Liscio's Smart Tax Automation suite includes Smart Tax Organizers (customizable digital questionnaires), Smart Tax Delivery (automated signature placement and personalized walkthroughs), and Intelligent Follow-Up to eliminate bottlenecks. Clients are guided step-by-step through sending files, signing forms, and completing organizers, reducing the need for manual hand-holding. Additional features include a unified client timeline that surfaces every message, email, file, and signature in one view; electronic signatures; two-way business texting that achieves up to 8x faster client responses; and secure file sharing for files up to 2 GB each. Gmail and Outlook integrations give teams complete email visibility within the platform. Custom branding ensures every client touchpoint reflects the firm's identity.
