Built for accounting firms
Soraban is built for accounting firms, not adapted from consumer software. It serves firms handling 500+ returns each year that need to grow capacity without adding more administrative work.
If your team spends hours chasing missing documents, sorting files, and following up across email and text, Collect takes that off your plate. Firms use it to manage intake for individual returns, business filings, bookkeeping engagements, payroll, and tax planning.
The system supports the way your firm already works, so you don't have to force your process into a generic organizer.
Key features
Electronic forms and dynamic questionnaires
Electronic forms and questionnaires adapt automatically to each client's situation using prior-year return data. Business owners see different questions than individual filers, and clients with rental properties receive property-specific prompts. Known information from prior-year returns is pre-populated, while irrelevant questions are removed.
Soraban adapts forms and questionnaires based on:
- Entity type (individual, S-corp, partnership, trust)
- Income sources (W-2, 1099, K-1, rental, business)
- Prior-year deductions and credits
- Filing history and major life changes
Clients receive exactly the forms and questions your firm needs, improving completion rates and reducing follow-up for your team.
Secure file upload
Clients access Soraban Collect through a branded, link and can upload multiple documents from any device. Files are automatically recognized, categorized, and secured without manual intervention.
To protect sensitive client data, Soraban includes enterprise-grade security features, including:
- SOC 2 Type II compliance
- Encrypted transmission and storage
- Multi-factor authentication
- Full audit trails
- Trusted cloud infrastructure
Soraban's mobile-first design ensures clients can upload documents wherever they receive them — no downloads, apps, or passwords required.

How Soraban works
Your firm sends clients a personalized link via email or SMS, giving them access to a branded portal with a customized checklist. From any device, clients can review their checklist and upload documents, while Soraban's AI automatically processes, classifies, and organizes everything. Your admin team monitors progress in real time and handles only exceptions, and once submissions are processed, data flows directly into your tax software, ready for review.
Implementation typically takes about 2-4 weeks with personalized onboarding, which includes admin training, importing data from existing systems, client setup, and workflow alignment. A one-time setup fee of $1,000 to $4,500 covers the full process. After that, return-based pricing scales with your volume — one credit per return, with packages starting at 250 returns.

I’m not a fan of my current tax organizer, but clients still ask for it, so I send it out even though many clients don’t bother filling it out.
I don't want people to feel like they're having to do their own return.
