In today’s digital world, technology plays a key role in simplifying the tax preparation process. By using secure tools to share documents and communicate with your accountant, you can help ensure your tax return is prepared accurately, efficiently, and on time.
At Accavallo & Company, we encourage clients to take advantage of our secure Onvio Client Portal, which is designed to make document sharing and access to tax returns easy and safe.
Why Secure Document Sharing Matters
Tax documents contain highly sensitive personal and financial information. Sending these items through regular email or unsecured file-sharing platforms can put your data at risk. Using a secure portal protects your information while also streamlining communication between you and our team.
Secure technology allows us to:
-
Safeguard confidential information
-
Reduce the risk of lost or incomplete documents
-
Minimize back-and-forth emails
-
Speed up the tax preparation and review process
How the Onvio Client Portal Helps
The Onvio Client Portal is a secure, encrypted platform that allows you to work with our team all in one place. Through the portal, you can:
-
Upload tax documents securely (W-2s, 1099s, K-1s, receipts, and more)
-
View and download your completed tax return once it’s ready
-
Exchange messages and documents without relying on email
-
Access your information anytime, from anywhere
Using the portal helps keep everything organized and ensures nothing gets overlooked during tax season.
Providing Secure Access to Financial Accounts
In some cases, providing your accountant with view-only access to certain online accounts—such as bank accounts, payroll platforms, or bookkeeping software—can greatly improve accuracy and efficiency.
Secure access allows our team to:
-
Verify balances and transactions directly from the source
-
Reduce errors caused by missing or outdated information
-
Reconcile accounts more efficiently
-
Minimize follow-up requests and delays
Whenever possible, we recommend granting read-only or accountant-level access rather than sharing passwords. Many banks and financial platforms allow you to add an accountant or trusted advisor with limited permissions, ensuring your information remains protected.
If direct access is not available, credentials should never be sent via email. Our team can guide you on the safest way to share access or documentation through the Onvio Client Portal. Providing timely access to necessary financial information helps us deliver a smoother tax preparation process and more accurate results.
Best Practices for Sharing Your Tax Information
To get the most out of the portal and help us serve you efficiently, we recommend:
-
Uploading documents as soon as they become available
-
Submitting everything you have, even if you’re still waiting on a few items
-
Clearly labeling documents when possible
-
Avoiding sending sensitive documents via email
These steps help us begin your return promptly and reduce delays.
