Mastering the TaxDome Client Portal

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

Getting Started with TaxDome: Your Senter CPA Client Portal

We recently shared the exciting news that Senter CPA, P.C. is transitioning from Onvio to TaxDome, our new all-in-one client portal. This change is designed to simplify how you work with us—and now it’s time to show you how it all works.

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.

Senter, CPA Moving to TaxDome for a Better Client Experience

At Senter CPA, P.C., we are always seeking new ways to deliver the highest quality service, communication, and security to our clients. As part of that mission, we’re excited to announce an upcoming change to the way we manage our client portal and internal workflows: we are officially transitioning from Thomson Reuters Onvio to TaxDome.
