Which one fits your firm

Choose Spark AI if

  • US accounting and tax firms already on Rightworks cloud hosting that want a secure AI assistant.
  • Firms wanting AI research, document summarization, and drafting suited to accounting work.
  • Practices that want AI inside a SOC-compliant hosted environment rather than a public chatbot.

Think twice about Spark AI if

  • Firms not on Rightworks hosting. Spark AI is bundled with the Cloud Hosting plan, not sold alone.
  • Solo practitioners wanting a cheap standalone AI tool. Spark AI comes with a hosting subscription.
  • Firms outside the US, where Rightworks focuses its hosting and AI.

Choose TaxDome if

  • Solo and small firms that want one platform for client portal, workflow, e-signatures, billing, and tax organizers.
  • Tax-heavy practices that send pre-filing questionnaires and want clients to complete them inside a branded portal.
  • Firms outside the US (UK, Australia, Canada, Europe) that need practice management without US-only platform limits.

Think twice about TaxDome if

  • Practices that want to try before committing. TaxDome offers no free trial.
  • Firms with no tax work in their service mix. The tax organizers are the main draw.
  • Teams that want an email-as-spine workflow rather than a tax-organizer-led client portal.

What each one does

About Spark AI

Spark AI is an AI assistant built for accounting and tax work by Rightworks, handling research, document analysis, drafting, and summarization inside a secure, hosted environment. It is bundled with Rightworks cloud hosting rather than sold standalone, so a firm gets AI alongside the SOC-compliant infrastructure it already runs its software on.

Best for US accounting firms on Rightworks cloud hosting that want a secure, accounting-focused AI assistant bundled in.
