Ignition Alternative · New Zealand

Ignition Alternative for NZ Tax and Accounting Firms

Ignition is built around proposals, engagement letters and billing. Tax Agent Portal covers that same engagement-to-payment path and adds the client-facing workflow most tax firms still run over email — document collection, tax checklists, missing-information chasing, messaging and job tracking.

Why firms choose TaxAgentPortal

Engagement letters built in

Send engagement letters and proposals from templates, and collect typed e-signatures with a full audit trail.

Invoicing and online payments

Client portal included

One firm-branded portal for documents, checklists, messages, appointments and approvals — not a separate subscription.

Stop chasing by email

Missing-information requests track every outstanding item so nothing lives in an inbox thread.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Ignition focuses on proposals, engagement letters and billing automation. Firms that also need client document collection, tax checklists, messaging and job tracking often end up paying for a second tool. Tax Agent Portal covers the engagement and payment side alongside a full client portal.
