ADVISORY AT SCALE

Turn every return into a planning engagement

Most firms plan for a handful of clients. Instead makes it possible to deliver comprehensive tax plans to every client, because the agent does the analysis in minutes.

HOW IT WORKS

One workflow, any plan you need

Build a 1-year projection or a 20-year roadmap. Choose from over 1,500 built-in strategies, add your own, or create firm-specific strategies unique to your practice. The agent models every scenario against the client's actual income and deductions, so each plan is tailored to what they actually need.

SCENARIO MODELING

Model the impact before you recommend

Every strategy the agent identifies gets modeled against the client's actual data. See the projected savings per strategy, cumulative impact over time, and how strategies interact. Compare scenarios side by side. Current path vs. recommended plan vs. aggressive plan, so the client picks with confidence.
