How TaxDome Keeps Your Files Safe

Mastering the TaxDome Client Portal

Now that you’re all set up with your TaxDome portal (woohoo!), let’s talk about what happens next.

We’re Hiring: Rockstar Bookkeeper – Client Accounting Services

At Senter CPA, we don’t just keep the books—we keep small businesses moving. We’re a tight-knit team that’s proudly powered by coffee, cloud tech, and a whole lot of care for the clients we serve.

We’ve been supporting entrepreneurs, family-run businesses, and community builders for years. But we don’t live in spreadsheets from 1997. We’re the kind of firm that automates what can be automated, embraces fresh tools, and dares to rethink what accounting support should feel like.

Protect Yourself from Financial Fraud

To safeguard yourself from personal financial fraud, stay vigilant about securing your personal information, regularly monitor your financial accounts, exercise caution during online transactions, and never share sensitive details with unfamiliar sources.

Accountants or Superheroes? You Decide…

Being honest, no one hears accounting and thinks “wow! that’s got to be fun!”. There are no explosions, no villains (except for maybe tax law), and definitely no fights (unless you count audits). But behind every successful business is a calm, calculator-wielding hero crunching numbers and saving the day one set of financials at a time. Yes, we mean that literally.
