I am a victim of Tax calc, it's a great product when you only have a handful of clients, where you could remember their deadlines on your figure tips and also you are on a fixed fee. Tax calc's practice management module is not good enough or us. Tax Calc does not offer Time&Fee module to raise fee notes.
therefore, for practice management and for time&Fee we use Digita practice management.
its nightmare to maintained two databases.
Again, Tax calc is a great product if you plan to have the only handful of clients, but if plans are to grow then I would not recommend at all.
IRIS/SAGE/ CCH / DIGITAL are the only products out there who provide complete integration but none of them is fully online, only their databases but works well therefore perhaps stick with IRIS!
I have been using tax calc for 4/5 years, tax and accounts productions modules are just amazing, however, practice management modules are waste of money so I don’t use any of there ‘add ons’.
Sadly with the growth, I start missing out on client deadlines, so now I am thinking to move away from Tax calc, not to mention they have been promising Time& Fee module to me for past 4 years!
Recently, I had a demo for Tax filer, I find it slick but same issues, PM is less than impressive and Time&Fee module is not in sight.
In my humble opinion, if you have a handful of clients, and can manage deadlines on your fingertips, look no further, and go for Tax Calc, however, if the plan is to grow and staff etc then like me one day you will also regret choosing Tax Calc.
I am looking to find an alternative, for around 300 clients, any suggestions would be welcome.
I am at odds with Tax calc, great tax module, but company practice management module is incomplete, to say the least. I am trying to find an alternative to Tax Calc, as a small practice (around 250 off clients) we need decent practice management and Time&Fee module.
Rather trying to create efficiencies for practices Tax Calc have started sneaking in useless add-ons to make you part with your cash. They have been promising Time&Fee module since 2015, but to this date nothing on the horizon, Frustrating.
I was planning to switch to KeyTime, but after reading your comments I will stay away from them!
Ideally, I am looking for a cloud-based product, I have taken a demo from Capium, in my humble opinion it seems it’s an unfinished product, and a long way to go before you can run a decent size practice.
Tax filer (although part of IRIS) appears to be a good candidate but missing practice management and Time&Fee modules.
Not sure if anyone uses Gbooks and let us know how it is in action?
How do you keep a tap on deadlines? what about time and Fee?
I am also a victim of Tax Calc, their Accounting and Tax modules are just amazing, hence decided to stay on for many years, but now start missing deadlines etc, so time to move on!
Hi Paul,
I am in similar situation, my current continuity partner is retiring, but I am looking for Audit practice, for you as non-Audit should be much easier!!
Anyhow, call me and I will be happy to consider, my number is 02034411205.
Many thanks for taking time to respond, I am in a similar situation, the property is on the main street, and based in a residential area!
So at the end what happened, did you changed to A2?
Over the phone council also told me B1 is ok, but when I asked them to send me in writing they said, apply the change of use.

Very good point, Bernard. I started from home and moved to B1 office!
