Document filing automation, not practice management

Almarix vs TaxDome

Here's the honest surprise: these are mostly different tools. TaxDome manages your practice. Almarix does your filing. This page shows where they overlap, where they don't, and which your firm actually needs.

The short version: TaxDome is a practice management platform (portal, CRM, workflows, e-signatures, billing), where clients upload documents into TaxDome and your team processes them. Almarix is a filing assistant: clients change nothing, and the work itself (naming to your convention, filing into your own cloud storage, chasing what's missing, posting to QuickBooks Online or Xero) happens automatically. TaxDome organizes the work. Almarix eliminates it. Some firms run both.

	Almarix	TaxDome
Category	Document filing automation	Practice management (CRM, workflows, portal, e-sign, billing)
Built for	Canadian bookkeeping & accounting firms	Tax & accounting firms of all sizes; strong US tax-season focus (IRS integrations)
How documents arrive	However clients already send them: email, photo, scan, upload link or the optional client app. No behaviour change	Primarily through TaxDome's portal and branded app; clients must adopt it
What happens to them	Handled automatically, start to finish: Reads each document: vendor, date, totals and every line item. Names it to your firm's naming convention. Files it in the right client folder in your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive. Chases what's missing against each client's checklist, with automatic reminders and secure upload links. Posts the transaction to QuickBooks Online or Xero. Logs every document in and out in a full audit trail.	Collected and stored inside TaxDome; your team still processes and organizes them
Chases missing documents	Yes, automatic reminders with secure upload links	Organizers and client tasks; reminders exist, but processing stays manual
Pricing	Flat & unmetered: one monthly price for your whole firm, in CAD. Every plan includes every feature; plans differ only by how many active clients you have. No document counting, ever (current plans)	≈US$800–$1,200 per user, per year, billed annually upfront
Setup	Done for you, free	Implementation sold separately (from ≈US$999 to $3,499); reviewers cite a steep learning curve
Where your documents live	Your own Google Drive, Dropbox or OneDrive, you own and keep everything	Inside TaxDome's platform
Language of service	Fully bilingual, product, onboarding & support in English and French	English-first product and support
Data residency	Almarix stores your data in Canada. To read each document, Almarix uses a third-party AI service whose servers may be outside Canada (Privacy Policy)	US-based platform; ask where your firm's data would live
Risk	30-day money-back guarantee · no setup fee	14-day trial; no money-back guarantee; annual prepay
