Services

RelaNet plans come with all the services you need to work remotely and do business online. Simply decide which features you need and then choose a package to match.

Secure Client Portals

Prevent Identity Theft

Millions of Americans are victims of identity theft every year. Help protect clients by using a RelaNet client portal to exchange sensitive information. RelaNet client portals provide you a secure web portal you can use to safely and privately exchange electronic documents with clients.

~~

Private by Design

RelaNet client portals were designed with privacy in mind. You can view all the files you and your clients have uploaded, but clients can only access files that you have shared with them. Best of all, with RelaNet client portals, you’re in control. You decide who sees which files, and who can upload.

Secure Cloud Storage

You can trust that files uploaded to your RelaNet client portal will remain private. Every RelaNet data center has successfully completed an SSAE‑18 SOC 2 audit, all files are protected with strong AES‑256 encryption, and secure connections are enforced to ensure files are encrypted during transfer.

Online Tax Organizers

Online tax organizers allow you to safely collect the information you need to prepare your clients’ tax returns through your website. We’ll convert your tax organizer into an online form for your clients, and their responses as well as any tax forms they upload will be safely stored in your client portal.

Streamline Data Access

You know the drill—a client is applying for a mortgage and needs you to dig up prior year tax returns. RelaNet client portals streamline this process by making it a self-serve operation. Files from prior years stored in a RelaNet client portal can be protected from changes, even though they remain available for clients to download.

Easy to Use

RelaNet secure client portals are easy for both you and your clients to use. Sharing is as easy as sending an email, and clients upload with a simple drag-and-drop. Advanced features like file versioning and file retention policies are available to you, but hidden from clients in order to avoid confusion.

Legally Binding Electronic Signatures

E-Signatures

Get the tools you need to request and manage electronic signatures from clients. Accelerate the signature process, and avoid the need for in-person meetings.

Sign Any PDF

Request signatures on any PDF document. Whether you need a signed engagement letter, or an executed contract, RelaNet’s e-signature tool can handle it.

Legally Binding

RelaNet Sign creates legally binding signatures that comply with the ESIGN Act and the UETA, and automatically fingerprints each signed document so that signatures can be verified.

ii

Ready for Form 8879

RelaNet’s e-signature tools meet the strict requirements the IRS has set for electronically signing e-file authorization forms like forms 8878 and 8879.

Sign From Anywhere

E-signatures free you from having to meet in-person to get the signatures you need. Clients can sign documents at home on their computer, or on the go with their smartphone.

Do Business Faster

Send and sign documents from virtually any device, reduce the need to exchange paper forms, and get the signatures you need in minutes rather than days.

Screen sharing, online meetings, and web conferencing that’s private and easy to use. Meet individually with a client, or hold a group call for your entire team.

Build Relationships

Stay connected with clients and coworkers when it’s inconvenient to meet in person. Work remotely with colleagues in real time using built-in screen sharing.

Attractive and Modern Website Templates

Business Email to Suit Every Need

Email @your-firm.com

In this day and age, using a generic email address simply looks unprofessional. Every RelaNet email address comes branded with your firm’s domain, creating an impression of stability and reliability every time it’s used.

Spam and Virus Protection

Every RelaNet inbox includes our multi-layered spam filter that helps protect you from spam and phishing attacks. Our filters eliminate 98% of spam with nearly zero false positives, resulting in a safer, more manageable inbox.

Use Email Anywhere

Use your RelaNet email account with any email client you like. You can check and respond to email using the email client built into your desktop computer or smartphone, or you can check your email on the web.

Productivity Tools to Organize You and Your Team

Easy Access, Anywhere

RelaNet contacts, calendars, projects, and tasks offer an efficient, modern, and easy to use web interface for individuals and teams. Built-in sync allows you to access contacts and calendars at your desk or on your smartphone.

Contact Management

RelaNet contact management keeps your relationships organized. Go beyond email, address, and phone number to track all your important client information: birthdays, anniversaries, social network accounts, custom notes, and more.

Calendars

Create and share multiple calendars. Schedule meetings and send invitations to attendees. Appointment scheduling lets clients and coworkers book meetings with you during times that you allow, but only if you’re not already busy.

Project Management

RelaNet project management allows you to create any number of private or shared Kanban-style task boards. Drag-and-drop cards and tasks, assign them to team members, and set due dates to keep everyone accountable.

Client Newsletters and Website Content

Save Valuable Time

Marketing is essential to attract new clients and retain existing ones, but researching and writing quality content takes time. Let RelaNet manage your client newsletter and website content so you can focus on running your firm.

Attract New Clients

A steady stream of informative, up-to-date website content is vital for improving your website’s search rank and convincing prospective clients that you are an expert in your field. RelaNet can help by publishing monthly website articles on topics like small business taxation, individual taxation, and changes to the tax code that demonstrate your knowledge and expertise.

Retain Existing Clients

Retaining existing clients is critical to the growth of any business. RelaNet can help by creating a monthly newsletter for your firm using our content, and emailing it to your clients. These monthly newsletters put your name in front of your clients throughout the year and help keep your firm top-of-mind.

Collaboration Tools to Help Your Team Move Faster

Team Chat

Team chat provides immediate access to your team and allows you to provide instant feedback. Chat rooms can be created for individuals or groups, and persist between sessions so that you have a record of conversations.

Create Groups

Create your own custom groups, called “circles”, that can be managed in various ways. Circles can be open or invitation-only; visible to everyone or hidden. Larger circles can have moderators to help manage the group.

Flexible Sharing

Share with circles just as you would another user. Add a circle to a web call or chat room, share files with a circle, or assign the circle a task. Flexible sharing options make it easy to get the right information to the right people.
