AI monthly close + tax-prep draft
Deco categorizes the year to GAAP and drafts Form 1120 / 1065 / 941. The CPA reviews the workpaper instead of typing it.
Request early accessFor a solo bookkeeper, a mid-size CPA firm, or a high-volume BPO. The Hub does everything TaxDome does (client portal, e-signature, invoicing, workflows) plus what it doesn't: Deco 1.0 closing the month in seconds, categorizing the bank feed with AI, drafting tax memos, reconciling the bank automatically, and flagging audit risk per client.
Situations nearly every CPA firm lives. If more than two of these remind you of a bad month, the Hub fixes them.
941 on the 7th, estimates on the 15th, 1120-S Mar 15, 1040 Apr 15, 1099 Jan 31. Every client on a different entity type. Reminding at the last minute is a scramble. A penalty becomes a loss.
47 clients, each with its own spreadsheet. Receipts scattered in a Drive folder, manual categorization, workpapers built at the end with errors. 80% of the junior's time goes to typing.
A statement with 3,000 lines, the month's ledger, a manual tie-out. The partner burns a whole Saturday just to close the books.
The monthly retainer gets forgotten. The extra work (an amended return) never got billed. The billing spreadsheet is out of date.
A $4,200 fixed fee looks great. But it takes 60h/mo of senior time. Without a timesheet, the call is a guess. The client who should pay well becomes a headache.
A client's revenue jumped 80% with no structural change. Without an alert, the IRS finds it first, a CP2000 arrives, 30-day window. Scramble.
Same firm, same CPAs, same clients. Just a different tool.
No accounting platform in the US ships all of these today. Each one solves a concrete day-to-day problem.
Deco reads the transactions, categorizes to GAAP, drafts Form 1120 / 1065 / 941, computes tax by entity type (Sole prop / S-corp / C-corp / Partnership). The CPA reviews instead of typing. 60-80% of manual time saved.
Deco reads the bank feed, identifies the vendor / category from the firm's memory + prior coding. Suggests the GAAP entry. Manual entry drops 70%. The CPA reviews only the doubtful.
Client asks 'can I deduct X?', Deco drafts a memo with current guidance (IRC, Treas. Reg., Rev. Rul., IRS Pub) + case law. The CPA reviews and signs. Research grunt work drops.
Hub pulls the bank feed and matches it to the ledger. 98% reconcile on their own. Deco suggests a category for the unmatched. Saturday free, close in 5 min.
Deco analyzes the close + industry + history. Flags risk patterns: atypical revenue, margin off benchmark, S-corp reasonable-comp exposure, 1099-K mismatch. Surfaces it before the notice lands.
Client messages through the portal, Deco classifies it in seconds. An IRS notice with a response window drops to the partner directly. A quick question goes to the responsible CPA. Front desk stays free.
Hub knows every deadline by entity: estimates on the 15th, 1099 Jan 31, 1120-S / 1065 Mar 15, 1040 / 1120 Apr 15, extensions Sep/Oct. Per client. 10/5/1-day cadence. Zero penalties.
Hub connects to the client's bank / card (via Plaid) + a receipt inbox. Pulls transactions + receipts daily. Ends 'send me your statements for the month'. Matches and ties out.
Payroll computed by the Hub, 941 / W-2 / new-hire / 1099-NEC generated, e-filed direct to the IRS + state, Hub pulls the confirmation and flags errors. Payroll scales.
Monthly card / ACH per client, polite follow-up when late. Extra work (amended return, IRS representation, cleanup) auto-bills as an add-on. Revenue never slips.
Retainers + seasonal (extensions Sep/Oct, tax season Jan-Apr). Predictable peaks. Cost per client crosses hours logged × staff cost vs fees. The client in the red is identified.
Consolidated view of ALL clients with the status of every filing. Filter by responsible CPA. The partner sees each health score in 30s. Digs in where it matters.
No migration trauma, no losing a client, no CPA sitting idle for a month learning a new system.
A one-hour call. We configure CPAs / PTINs, teams, fee rules, IRS e-file + bank feed + payroll integrations, and the firm's payment account.
Send us your CSV or Excel. Clients become profiles with entity type, EIN, owners, employees. Ready to run day 1.
Connect the client bank feed, IRS e-file, payroll, Google Calendar, and your card / ACH processor. Train the team in 30 min.
Within 7 days: automatic document intake, the deadline calendar active, the first close drafted by Deco. Decide if month 2 makes sense.

Deco 1.0 is our proprietary AI. It lives inside the Hub and handles the tedious work of a CPA firm: the automatic monthly close, transaction categorization, tax memo drafts, bank reconciliation, audit-risk alerts, client-request triage.
No prompt, no ChatGPT tab, no extra subscription. Built into every plan. AICPA and CCPA compliance handled.
Side-by-side: TaxDome Pro bills $83/user/mo (billed annually) vs Hub Starter ($397), flat per firm no matter how many CPAs you add. Per-seat pricing grows with every hire; a flat plan does not. Past 5 seats the gap only widens. And even on the entry plan, the Hub already ships 10 of the 12 features TaxDomedoesn't have on any tier.
These numbers help us pick the right plan. They don't change the list price.
The 10 without a badge come with Hub Starter ($397). The ones tagged PRO or ELITE require those tiers, but Pro ($697) is still flat, and once your firm passes about 9 seats it undercuts TaxDomePro's per-seat bill too.
Most features are identical across the four plans. The plan you pick is mostly about the size of the operation (CPAs, active clients, integrations). Pro and Elite also get 2 marketing extras on top.
No marketing extras. For SEO + Deco-powered ads, move up to Pro.
