As part of our commitment to improving your experience with The Accounting Hub, we’re excited to introduce Karbon, our new practice management platform. This shift will bring clearer communication, easier document sharing, and a more streamlined way to work with us.

Why the change?

You’ve probably noticed the world is moving away from long email threads and cluttered inboxes. We’re moving with it – embracing smart collaboration tools to improve efficiency and deliver an even better client experience. Karbon gives us the visibility and structure to manage your accounting and tax work more effectively.

What’s in it for you?

Here’s how Karbon will benefit you as a client:

A secure client portal

Karbon includes a secure client portal where you can receive and upload documents – no more hunting through emails for that one missing attachment. Everything is in one place, easy to access and encrypted for your security.

“Client Requests” instead of emails

We’ll sometimes send you what are called Client Requests. These are checklists that come straight from our workflow – with clear instructions on what we need, and the ability to upload documents or reply directly in the portal.

Transparent timelines

You’ll be able to see what’s been requested, what’s been completed, and where things are at. No more guesswork.

Less email, more clarity

Client Requests reduce back-and-forth emails. If we need something from you, it’ll be clearly listed. And once it’s done – it’s done.

What you can expect

We’ll continue to communicate by email when it makes sense – but for secure document sharing and task tracking, we’ll encourage you to use the Karbon portal. Think of it as your personal dashboard for working with us.

We started as a cloud-first accounting practice, with a focus on using smart tools to reduce admin overhead and make compliance easier. Karbon continues that approach – giving you a clearer, more secure and more streamlined way to work with us.
