What is TaxDome?
TaxDome's fall releases give firm owners a view of every job, and proposals a deadline.
TaxDome's October releases are about firm-wide visibility and tidier records. Owners can group jobs across pipelines, Work Forecaster flags overdue and at-risk jobs, proposals can expire after 1 to 90 days, and email threads can be linked to jobs for every firm. Cleanup banners ask firms to close finished jobs after tax season.
What is Zoho Billing?
Zoho Billing is bending item-based subscriptions to fit how services firms bill
Zoho Billing's recent entries extend item-based subscriptions and services billing. On-demand subscriptions let a business raise invoices manually per cycle, hosted payment pages now sell item-based subscriptions, and progress invoices can track service items by amount. Timesheets accept time against a customer and service without a project, and TDS can be applied at recording, payment or both. Earlier in September came omnichannel subscriptions synced from the App Store and Google Play, in early access.

TaxDome
5.0FINANCE
TaxDome's fall releases give firm owners a view of every job, and proposals a deadline.
◆ Current state
TaxDome's October releases are about firm-wide visibility and tidier records. Owners can group jobs across pipelines, Work Forecaster flags overdue and at-risk jobs, proposals can expire after 1 to 90 days, and email threads can be linked to jobs for every firm. Cleanup banners ask firms to close finished jobs after tax season.
◆ Where it's heading
After the March AI document matching, the product has turned to the managing partner's view: how much work is in flight, what is late, and where client emails and proposals sit. The work is incremental and aimed at firms running many pipelines. A November 4 webinar on AI for the 2027 tax season hints at the next AI release.
◆ Prediction
Expect an AI announcement at or after the November 4 webinar, which TaxDome itself teased. The entries do not say what it covers.

Timesheets accept time against a customer and service without a project, and TDS can be applied at recording, payment or both. Earlier in September came omnichannel subscriptions synced from the App Store and Google Play, in early access.
◆ Where it's heading
The product is moving beyond plan-based SaaS subscriptions toward businesses that bill services, mixed items and app-store purchases. Many of these features ship as early access first.
◆ Prediction
Several of these early-access features, on-demand subscriptions and amount-based progress invoices among them, are likely to reach general availability next.
