Our Recommendation

For most accounting firms, we would start with Path A to establish credibility online, then evaluate whether client volume and workflow complexity justify moving to Path B. The trigger is usually when document exchange by email becomes unmanageable, or when the firm wants to offer a branded client experience.

Why This Matters

Own your website and data

Avoid unnecessary platform lock-in

Build around your workflow

Add private infrastructure when needed
