What the install fee actually covers
The install fee is not a license fee. It pays for the managed installation: the platform is deployed into a dedicated environment, branded to your firm, and configured around how your returns actually move. Managed installation targets 30 days. The 30-day clock starts when the firm has provided required access, content, approvals, and phone registration inputs, and payment has cleared. Every install includes 14 days of post-launch support after go-live. Ongoing support after that is part of the monthly plan. The process is laid out in how the managed launch works.
What changes between the monthly tiers
Tax Season Ready provides the core automation install: a client portal with secure document upload, automated document collection and checklists, missed call text back, appointment confirmation and reminders, and pipeline setup.
Practice OS adds an AI voice agent, document OCR and auto-classification, engagement letter automation with e-signature, a morning partner brief, tax software auto-fill integration, and priority support.
