How the practice tools work
The following walkthroughs explain the eleven cards on the Founding Offer page. Rolling bonus tools release after beta clearance; these are intended workflows, not a claim that every tool is already operational.
1. POA auto-fill
- Capture client identifying information, relevant tax matters and periods, and representative details once.
- Map that record to supported federal, state, local and motor-carrier forms.
- Review every draft and route it to signing or the authority’s accepted submission channel.
2. Client collaboration
- Attach a document request, question or intake step to the client record.
- Select one or more transactions that need clarification and send the selected rows to the client with a linked question. The client can explain the business purpose, identify personal items or transfers, and attach supporting documents; replies stay linked to the selected transactions.
- Notify the client and let them respond through the Standard client portal; professional branding follows White Label enrollment.
- Track pending, in-progress and completed actions. eSignature follows the rolling SignSimba release.
3. Reminder / Client Chaser System
- Set a reminder schedule, template and stop condition for an outstanding request.
- Send scheduled email or SMS reminders when the service is available.
- Stop when the condition is met or the professional cancels. Extra communication charges apply as published.
4. Win and retain business clients
- Create a public pricing widget or a private proposal for a selected prospect.
- Move acceptance into an engagement agreement and eSignature.
- Follow with onboarding, invoices and billing as the rolling bonus tools clear beta.
5. Optional AI / BYOK
- Choose whether to use AI. Manual and pre-built-library categorization remain available.
- If using BYOK, enter the supported provider key and request categorization suggestions for review.
- The AI provider bills its usage under your own account; separately published CatSimba platform or optional-service charges may apply.
6. Quarterly estimates - Coming Soon
- Use reviewed year-to-date income and expense data as an input to an estimated-tax workflow.
- Have the professional calculate, review and adjust estimates before client notification.
- Track amount, deadline and payment status. Tax payments use the relevant authority’s accepted payment channel. Release follows beta clearance.
7. Bank Connectivity
- Enable the optional per-client connection when available. Upload-only work remains possible.
- Connect supported accounts through a secure provider flow: $5.77/client/month includes up to four feeds, plus $1.77 for each additional feed.
- Import transactions into categorization and review. Coverage and sync behavior depend on the supported provider and institution.
8. White Label
- Enroll annually, including with zero active Standard clients.
- Choose a CatSimba-hosted branded subdomain or your own custom domain.
- Automatically cover all active Standard clients. Essentials clients do not count or gain Standard features through enrollment.
9. W9 - 1099 Chaser / Vendor Compliance
- A vendor opens the registration option on the business client’s website.
- Collect business details, W-9 information and checklist documents for professional review.
- Use approved records in 1099 preparation. Eligible migrating clients receive up to five federal filings in their first CatSimba filing season under the migration rules.
10. Payment orchestration
- Choose an enabled gateway and compatible vault from the supported orchestration setup.
- Use the provider’s secure payment-entry flow and retain a token/reference for permitted future use.
- The gateway processes and settles funds to the merchant account; CatSimba orchestrates the workflow.
11. Client onboarding and checklists
- Choose or build a checklist suited to the client.
- Guide questionnaires, documents and engagement steps in order.
- Track completion and reuse approved intake data across workpapers, POAs and vendor workflows as each tool becomes available.
