translation or patched-on workarounds.
Bilingual templates
Use English and Spanish messaging for intake, reminders, requests, and follow-up.
Bilingual reminders
Send clear next steps for appointments, balances, documents, and signatures.
Bilingual client communication
Support clients and families who move between English and Spanish in real life.
English and Spanish instructions
Help clients understand exactly what to send, sign, pay, or schedule next.
Staff workflows
Give the team one place to see status and communication without language friction.
Built bilingual from day one
Conecta was designed for offices that live in both languages every day — not retrofitted with a translation layer.
Client behavior
Your clients do not always want another portal login
Some clients will use a portal. Some will forget passwords. Some will still text photos. Some will call and ask what to do next.
Conecta supports secure uploads and client-facing tools while still working around real client behavior with reminders, text messages, mobile-friendly instructions, and simple follow-up.
The goal is not to force one perfect process.
The goal is to help the office stay organized while meeting clients where they are.
The money is in the follow-up
Follow-up is not just customer service. Follow-up is revenue, retention, reviews, and referrals.
Revenue retention
The money is in the follow-up
Tax offices lose money when existing opportunities fall through the cracks.
- Missing W-2s, IDs, and 1099s
- Unsigned forms and e-signature follow-up
- Appointment reminders and balance reminders
- Review requests and referral requests
- Returning-client campaigns

Comparison
Why generic CRMs do not fully fit tax offices
Generic CRMs can help with leads, but tax offices need seasonal workflows, sensitive document collection, client status, signatures, reminders, appointments, bilingual communication, and team visibility after the lead becomes a client.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does Conecta replace my tax software?

Is Conecta only for Spanish-speaking offices?
No. Conecta is for tax offices that work in English, Spanish, or both. The biggest advantage is for bilingual offices that need to serve clients clearly in both languages.
Is Conecta a client portal?
Conecta includes client-facing tools, but it is more than a portal. It also helps with messaging, document collection, appointments, payments, e-signatures, reminders, reviews, referrals, and follow-ups.
Why not just use a generic CRM?
Generic CRMs are not built around tax office workflows. Tax offices need document collection, appointment reminders, seasonal follow-up, sensitive client records, payment tracking, signatures, and bilingual communication. Conecta is built around those needs.
Who is Conecta best for?

What makes Conecta different from normal tax office software?
