What is TaxDome?

TaxDome adds AI document sorting on top of its already-broad firm-management surface.

TaxDome is shipping at a brisk pace across the practice-management spectrum — payments, client communication, pipeline tooling, and now AI document handling all moved forward in March. The product is settling into its identity as the all-in-one OS for tax and accounting firms, with each release closing a small daily friction point that competitors like Karbon and Canopy still expose.

What is Zluri?

Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.

Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.

TaxDome adds AI document sorting on top of its already-broad firm-management surface.

◆ Current state

TaxDome is shipping at a brisk pace across the practice-management spectrum — payments, client communication, pipeline tooling, and now AI document handling all moved forward in March. The product is settling into its identity as the all-in-one OS for tax and accounting firms, with each release closing a small daily friction point that competitors like Karbon and Canopy still expose.

◆ Where it's heading

The releases cluster around three threads: monetization controls (technology fees, proposal deposits, firm-initiated payments), client communication automation (scheduled chat messages), and AI-driven workflow automation in document handling. Together they reinforce TaxDome's positioning as the system of record for the firm — not just a portal but the place where staff actually get work done.

◆ Prediction

Expect more AI workflow features next — likely AI-assisted return prep checklist creation and intake form auto-fill from uploaded documents, building on the same document-understanding capability that powers the new auto-matching.

Zluri moves access duration from a request field to a rule the admin controls.

◆ Current state

Zluri continues to build out its identity governance and SaaS management platform, with recent work concentrated on access requests, approvals, and certifications. It has extended approver actions into Slack and email, refreshed the Groups module, and reworked how certifications are created and scoped. The newest release turns access duration itself into policy: an automation rule can now impose a fixed lifetime on every request it governs, overriding whatever the requester asked for.

◆ Where it's heading

The product is maturing its IGA surface incrementally rather than pivoting, but the direction within that is consistent: each release moves a decision from an individual to a rule. Approver notes captured context that used to live in someone's head, user-based reviews let one scope replace app-by-app setup, and admin-enforced duration takes the last free-text field in the request flow and makes it configurable centrally. Existing rules keep following the requester's duration until changed, so adoption is opt-in.

◆ Prediction

Expect the same enforced-versus-requested pattern to reach the other request fields admins currently cannot constrain, and the duration banner and notification labelling to become the template for showing which parts of a request were organization-set.
