Unified Communication

Keep every client conversation connected to the work.

Secure messages, email, and client history — all in the context of the return, document, or task they're about.

A conversation about a client's missing 1099 shouldn't live in a personal inbox, disconnected from everything else you know about that client. TPP keeps every message tied to the client record — and, where relevant, to the specific document, task, or return it's about.

Hi Sofia, we still need your brokerage statement to finish your return.

How it works

01

Message from anywhere in TPP

Contact a client directly from their profile, a document, a task, or an appointment.

02

Context comes along automatically

A message sent from a document carries that context, so staff always know what a reply refers to.

03

Everything lands in one inbox

The Communications view shows every client conversation, with real unread counts.

04

Clients reply the same way

Clients message your firm from their portal — no separate email thread to lose track of.

Key capabilities

Secure in-portal messaging
Email sent and logged against the client record
SMS where a firm has it configured
Context tags — a message linked to a document, task, or return
Read/unread status
Full communication history per client
Internal staff notes, never visible to the client

A real tax-practice scenario

Imagine a client uploads a document with a question about it.

They send a message directly from that document. Your staff sees the message already tagged "Re: 2025 W-2" in the Communications inbox — no guessing what it's about.

Before TPP

  • Client conversations scattered across personal inboxes
  • No link between a message and the work it's about
  • Unread messages easy to miss
  • No shared record of who said what

After TPP

  • One inbox for every client conversation
  • Messages carry context automatically
  • Real read/unread tracking
  • A complete, shared communication history

How TPP brings it together

Communication+Client Portal+Documents+Tasks+Tax Returns

= One connected tax practice.
