Tax workflow automation and tax document collection are different buying decisions.
Some firms want intake, workpaper prep, data extraction, and delivery in one tax workflow. Other firms first need a cleaner way to get the required documents from clients.
-
A full tax workflow platform may be more than a small firm needs for one document packet.
-
Clients still need a simple list of the tax documents, receipts, and notes to upload.
-
Staff need missing-item status before the file is ready for prep.
Where RequestFlow fits before prep.
RequestFlow keeps the tax document request simple: one private checklist link, file uploads by item, receipts, and clear missing status.
-

Create a tax document checklist.
-
2

Soraban vs RequestFlow
- Use Soraban-style tax workflow automation when your firm wants broader intake, prep support, data movement, and delivery workflows.
- Use RequestFlow when the primary job is collecting requested tax documents and tracking missing items.
- RequestFlow does not prepare returns or automate tax data entry. It helps get the document packet ready for your existing process.
