Tax Season Becomes a Follow-Up Nightmare

Every January it starts again. You email clients for W-9s, bank statements, and QuickBooks access. Half respond. The rest need three more follow-ups. Documents end up scattered across email, Drive, and text messages. Deadlines slip.

Can I collect W-9s and tax documents through OnboardMap?

Yes. You can request any document by name — W-9s, bank statements, prior year returns, chart of accounts exports, and more. Clients upload directly to their portal. Files are encrypted in transit and at rest.

Do my bookkeeping clients need to create an account?

No. Clients access their portal via a magic link sent by email. No signup, no password, no app to install. They click the link, see their checklist, and start uploading immediately.

Can I use this for recurring tax season intake?

Absolutely. Create a template once, then duplicate it each season. Your document request list, intake forms, and reminders carry over — just assign it to each client.

How do I collect QuickBooks or bank access credentials?

You can add tasks for credential sharing with instructions. OnboardMap doesn't store passwords directly, but you can request screenshots of access confirmations or link to secure credential-sharing tools.

What counts toward my onboarding limit?

Every onboarding you create counts toward your monthly limit. On the free plan, you get 3 per month. On paid plans, you get higher limits. All limits reset each billing period. There’s no cap on total clients — only onboardings created.

Can I brand the portal with my firm's logo?

Yes. Every plan includes a branded portal link. On Pro and Max plans, you can customize your logo, brand colors, for a fully white-labeled client experience.

Does this replace my practice management software?

No. OnboardMap is the client-facing portal you send to collect documents and information before work begins. It complements tools like Karbon, Canopy, or QuickBooks Practice Manager.

Can clients upload files securely?

Yes. All uploads are encrypted in transit (TLS) and at rest. Files go directly to your portal — not email. You control access, and uploads are tied to specific document requests so nothing gets lost.
