One business. Six corporations. No tax system.

TaxDesk gives the group one.

One shared tax record

The company owns the tax workspace.

TaxDesk keeps each entity, its tax programs, filing and payment obligations, documents, ownership, and tax history connected. Your accountant still prepares and files the returns; your company keeps the tax information.

Why the tax work gets harder

Different businesses. The same tax problem.

Every new location, property, clinic, or acquisition adds another legal entity, another filing calendar, and another history to preserve. TaxDesk gives the whole group one place to see what exists, what is due, and what supports it.

01

Franchise & multi-location

One business. A corporation for every location.

See every operating company, property company, and Holdco as one group while each legal entity keeps its own returns, deadlines, and documents.
  • Every location stays distinct
  • The whole filing calendar stays visible
See the specific benefits
02

Real estate groups

Every property has a company behind it.

Keep each property corporation’s ownership, tax programs, notices, balances, and supporting documents with the right company while seeing the whole portfolio.
  • Ownership stays visible
  • Every notice lands with the right company
See the specific benefits
03

Healthcare & professional groups

The structure grew beyond the shared calendar.

Connect clinic corporations, professional corporations, management companies, and Holdcos so the group no longer depends on one person remembering how it all fits together.
  • Obligations stay with each entity
  • Tax information stays available when staff or advisors change
See the specific benefits
04

Acquisitive private companies

Every acquisition brings another tax history.

Bring newly acquired entities into the group, see what is missing, and preserve the returns, notices, balances, and ownership history that arrived with the deal.
  • New entities enter one structure
  • Gaps appear before they become surprises
See the specific benefits
Different businesses.One shared need: keep every company distinct and see the group in one place.

A useful threshold

Built for the point where the spreadsheet stops working.

An advisor may handle the tax work. Your company still needs to keep the group’s tax information organized.

  • You manage several related corporations.
  • Your accountant prepares the tax work, but your company needs to maintain the record.
  • Filing dates live partly in spreadsheets or calendars.
  • Prior-year tax information is buried in returns and working papers.
  • Adding another company makes the system harder to maintain.
  • Changing staff or advisors would mean rebuilding the tax record.
