Why SmartVault’s Client Portal?

A better way for accounting firms to collaborate, collect documents, and keep clients in the loop.

Save Time

Streamline requests, uploads, and signatures with fewer emails and fewer follow-ups.

Strengthen Trust

Give clients secure, professional access to their documents on any device.

Improve Client Experience

Make it easy for even the least tech-savvy clients to participate in the tax prep process.
What I love about having SmartVault as our single source of truth for clients specifically is that all their source documents are easily accessible. If they need copies of tax returns to buy a home, they can quickly go into SmartVault and find what they need – all without our assistance.

What Happens Without a Secure Client Portal?

What Happens Without a Secure Client Portal?

  • You’re stuck sending file requests through email or unsecure apps
  • Clients forget what’s been sent, where, and when
  • You get bombarded with last-minute uploads, texts, or even paper drop-offs
  • Unresponsive clients delay returns and strain your team
  • Sensitive data gets exposed, increasing compliance risk

SmartVault puts everything in one place so clients know what’s needed, what’s done, and what’s next.
