SmartVault, a leading provider of a cloud-based document management system (DMS) and client portal for accounting professionals, has expanded its ten-year strategic partnership with Intuit by integrating with ProConnect™ Tax, the industry-leading cloud-based tax software. This jointly developed integration enables seamless, high-value document workflows between ProConnect and SmartVault, offering significant efficiency improvements over standard print-to-PDF or mapped drive solutions.  

The integrated experience automatically creates clients in SmartVault and enables printing and auto-routing of tax returns from ProConnect to the correct client folder in SmartVault. These features save time, reduce manual errors, and eliminate inefficiencies caused by document silos and disjointed workflows. By centralizing document management processes, the integration enhances data security and compliance, providing a streamlined and secure solution for tax professionals.

“SmartVault has established itself as the first integrated document management system for Intuit Lacerte, ProSeries, and now ProConnect, which reflects Intuit's confidence in our ability to deliver a high value, integrated DMS and portal platform across Intuit’s ecosystem of tax prep apps,” said Dania Buchanan, President of SmartVault. “Firms today can’t be locked into antiquated all-in-one platforms if they want to improve efficiencies and grow profits. We fully support Intuit’s vision of enabling a best-of-breed app ecosystem and we are thrilled to be the first to offer ProConnect customers a robust, modern online DMS platform to manage their end-to-end document and tax prep workflows securely.”
